1. You should start with competitor back links. Which makes you easy to find the appropriate sites for promoting apps.

Could you please further elaborate on this step?

1 - Post apps to review sites
2 - Press release
3 - Find forums, communities that would use your app and promote there
4 - Social Promotions, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn etc.
5 - Guest blogging on other blogs
6 - Blog on your own blog

this discussion is interesting. Have you any advice on how to make a video?

In addition to what others has written above it would be great to do small paid promotion when you launch. As nothing better than having so many downloads at one point of time. But prerequisite to paid promotion is to have great app and some viral elements. First set of 10000 users(paid or free) should get you at least next 5000.

You just search your "competitor name" in Search engine. You could find list of sites, which is already they listed on those sites(articles, blog, app directory, etc..). You can try to promote your app on those sites.

Great idea!
However, what if you don't have competitors yet?

Although there are to start can post for free in forums and stores, I think you should spend money on advertising

I find it very hard to promote in such a "full" and saturated market as the market of mobile apps/games.. Im a game developer myself, who just released first game on Google Play. And I simply feel like a way too small fish in a way too big ocean

I think if you don't have a nice budget to work with, the only way is hard work. Post everywhere you can, even if each place bring you 1-2 downloads.

Being a developer myself (and a student), having a budget which could really make any significant mark on your downloads counter is really tough.

You need use app promotion app

Could you please elaborate further? Which app? Are you referring to review exchanges?

My 2 Cents. Instead of wasting your time going around internet and posting info about your app it is better to spend this time improving the app and have a budget for paid advertising. With AdWords you can get to as low as 10 cents per install.

Cross promotion will work best for games.

 

[Alexandra888]

Right now, i am getting users with facebook ads in a 7 cents per install campaign.

 

[rockoftune]

in my opinion you are in the right place
