Hello guys, how are you? This Monday i Release my new App, ePig Dive Treasure Hunter, it is really my best creation by FAR! People that have played have only rated 5 starts, and they have played a LOT based on GameCenter Scores. But I haven`t got to many sales (Just starting, I know i want make a lot of money in just 2 days) But I was wondering if you could help, giving the best marketing tips. Here is the Download Link of my App: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/epig-dive-treasure-hunter/id436243234?mt=8&ls=1 The Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FNkuxFZM94 The Gameplay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBHkF3enTgw And the Website (For ScreenShots): http://www.epiggames.com Cheers!
Holy production quality trailers batman!! How much did you spend on those?? Very nicely polished! My biggest suggestion and best bang for your buck is to include an "Invite Your Friends" button on the front page of the App. Let them send an email invite, tweet, or facebook post to their buddies with the push of a button. Give them some small incentive for sending the invitations, and watch the millions of dollars pour in.
Sound like "use internet and the media to promote your game." it's easy to say... unless you're Lady Gaga, where and how to promote on facebook and twitter, that's the big question.
The first one was promoted before the game was lunched. The Second one shows de game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBHkF3enTgw Off course I did promote of Twitter, Facebook, some forums and my website http://www.epiggames.com Cheers.
Thanks, the app is also Amazingly well done, people that play it, love it, and they rate it 5 stars, but it has very low downloads. Whehre do you guys promote?
not really promoting, still trying to figure it out ourselves. were a free app though, so its a bit different for us.
I think you should hold some kind of promotional contest using the forums here and facebook/twitter I see a lot of devs doing this and it seems to really help boost downloads. You can even add an incentive like like a review of the game and get an extra entry or something like that. Also just find the most popular sites like appmodo, ifanzine etc. and give them a copy of the game and get a review put out there
Follow my list in this guide http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=100094 It alot of work but it should help you make some improvement to your sales.
Nice video! Maybe you can join the Indie Developers Re-Tweet Group (IDRTG). You can get a lot of retweets by members. That leads to more impressions and downloads. Check it out: IDRTG - Most Effective Marketing Technique on Twitter for Indie Developers
