To give my app a starting I was asking my friends and colleagues to download and android reviews the application and later I realized that this won't help me reach my goal because what I was getting was 10 – 15 downloads a day and my application was nowhere seen on play store when you search “music player”. I got tensed, after good amount of efforts on the application development now I will have to spend time on android promotion too.
After the launch I quit my job and decided to work full time on the application promotion as it was the only thing left which I could do my myself.
I kept adding friends, Even facebook blocked me from sending texts to anyone. The early downloads and android ratings were quite important. They reviewed and downloaded. About 200-300 of them. Started posting on facebook pages and groups and I did get some likes and downloads from there
Commenting on Application reviewer’s videos and sending them my app link asking for reviews through Youtube. Then posting on their new videos, asking people to try it and asking the channel owner to review it. I posted them 100 each day or maybe more.
In the first week of following this routine of promotion I got 1000 downloads and even 25 reviews. At the end of first week of promotion I was getting almost 250 downloads/day. This graph was increasing exponentially.
Earlier my app was not visible on searching “music player” on the play store. But, after I had been posting on quora and other forums telling things about the application, the ranking was raised to 52 from being nowhere in the list in just 1 week. Applications with 50,000 downloads + apps were listed below my application. This was a sign of pure success with 0 spending on Promotion.
I was doing this for 30 days and finally I had the result. It was 10,000 downloads in the first month and with it came the $100. next $200 on its way for next month.
So I started experimenting a lot. Like I used to spam on quora, and realized how it can improve the ranks.
