How hard is it to sell your own mobile apps?

Note: My native language is not English, and I do not speak English in my country of birth. All the knowledge about expression relies on self-learning. I have tried my best to write this article in the smoothest English. I believe that I have spent a lot of time correcting mistakes.) However, omissions are still difficult to avoid. Please forgive me. As a translator, I will forgive you first)

Three weeks without money-what's the problem?

If you have been concerned about my blog, we should know that three weeks ago we just launched the first original mobile game in the Play Store called the 'sudoku imperial' single version, the link is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details? Id = com. gurumades. msudoku ). I personally look forward to receiving a warm response from this product, but cruel facts prove that not everyone has a good fortune to become famous one night.

Three weeks later, the number of users who actively downloaded and installed the game had not exceeded one hundred. To be honest, this disappointed me. We are disappointed because we have invested a lot of energy and effort in this game. In the development process, I firmly believe that my design creativity has brought this simple puzzle game to a new height. I have read a lot of books about how to market mobile games and have put many seemingly rational solutions into practice. However, the results are still quite tragic.

Measures we have taken

Send the application to the evaluation website: At the beginning, no one took care of us. It was hard to enter the Evaluation page of a website, but the other party directly said, "Sorry, it is almost impossible to expect this game to get massive downloads and sought after users ".

Advertising on game forums: the total downloads of the four forums are only 20.

Publish this application in the Google + community.

Create game preferences and publish them on Youtube.

Thanks to the help of a friend, we have published an application on two facebook pages of up to 0.2 million of a user. This page mainly introduces the content related to Android smartphones ): but the most shocking result is that both of them only bring less than 20 downloads. I can't help wondering how powerless facebook pages are in advertising.

Now I start to reflect on the effectiveness of the above strategies. Have you ever encountered such problems when selling your own products? How can this problem be solved? Our current plan is to wait another month to see if the situation will improve. In subsequent blog posts, I will announce new statuses at any time to tell you which promotional techniques are effective and which are still ineffective. So, stay tuned.

Today, the DT empire is no longer our first mobile app. In the past few months, we have developed several other products without advertisement ), the total downloads reached 30 thousand. I know that sometimes I have to endure the storm before seeing a rainbow, but what is puzzling is how the products that are red and red are achieved? Every day, we will find one or two application products that have just been launched but have exceeded 10 thousand downloads on the same day, or some junk goods that have been rough and have no intention at the top of the download rankings.

What marketing methods should we try?
