..Continued from yesterday
As we mentioned last time, we would be helping you with business tips to excel at your efforts. For mobile apps and some similar online promotion of your products, the list presented yesterday is rather long and was promised to be presented in bits each day.
7. Ask for app reviews. Besides the big tech blogs, there are tons of app review sites.... but don't stop digging for more. Even though you want the whole world to know about your app, try to stay relevant.
10. Contribute to the online conversation. If you read news and articles on other websites, and the site uses Disqus, leave a non-self-promotional but valuable comment. This way you're building your expert level on multiple ends.
11. Create and share interesting infographics. Use a tool like Vizualize.me to create an infographic, and then share it with writers, bloggers, and via social media.
13. Talk to one user at a time. This is extremely crucial. In the beginning your primary goal should be user retention rather than user acquisition. If you manage to form a small group of users that provide essential feedback to help you validate your app's purpose, and get them to remain loyal, then you've got the biggest hurdle behind you. In general, no matter what stage you are at, seek a direct conversation with a user. Ask them questions, listen to their critiques, offer help, make them happy. There is nothing better than word-of-mouth marketing.
30. Communicate with your circle. Let your friends, family, colleagues, and classmates know what you are doing. An occasional update will be enough, since friends and family are a lot less engaged in your activities than you might believe.
34. Link in your business cards. Add a short code or a scanable code to your business cards so that people can download your app faster.
35. Find a partner. Can you team up with another app? Then do so! Cross-promote each other and show that you're not all about getting new users, but that you are a great collaborator.
