Hi There!
I’m in the same boat as OP, and I will explain what I tried to do but I don’t think it has worked well for me.
We started with some boosted post on facebook. But I doubt it worth it, no way to know if you get any install. I didn’t
know they an apps ads program, maybe I will try that.
Then we tried full text ads with Admob. Not bad, but it was costing us like 0.75$ an install, which is pretty high for the simple game I was trying to market.
Before knowing it was illegal, I bought some review on Fiverr for 5$. We got like 25 reviews, but they got deleted the day after. Not worth it, especially since I know it illegal.
I then tried AyetStudio, a service from a user of this forum. Pretty cool with a CPI. It’s lilke 0.10$ CPI. You even got a free 50 download trial. I worked well, but sadly the number of uninstall after
the trial was enourmous. I’m not sure it’s good for us if we have 90% of downloaded that remove the apps one day later. Still a nice service!
We then tried Admob full Image ads. We designed a full screen image of our logo. I think it’s our best method right now, as we get a CPI of around 0.39$. But it stills really expensive to get many download, and
we are still not in the top new release. Is it because I’m doing my ads in any location, and I might be top new release in like pakistan but not here in north america?
Here OP what I did, and for around 200$ I’m still around 200 download and only 50% keeper rate.
Do you guys know if install are worth it even if they uninstall it after? And if I should aim my promotion in expensive country (Ex : NA) only?
Thanks!
(I’m kind of hijacking the thread, but I’m sure it could help OP too!)
Both, the number of installs and uninstall rate are crucial. They are probably the two most important factors in Google Play ranking. Ideally you’d want to have many donwloads and also a high number of active installs. If many users are uninstalling your app then for Google it’s a sign that the app is not good and its ranking will surely be affected. So, I’m not sure if it’s useful to get such installs where 90% of the people uninstall it on the next day.
I think that marketing strategies like posting Facebook, Twitter and forums won’t give you many installs unless you have a huge number of followers. Spending money for advertising will give you an initial boost which helps to climb up in the rankings. However it requires a decent budget (at least $2K-$3k) and spending only few hundred dollars is not going to make a big impact I guess. It’s possible to get your app in top lists with advertising but still it has to be great to stay there.
Have you already launched your app on the app store. See there are actually slightly different strategies to follow before app release(like Press Release), at the time of app release(ASO, Banner ads) and after the release of your app on the app store(re-engaging users, in-app ads). Check them out and formulate your plan accordingly
