The way i ended up using this web site for promoting my apps is kind of interesting:) i was looking to add some real fans to my Facebook page and Google search directed me ( along with the usual crap sites that use bot to create “like"s for your page) to this little guy- addmefast.com . well i searched the forum here and it is not mentioned so i’ll start a tread and report how it goes( if it " goes” at all, but for that - later) .
Anyway - that site and apparently many more like it, operate on the presumption that the user will go to their site , post ,twit and share other people’s stuff and get rewarded points, which in turn you can use to promote your own page, link ,whatever on FB , Twitter and a few other sites. well - a nice concept so i had some free time and decided to try it yesterday . they give you 50 points just for singing in and i decided to earn some more points first and then promote. Well , earning is as easy as clicking on a link, that’s it - click and watch your points go up. i had about 400 when i made the rookie mistake to add my twitter account so i get more followers - that worked like a charm by the way - in 5 minutes i had 100 new and after investigating them - very much real twitter followers who tweet , re tweet and favor other users tweets ! then i tried to link my Facebook page( which contains the promos to my apps) but for some reason their site kept rejecting it:( anyway - by the time i was done fighting to publish the FB page all my points were gone but i had 100 or so followers on Twitter:) i twitted a quick promo of my apps and got a few re tweets and “favorites” even form the new guys!
So i made a few other bad decisions spending points on stuff not connected to promoting my apps until i realized how to promote them directly. here is the android link if you are so interested :))
i created a tweet containing the links to the Apple app store and Android store and place it for re-tweeting to the masses. did the same with a Facebook post ( which mysteriously linked) . Then i set the countries i want my tweet and FB post to be shared - easy task, just click on the counties you like . i set a not too high price because i didn’t have many points left . In breif - So far reporting - its been about 12 hours and my FB post was "share"d 52 times and my tweet - 80 . No significant bump in downloads , maybe an extra 10 or so but not very clear if it worked . i’ll keep trying and post back here in a day or 2 .
The essence of this “promo” and the reason i’m sharing it and wasting your time is that any exposure is good for your app sales and cannot hurt a bit . This "campaign " is completely free and you control where to get exposure by country . all you need is a little bit of time and maybe, just maybe people will notice your apps and download.
If anybody had any experience with sites like this - please share it! if you decide to give it a shot - please click this link - AddMeFast - FREE Social Promotion - it will give me 200 points so i can keep trying to advertise them apps and then report here how it went.
