Need Help!! How to promote an android game?

[medu]

Hello, i have published my new game last week Guard of The Light. I got only 450 installs for it. It has been 7 days since i started using adwords but i have small budget. Can you please let me know what are the cheapest ways to promote an android game?
And also do you have any idea about buying installs? Some people say that you get banned if you buy installs. So even if i am willing to spend some money, is adwords only way to promote an app?
Really need your suggestions about this.

If you could install and let me know what your opinions are about Guard of The Light, i would be grateful!!

Actually i don't know why but i have 8 campaigns in adwords but while i am getting installs from turkey and spain, i can not get from other countries. I have 8 language options but get 0 installs from finland, sweden. What do you think? What am i doing wrong? By the way , sorry if i am asking stupid questions but i am new in this.

Try instagram and facebook ads, you can get mannnyy installs for cheap from there. Even with lot budget you can do it, but you'll need to do split testing to see what kind of persons want to use your app. If you use facebook ads in the long term it'll be easy with the pixel

Yes you are right. I think i am too worried and need to calm down. When you put some effort you want to get results fast but i guess it doesn't work like that. Waiting to see how it goes is so frustrating.

I would try youtube ads if honest. Find a game similar to yours and then target keywords for similar games to display your ad.

A few days ago i found out that 2 youtube channels with 30k subscribers reviewed Guard of The Light. So i have sent mail to other game review channels too. But i didn't think of youtube ads, don't know if i can effort.

Sounds good, YouTube ads are fairly simple and a great way to promote for a very low cost ppv/ PPC. It was a lot cheaper than the usual google AdWords in my experience with ads. Good luck

Really agree with you, Adwords is very frustrating and also because of competition you'll pay high. If you're new to the games think of others ppc network and also look at ASO tutorial, if you rank on keywords installs will come organicly.. For free !

I searched about other ppc networks but usually all promotion, couldn't find honest info about them. Don't know which one is reliable.
