Just try out posting at some andriod related forums.
Just submit to the android marketplace!
Make sure the package name is keyword relevent. Good title. Max out the description, stuff keywords. Max out all the assets, including a yt video. Update once a week to show more installs to push you up the search results.
Pay for 5* ratings on fiverr.
Submit a press release to pr sites.
Write articles on fast indexing sites like xomba.
Submitting to the marketplace though is pretty much self promoting. Your app will appear on dozens of websites without having to do a thing.
I've currently got 470,000+ installs and counting

Before you make any sort of promotional effort, you need to do the following:
1) Make sure you have a good rating. Get 10 friends to give you 5-stars. Nobody wants to download an unrated app (or even one with less than 5 ratings).
2) Add a video on the app store. It doesn't need to be pro, just something that gives a good indication of what your app does.
3) Make sure your screenshots are good and your description is accurate. The first sentence is the most important for describing what the app does.
After it's on the store (free version):
1) Post in forums
2) Submit it to review websites
3) Write up a press release (catchy headline, what your app does, why is it better - have a good angle) and send it to every news / tech / related website you can find. Who knows, 1 or 2 websites out of the 100s might write something about you, which can get you 100s of downloads. It's worth the hours it takes to do this. Also, use some Mail Merge software to make it personal (as simple as "Hi [name]").
4) Find influential twitter users that you think would use your app. Send them a message - dont harass them though. Be sincere. If they like it and they haven't tweeted about it, ask them to.
That's what I do. I'm keen to hear what others are doing.

1. Search market for paid to play.
2. Download app and find out what promotion they use.
3. Use there promotion tool and get your app in next
OR
Create your own " paid to play app "
put your app in the download section
users get 25c everytime they download
IMPORTANT!-
-Make payout $5.00 BUT make sure there are only 19 apps so this way the user never reaches $5.00... 19 x .25 = 4.75
If you use the right software this can not only promote your app but make you lots of cash!

Hi there,
I need a quick hand with a competition in which I would need around 50 auth downloads (no reviews) from the US. I could pay .50$ a download. However, time is super pressed I would need this done by the end of this sunday Feb. 21st, 2016!
You can reach me on skype at : maxgreenhalghzzz

I use app exchange review sites, they are free, you rate other app developers and other developers will rate your app
