Hello, I've created an android app and I'd like to know the best ways to promote it... by the way, app in entertainment niche. Thanks for help.
 
Advertise on BHW
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 :D

Check the Download area for Apps. Amish has a good one.
 
you can start an affiliatecampaign for an android app at mobile affiliate networks like kissmyads, mobpartner or offermobi.
 
If its free put it up on thepiratebay. People always go on there to look for good apps.
 
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!

Nice idea, thanks for sharing
 
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
 
If you have a budget you can also promote it by programmatic media buying

Step 1: Understand your app
Step 2: Know and identify your target audience
Step 3: Design your creatives
Step 4: Prepare your target URL
Step 5: Select a self-serve demand-side platform (DSP)
Step 6: Launch your mobile ad campaigns
Step 7: Optimize your mobile ad campaign based on the initial results

Why are bumping a 4 years old thread?
 
I also vote for Google Play title, description and keywords optimization - it is free for you.
 
I'd suggest you to start advertising campaign and you pay per install. I know good network for this with reasonable prices, just PM me, if you need.
