I love the idea! But, I have not heard of your app before. You should consider raising its awareness - brainstorm some, there's lots of possibilities: funny YT videos, a small adwords budget, sending a well-written digest to tons of app-reviewing journals/blogs, drawing a public stunt the newspaper will write about;
Also mind that Facebook's USP was exclusivity at first - your audience is definitely too broad now.
- pavlov 15y ago... funny YT videos, a small adwords budget, sending a well-written digest to tons of app-reviewing journals/blogs ... Don't bother. Everybody tries these, and they won't get you any attention. Unless you're Sony and you have a million dollars to blow on mindbending visuals for a product commercial, uploading stuff on YouTube is pointless. AdWords won't do anything unless your product targets a very specific niche. There are 500,000 apps on the iOS and Android app stores, so app reviewers get far too many review requests. If you get any feedback, it will be from a shady review site who wants you to pay for the chance that your app may be looked at.
- manmal 15y agoAn optimist here, eh? :) All of your arguments presume a lack of quality - I would not do that. Also, YMMV - it seems your mileage has already varied, but please don't extrapolate too much from your experiences (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_induction http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_induction).
- iamjonlee 15y agoThanks for the support! Well look into the YouTube videos and Adwords budget but it could be difficult to gain traction with many other similar advertisers our there(higher cpc and smaller budget to compete with), but I totally get what you're saying. I'll brainstorm some ideas, thanks!
