    Honestly you might end up throwing that money away. Honestly spend a couple of months learning more about the game development community and ways to advertise games at a cheap or preferably free price. Take this from someone who was in your shoes a year ago. If you take my advice you will save a lot of money. That's one of the reason I stopped publishing; I also got a new job that requires a lot of my time and weekends so now I'm just leisurely making games.

    @Arshpreet Well, we noticed that many apps growing being promoted in Instagram accounts. If you want to be a published then it's a great way to start owning and improving your own Instagram account, for instance. Facebook page will be more difficult to grow than Instagram account. So, you can acquire current established account in Entertainment field and improve it on a regular basis. Then you will able to use your Inst acc to promote apps.

    Haha yeah. That pretty much sums it up (unfortunately). $800 is just not enough to invest in marketing. You want to put there an additional zero at the end so you can really plan a campaign. The only thing I can think of are facebook ads. But it really depends on your game.

    In my personal opinion the 800$ will help, but they're not essential if you want to have a fan page like Ketchapp has..
    You'd need to find yourself a target audience, or several
    You need to deliver something If you want your audience to grow and keep delivering so they will stick with you or at least keep you on their feed page ..
    Other than that, it'l snowball if done correctly , the more people that like your content the higher the chances of this audience grow into something bigger (fanbase page not only for content delivery but to obviously advertise whatever you see fit )

    Hi, guys!
    I think you don't have to spend 800 dollars to build a big page. Admittedly, Facebook is a good way to advertise your game app and gain more audiences of your game, but the result of that is not good enough. If you want to promote your app fast and effectively, maybe you should try to so ASO work:

    ASO is the abbreviation of “App Store Optimization”, it’s the process to optimize apps to rank higher in the app store’ search results. The higher the app ranks in the app stores’ search results, the more visibility for app potential users. Also, the more traffic to your app will be led.

    ·Design a beautiful Icon
    A beautiful icon will leave deep impression to the people who see it, which is also useful for attracting people to download and try your app. Besides the icon, comfortable app screenshots and awesome app video also has a very important effect on the app ranking in the app store.

    ·Create a quality title
    According to the Google Play Store data, it shows that the title contains keywords can improve 10.3% ranking in the app store, so be sure to put the main keywords in the title.

    ·Get high ratings

    Only 15% users would like to download those apps with 2 ratings, and 50% users would like to download those 3 rating apps. However, 94% users would like to download those 4-5 rating apps. In order to increase your app download rate, you need to take the following measures.

    Guide those users who have downloaded your app and uses well to rate your app. Take seriously of those ratings below 3 stars.If it’s a malicious attack from competitors or other people please report it to Google Support.
    Use the professional ASO service of ASO companies, they can provide more professional service for you and help your app ranking rank top in a pretty short time.

    Gather good reviews

    Good reviews is also very important factor in app promoting, users will leave good reviews for your app for its good functions or beautiful interface, so make sure design and code your app as well as you can. If you tried everything that you could but still cannot get enough good reviews then you also ask paid-review company help you, just like BestReviewApp, it will help you access a lot of users and leave a good review for you.

    Do keywords research
    the quality of keywords affects your app ranking. However, promoting the quality of keywords is a tough task, including the relevance, competitive, localization and plural. So, it is necessary to optimize your keywords using some effective ways. If you have enough budget, you can buy keywords search installs from a reliable app store optimization company, like ASOTOP1, to promote the search ranking of your app.

    Wish this methods will be useful, in terms of you have enough budget, doing aso work is very necessary and suitable for you. Good luck!

    Everyone is trying to be a "publisher" these day. I think the more important question beyond $800 is, what advantage do you have that a game developer might not have themselves?

    1) Have you established yourself as a successful developer? Fan following, etc.
    2) Are you extremely familiar with games development and can add value to the games you work with?
    3) Do you have any existing contact within Apple / Google Play that would help get a game featured?
    4) Do you have existing relationship with any game reviews site that will provide coverage to the game you're publishing?
    5) Do you have $20,000 or more in marketing fund that will help give a boost to the game you publish.

    If your answer is NO to any of the question above, you should instead focus on those areas before trying to help others.

    To use Ketchapp as an example, they did not started out as a publisher. Their games (2048 port) got really popular first before moving on to publishing for others.

    It gets back to the #1 point I brought up. Make good products, when you have established yourself, they will notice you and reach out.

    In general: don't do anything illegal and if you do, NEVER do it by itself. If you do ASO burst or anything similar, Google or Apple will notice. They always do. And they will ban your app or even worse, your account or you as a person doing business with them. If you decide to do something you have to be aware of the consequences. Would you want to do business with someone who scams you? Of course not. Well, Google and Apple either.

    What is it you are offering @ReviewApp4U?
