Go Free or Go Home (Android)
I have decided that when it comes to Android, it's an easy decision whether to go free or paid. Free is the only way to go. Paid isn't even an option. There are way too many free apps already and most of them are already tough competetitors. Nobody who uses Android wants to PAY for an app. Android users want apps for FREE. I understand why most Android users feel this way, looking at it from my consumer's perspective, myself. I would like to get myself a Google Nexus 7. My wife has a Galaxy Tab 2 (7") and I also have a (half-broken) Galaxy Tab 32gb (10.1"). My point is, as users of Android ourselves we have really noticed that free apps are the only apps we look for. Paid apps sounds ridiculous on Android. There are so many free websites with app stores that you can promote your free apps on. For a list of app sites/stores that you can distribute your free Android apps on, see my post. The Biggest List of Android Markets/Stores. Check it out. It's pertinent information if you are a self-employed app developer. In light of the "free apps movement", as I'm going to call it, I am making all of my apps free. I will post them with icons and screenshots in my next post. However, keep in mind, we are still working to make better icons and get better screenshots. In the meantime... just play free games! That's what it's all about right?! Free entertainment!

Promoting Your Android App Part 2
As we have seen, there a literally dozens of ways to promote an app. Some of the ways we have talked about so far are: mass distribution (through many stores), promoting your app in forums, creating a website, hosting your app on fileshares, distributing apps as torrents, and starting a blog. We have also talked a wee bit about social sharing, but today I'd like to talk about that a little bit more. The importance of social sharing is phenomenal when it comes to marketing your apps. The other day, my brother in-law came over and told my wife and I that some girl made a video of herself playing our game on Facebook. Sometimes, we tend to overlook some of the obvious things: start a Fan Page, etc. What I am saying is, you really SHOULD have a fan page for your business, at least, and maybe even a few for individual apps. Creating a Facebook fan page can be huge for business. You can find out more about fan pages here: https://www.facebook.com/pages. Another, possibly even more powerful than Facebook pages, useful tool is Google+/Google Pages. Create a page on Google+, you won't regret it. You can even link it to your Blogger account so when you blog it automatically gets posted to your page. More information about Google+ Pages can be found here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/pages/manage. Also, if you are trying to make it big in Android, you shouldn't spend all your free time blogging about developing. Haha. Jk. Anyway, some other things you should consider are: posting links to Digg, Reddit, Delicious, Pinterest, RebelMouse, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Blogger, etc. One more thing I'd like to mention, which of course most of you have probably heard of, is cross-promotion. One of the BEST ways to promote your app (or anything for that matter) for free, is to exchange advertising for advertising, of course, our good friends at TapForTap can surely help you out with that. I will write an article about them later. They deserve it, if you haven't seen it yet, check out TapForTap, now. There is also a Mega-Post of all android/r/ developer's apps on Reddit, which can be found here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/rdfdn/megapost_of_all_apps_created_by_randroid/

Promoting Your Android App Part 1
Today I want to talk a little about promoting your Android app in general. I will also provide links to many valuable resources for promoting your apps. There are loads of ways to promote your app. One way I have talked about previously is to submit your app to alternative markets (markets other than Google Play). I posted a massive list I have accumulated while searching for alternative forms of distribution. The list can be found in the original post, which is available here: http://anddev.blogspot.com/2012/09/big-list-of-app-markets.html. Another form of promotion is to submit your app to forums. I have also written a previous post about that, as well as distributing through fileshares, torrents, etc. However, there are some other ways I haven't discussed. Some of them being very important to promoting your app. One of the most important ways to promote your app that every developer should definitely have, at least one of, is a website. Having a website helps promote your app, helps users find to your app and information about all of your apps, and helps increase SEO of your app on the web (and by SEO I, of course, mean search engine optimization). Also, if you have a website, you can promote the website, which in turn, promotes your app(s). One the absolute BEST ways to promote your website is through StumbleUpon and also their su.pr shortlink service. Another one, that will also help with SEO, is to submit your site to Digg and Reddit. There is one more great way to promote your app that I'd like to talk about before I give you the list of sites to help with your promotion, and that is, through a blog. Having a blog can, easily, be one of the greatest ways you can promote your app for free. If you want to see an example check out our "Poke My Gummy Blog", a blog based off our simplest game on which we now post information about all of our gummy games.
