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/
