I followed this method to acquire the first 10,000 downloads in just first month of the app release
i was working in a private MNC with a shitty salary and wanted a changed i had to come up with something which could help me escape from the jib system Something of my own, some kind startup which helps me to earn more than my shitty salary I had prior experience of Android but with not much success and no such app that could help me achieve this goal of mine to come out of the job system I started looking for successful android Application which has helped developer earn in good numbers and here i was with a plan to develop a music player of my own. There were tons of them and the reason i chose a music player was that every application i could find there had a least a million downloads so it was fixed that in the coming 3-4 months my app will be seen among other music player applications So these two things were my ways of getting downloads. 1. Best graphics 2. A general purpose app 3. Appeasing color pallet 4. Beautiful yet powerful 5. Has animations 6. works seamlessly without a flaw. 7. drains less battery I was done with the development within 2 months and released the app with a normal icon searched from the net. I needed a unique app icon for the app which i got for $11 on fiver. I created the screenshot by myself and trust me they look professionals i had been taking idea from other applications too I have started to earn from ads from this application in the first month itself so now i'll be spending that money on screenshots and video for sure I saw ASO for tons of application and was able to create one for my own 1. A keyword should be 5 times in the description. 2. Put the keyword in the name 3. Put the keyword in the package name. To give my app a starting i was asking my friends and colleagues to download and review the application and later i realized that this won't help me reach my goal I kept adding friends, Even facebook blocked me from sending texts to anyone The early downloads and reviews were quite important. They reviewed and downloaded. About 200-300 of them. After the launch i quit my job and decided to work full time on the application as it was the only thing left which i could do my myself Started posting on facebook pages and groups and I did get some likes and downloads from there Posting on youtube reviewers comments and sending them my app link asking for reviews Then posting on their new videos ,asking people to try it and asking the channel owner to review it. I posted them 100 each day or maybe more. Posting on reddit,forums, qoura etc.Got about 200 downloads from there I was doing this for 30 days and finally I had the result. <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FYE2ms7pr04/WEU2QaVClNI/AAAAAAAAAFE/EYwr87lM3bcC9zFPFQ8Y_Y1MXHZ3jVJ6wCLcB/s1600/Screenshot_20161130-150736.png> It was 10,000 downloads in the first month and with it came the $100 So i started experimenting a lot. Like I used to spam on quora, and realized how it can improve the ranks. I started targeting good keywords written in my ASO The rate of growth is very high https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ac.themusicplayer DO CHeck it’ll OPEN your MIND as a developer -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
