This is where you need some help, you’re great at designing an app but you’re not a marketing guru, so how do you do it? This guide will give you some handy hints and tips on where to go next.
Get It On The App Stores
The first thing to do is to get the app available on the relevant platform so that users can download it directly through their phone’s app store, this means they won’t have to manually install it and not have to disable any security features to do this, as this will put off a huge number of potential users and consign your app to being a fringe, underground thing, not a position you want to be in! Look up the correct info on how to upload to both Google Play Store and/or to Apple App Store the Apple version is a little trickier but if you follow the correct procedure you should be fine.
Create a Website and Blog For The App

Have A Social Media Presence

You need people to be able to find info and literature on your app from the Facebook page, hear latest updates via your Tweets or see stunning pics and videos via the Instagram. Not only will you be able to update your current users but all these platforms have easily integrated advertising features that allow you to quickly and easily reach highly targeted new customers to use your app.
Update And Improve Continually
