How To Market Your App With Social Media

By Hugh Kimura·Feb 26, 2014·8 min read

To market your app on social media effectively, focus on providing value to your target audience rather than promoting to other developers.
Use tools like Hootsuite to schedule at least one post per day across major platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.
Share interesting content tailored to your app's niche, such as tips, contests, or complementary apps.
Engage in related groups and use relevant hashtags to reach a wider audience.
Avoid common mistakes like blasting repetitive promotional messages or purchasing followers, as this can harm your credibility.
Instead, employ strategies like the follow-back method on Twitter to organically grow your audience.
Consistency and genuine value are key to building a loyal following that will download and use your app.

Strong open rates, weak app revenue: your email campaign isn’t broken. Your links are.

High email CTR but low app conversion indicates a broken link handoff, not campaign flaws. ESP tracking redirects strip deep link context, causing app opens to miss targeted screens. Fixing the infrastructure layer restores intent, doubling purchase rates.
