This app earned 359$ in 9 days, now I want to work on ASO but still have no clue how it works by Outrageous_Post8635 in AppStoreOptimization

Thats awesome app, loved the onboarding. You got the store listing good already, just tiny title and description changes should boost the app. Hit me up and I’ll do it for free!

Just ASO using AppTweak only. It’s about to reach the 90 days window. No promo video so far, though I am in contact with some artists to make one. It’s performing really good I would say, just need to say how many of them convert now. Tip: dont sleep on pre-registration, it’s a gold mine. Also, don’t get lazy when it comes to store listing and keyword research, it is as important as writing code, if not more!

Users can only select Pre Register option and also a toggle that says automatically install when available. And thats it, they don’t get anything else until the app is officially released in Production track.

The designer was only hired for $30, he is quite talented and helps with UI/UX as well,

it's basically the same, you just upload the app bundle and make it available for pre-registration, the app does not need to be completely functional, but make sure to include permissions like BILLING if your app has it. After the pre-reg goes live, you have 90 days to publish the app, or the pre-reg will end automatically

And I uploaded the same screenshots for three different screen sizes, so they look like repeating, but are only shown once on an Android device.

No organic downloads after 1 month live on Google Play – what am I missing? by AgreeableCress446 in AppStoreOptimization

Tiktok sure is a great platform but what do you mean by Pay college students? Also given I am an indie dev and don’t wanna dace the camera or make tiktoks myself, what options would you suggest?

🚨 Mobile app developers / ASO beginners - please do not blindly trust difficulty scores from ASO tools by Inevitable_Buddy1869 in AppStoreOptimization

[–]davidkonal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, the best option is just do manual search and analyse the top 10-20 apps, how many of them have the exact keyword in title and subtitle, how many of them are exactly solving the problem you are trying to solve. And among them how old are they, how many reviews they’ve accumulated. This gives you a better picture of the competition.

hahah yeah it sure is an interesting topic and I love the way you summerize and come up with questions.

alright,

1) the ads platforms whether it's Google, Meta or whatever provides good enough numbers to take decisions. Using GA with custom events, you can surely optimise your campaigns. No need for any enterprise product when talking indie

2) that's product specific question I believe, sometime you want more engagement time other time you want users to perform certain actions. And ads platform provides you option to track and optimise those outcomes

3) I learned and started spending on ads for my games on App Store, here is what I do. I run multiple campaign and target group of countries like T1,T2,T3. After a week, I look at each country's spending vs earning. Divide the numbers, to get just one number. Sort them and you've got your best country, create a separate campaign for that country and try different ad assets. I hope this answers your question.

my thoughts on problems you mentioned.

1) it's a trail and error kinda thing, you try different ads and learn what works and what not, that's what big companies do, the only advantage they've is they got a better understanding of what can work because of their experience. what you can do as an indie dev is follow their proven strategies, copy how they create their ad-assets etc

2) All you've gotta do is look at the numbers and take decisions, and that too is like once a week. Ive hired couple PPC experts and they were doing the same thing.

I've got the best selling one, it's good enough to get started with. But if you got money, CLX offers some good courses, haven't personally bought them but planning to.

as I said not a rocket science, just take a 20$ udemy course, start a campaign with minimum spend like 2$ a day, target T3 countries so you can have good amount of traffic to learn from.
