Money From Apps (Frequently review your Keyword Rankings)
This is a lesson from Justin Mailk who makes his money from his numerous Apps in App Stores today. In 2013, Justin left his job and decided to delve into the world of app development full-time. Before he discovered the secret of frequently reviewing keyword rankings to promote his apps, he made about $10 a day from his Apps for the few days, and then nothing. Justin’s advice is to review the rankings of the keywords used to promote your App – and do it every week. This is in an effort to adapt to the changing conditions in the App store and to the ever-fickle moods displayed by users online.
Tapps Games (Use Crowdsourcing to generate ideas)
This is a strategy used by one of the most successful App store sellers today. Felipe Watanabe of Tapps Games says that one of the main reasons why his company has achieved more than 10 million downloads is because no idea is too far-fetched for them to consider. This goes for App ideas as well as App promotion ideas. So join like-minded forums, read up on all the best App promotional ideas and ask people what Apps they’d like to have to achieve App store domination.
Game Scorpion Inc. (Localize your keywords)
Abhinav Gupta of Game Scorpion Inc. brings a whole new perspective to App Store Optimization and keyword localization. One of the very first things he tells anyone who is interested in making money through App development is that they should always remember these 6 letters when they are working on their optimization: T.R.I.C.K.S
- Title
- Reviews
- Icon
- Customer
- Keywords
- Screenshots and videos
He says that when it comes to localized keyword optimization; do not feel restrained by any kind of language barrier. Just because a certain keyword does not rank highly in English doesn’t necessarily mean that it is also ranks low in Mandarin. Find out how well keywords fare in different languages and rank your App keywords in whatever language works best.
Snapper for Digital Ocean (Avoid tips, tricks, and advice that does not work)
According to Nic Raboy of Snapper for Digital Ocean, one of the best ways to start making money through App store optimization is to stop wasting money on optimization tricks that do not work. He specifically mentions ‘paid reviews’ as a strategy that will waste your money, time, and energy that could have been spent doing other things to promote your Apps.
Cloudon (Add Keywords to the title)
Sometimes, it can be as simple as doing something that you may already be doing. Cloud on, one of the biggest document-sharing Apps today, achieved phenomenal success by simply adding targeted keywords to the title. This, however, has to be based on great keyword research. According to Kissmetrics, Apps that have keywords within the titles see a 10.3% increase in ranking.
Veg Pest ID (Make good use of keyword suggestion tools)
As much as you may think that you have found every possible keyword that will do well in the App store, chances are you haven’t thought of everything yet. John Mitchell of Veg Pest ID says that using keyword suggestion tools is a great way to discover new, obscure, and well-hidden keywords that just might help improve your rank.
