Tips to a great app launch?

Hello indiehackers !

First of all, I am glad to be a part of such a great community. The knowledge and insights I am getting are so valuable and I want to thank each of you.

The thing is I am building a social app in travel niche. The app is on track to launching in both apple and google stores in coming weeks. Since, i am new to the app business, can you guys share some strategies/experiences to successful launch of the app. I have some social media presence and some email lists too.

Thank you !

    Ok, Here are my 3 Tips

    1. Create it as a paid app, use the Google Play Developer Console tools to provide a discount and make it free for a limited time. It will boost the app download
    2. use Reddit /freebies subreddit to promote it for free during the promotional period.
    3. Collaborate with small YouTube travel channels with less than 10K subscribers. These influencers will be willing to content around the travel app to help their viewers. Give special promo code's to these YouTubers let them incentivize their followers.

      Thank you for your insights. I am thinking about creating a free app with subscriptions.Can you tell which option may be good between creating a paid app versus a free app with paid subscriptions ?

        It depends on what your goal , Are you looking to increase the app download or do you want to have paid users from the start.
