155 User Accounts

We keep getting more users! We've had steady growth in the last three weeks, but in the previous two days, we've had a nice pop! Yesterday we had 11 new user accounts, and today we're already up to 155 accounts! We've also had 10 organic shares from in-app prompts.

    Which way are you promoting / marketing? I'm currently looking into ways to market https://trackmylift.app when i release at the end of August!

      Facebook has been the main channel so far. I've put $1/day/platform into a 10 day app install campaign that delivered a steady drop of 0-2 users a day. In the last day or two, I've really been pushing multiplayer, and so I boosted that Facebook post twice ($50/$30), each time with a different audience.

      I'm also planning on running ads on the Apple App Store ($100 credit), the Google Play Store ($150 of credit after spending $150), and Reddit.

      The Facebook experiment makes me think that the DnD themed subreddits are probably where I need to be advertising.

      I'm also working with a podcast on a promotion for the game in the near future. I'll let everyone here know when that is live.

        That is awesome! I'm going to be running Facebook ads as well and with my target audience it's gonna be a nice way to drill into the right audience via the ads as well. Thanks for that insight, it's helpful. Did you think the Boosted post did as well as the actual Adset ad campaign?

          I recommend using the business.facebook.com version of all of the advertising tools. I didn't realize the business version existed. The top bar is a blue-grey instead of the usual blue if you did it right.

          Hitting the right audience is definitely important, and maybe more important than whether you boost or run a normal ad? The $30 attempt got more visibility than the $50 try, and it got double the clicks.

          I think that going forward, I might keep the $1/day/platform (a "slow drip") going with the audience that performed well with the $30 budget.
