How do you get noticed?<\/p>\n<p class=\"XzvDs _208Ie _3_7DB blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">Its no secret that the App market place is cluttered. There are over&nbsp;<a class=\"_2qJYG blog-link-hashtag-color y_1_u\" href=\"http:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/276623\/number-of-apps-available-in-leading-app-stores\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">3.1 million Apps in the App stores<\/a>&nbsp;and over 60,000 Apps are being published every month. The market is cluttered and getting noticed is the biggest challenge an App Marketer will ever face.<\/p>\n<p class=\"XzvDs _208Ie _3_7DB blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">One of the most rewarding, yet challenging way to get App Downloads is to get your App reviewed by Influencers and Top App Reviewers in your industry. People who have done it know that its easier said than done.<\/p>\n<p class=\"XzvDs _208Ie _3_7DB blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">Your First Experience with getting your App Reviewed would go something like this &#8211;<\/p>\n<ul class=\"_2PG9L PM4OL\">\n<li class=\"_1BJwx _208Ie _3_7DB AvMd_ _310Mz _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">\n<p class=\"_208Ie\">How many App Reviewers you would contact? PLENTY! Probably hundreds of them..<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"_1BJwx _208Ie _3_7DB AvMd_ _310Mz _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">\n<p class=\"_208Ie\">How many will responses to your email? ZERO!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"_1BJwx _208Ie _3_7DB AvMd_ _310Mz _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">\n<p class=\"_208Ie\">How many reviews you will get? ZERO!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"_1BJwx _208Ie _3_7DB AvMd_ _310Mz _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">\n<p class=\"_208Ie\">How many auto-responses you will get asking you to pay for a review? PLENTY again<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"XzvDs _208Ie _3_7DB blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">Problem is it is really hard to market well. I hope to address below questions that I believe every App Marketer has \u2013<\/p>\n<ul class=\"_2PG9L PM4OL\">\n<li class=\"_1BJwx _208Ie _3_7DB AvMd_ _310Mz _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">\n<p class=\"_208Ie\">Is there a way to get noticed and get your App reviewed without being a Supercell, Rovio, Gameloft or Chillingo?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"_1BJwx _208Ie _3_7DB AvMd_ _310Mz _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">\n<p class=\"_208Ie\">Do the review sites even consider a small developer\/publisher?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"XzvDs _208Ie _3_7DB blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">If you are a BIG <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegotoguy.co\/tech-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">App developer<\/a>, your app will be reviewed any ways, the problem is for small developers. You need to go to reviewers and websites to pitch your app. A Top App Reviewer gets over 1000+ emails every day with a subject line \u201cplease review my app\u201d, what do you think they would do? I am sure you know the answer and that is why you got \u2013 ZERO responses and ZERO reviews.<\/p>\n<p class=\"XzvDs _208Ie _3_7DB blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">In my opinion,&nbsp;<strong>\u201cGetting Reviewed\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;depends on 2 things \u2013<\/p>\n<ul class=\"_2PG9L PM4OL\">\n<li class=\"_1BJwx _208Ie _3_7DB AvMd_ _310Mz _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">\n<p class=\"_208Ie\"><strong>Quality of your App:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"XzvDs _208Ie _3_7DB blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">App reviewers are looking for something newer and better, they are looking for apps they themselves would love to use and hence recommend.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"_2PG9L PM4OL\">\n<li class=\"_1BJwx _208Ie _3_7DB AvMd_ _310Mz _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">\n<p class=\"_208Ie\"><strong>Your Pitch for Review<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"XzvDs _208Ie _3_7DB blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">As I said, I am assuming your app is great, so I would focus on the second part which is \u201cPitching your App\u201d. Points mentioned below are taken from an insightful interview with&nbsp;<a class=\"_2qJYG blog-link-hashtag-color y_1_u\" href=\"http:\/\/www.appdesignvault.com\/erica-sadun-pitch-perfect-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Erica Sadun from TUAW (The Unofficial Apple Weblog)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"XzvDs _208Ie _3_7DB blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">It starts with the subject line. Subject line is the elevator pitch in the blogging world. Mention the name of your app in the subject line and tell what it does and how it is different. Limit to 80 characters. Avoid writing meaningless subject lines like \u201cplease review my app\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"XzvDs _208Ie _3_7DB blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">Your pitch email text should include the following \u2013<\/p>\n<ul class=\"_2PG9L PM4OL\">\n<li class=\"_1BJwx _208Ie _3_7DB AvMd_ _310Mz _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">\n<p class=\"_208Ie\">App Full Name with proper spelling and capitalization as it appears in the App store<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"_1BJwx _208Ie _3_7DB AvMd_ _310Mz _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">\n<p class=\"_208Ie\">Link to your product page i.e Website<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"_1BJwx _208Ie _3_7DB AvMd_ _310Mz _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">\n<p class=\"_208Ie\">Link to the app store (Android, iOS, Amazon\u2026)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"_1BJwx _208Ie _3_7DB AvMd_ _310Mz _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">\n<p class=\"_208Ie\">App Price<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"_1BJwx _208Ie _3_7DB AvMd_ _310Mz _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">\n<p class=\"_208Ie\">Screen shots &#8211; Provide 1 or 2 very good screenshots. Don\u2019t send 20 screenshots. Understand the human limitation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"_1BJwx _208Ie _3_7DB AvMd_ _310Mz _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">\n<p class=\"_208Ie\">Always include a video (Max 30 sec to 1 min long). Need not be a public video. Just send a private link to your youtube video. This video should showcase your app. If you have a game, show your game play. This is used to decide whether your App is worth exploring further?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"_1BJwx _208Ie _3_7DB AvMd_ _310Mz _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">\n<p class=\"_208Ie\">Concise 1 paragraph description for the app \u2013 Who the app is for? How your App sets itself apart? What does it offer<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"_1BJwx _208Ie _3_7DB AvMd_ _310Mz _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">\n<p class=\"_208Ie\">Contact Information \u2013 Add your email address (not a link to a form), add skype and twitter details<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"XzvDs _208Ie _3_7DB blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">It would be great if you can supplement this email with a press kit ( Be more proactive, don\u2019t make them look for information \u2013 they wont!). Your press kit should have your App Icon, Screenshots, Press Releases (so that they know the history of your app), Videos, Corporate Profile etc preferably arranged in separate folders.<\/p>\n<p class=\"XzvDs _208Ie _3_7DB blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">Be novel, better, exciting and worthwhile to get their attention. All this starts from the pre-conceptualization phase. Why build something which is out there already?<\/p>\n<p class=\"XzvDs _208Ie _3_7DB blog-post-text-font blog-post-text-color _2p1aK _158eo _3_7DB\">Good luck with marketing your App and \u201cGetting it Reviewed\u201d \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You have built a great App. What next?
