Obviously with 500 000+ apps it became very very hard to be visible in Android. Big players tend to collect the revenues, small players do not even have a chance to be seen by enough people to have a chance. Many friends talk about downloads around 10s or 100s even for free apps.
So with some friends we have decided to start an online club where we can meet and discuss how we can support each other so we will have a better chance of succeeding. We will download each others games and give honest reviews and share whatever we know about marketing in this environment. We will share ads of eachothers games. It will not be limited to Android, all relevant platforms are welcome. This will be a serious thing, all members will be recorded with their real companies and data. If you want to join us just send me a PM. We are thinking of stuff that will give members a headstart.
