Marketing Your iPhone App

Here is a very condensed version of my notes from the “Marketing iPhone Apps” seminar at the iPhone Forum back in November:

There are about 150 blogs that announce/review things like iPhone apps (e.g., TechCrunch)

Moopf: scrapes reviews, rankings from international iTunes stores

You should produce marketing assets for your app before launch; some of the assets can be included in your page in the App Store

Have a US-based iTunes account if possible

You must have a website that explains the app: have screenshots and video

Provide a feature in your app to “tell a friend”—unlockable content if you tell 5 friends

Put an ad for your app inside other people’s apps

Underserved markets: children, women, Latinos (my idea: create an app for female Latino children)

Track everything you can with analytics

UPDATE: Smashing Magazine has just published an article on marketing your iPhone app:
