Promoting Your Comics

Once your apps have been submitted to the app stores, you can increase the downloads by promoting your apps.

Deeplinking to App Stores

The easiest way is to just add deep links to app store pages, from your own PC or mobile websites. You can copy the URL from the address bar of the Web browser, when viewing the specific app page in the app store Web site. As an example, here are URLs to a comic in Android Market and Nokia Store:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mobcomics.mobic.Ants1
http://store.ovi.com/content/13352

To add the links on your Web page, add the following code with your app URL from the relevant app store:

<a href=”http://your.comic.url.in.app.store”><img src=”http://your.app.promo.image.png” /></a>

Twitter and Facebook

In addition to submitting your comic to app stores, Mobcomics will also make it available to mobile (and PC) Web browsers. You will get a URL linking to your comic. You can then easily promote your comic by sharing this link via social networks, like Twitter and Facebook.

Promotion Tools

Nokia Store has a really handy promotion tool, that you can use to create online banners with links to your apps. You can find it from: http://promotions.ovi.com/omt/.
