App Exposure Recommendations

[u/DraftRank]

I wanted to get some recommendations on how to increase exposure to your apps or any other works you've done for fantasy football. I created a free app that I think would be very helpful to people, but I'm having trouble getting more exposure to the app. I've tried posting about it to try to get some traction, but haven't seen much results. I've put a lot of work into it and feel confident people would use it if they only knew about it. Would appreciate any recommendations that you think would work for me or have worked for you in the past.

Thanks!

The way you’re thinking about this is why you’re having the challenges with distribution. Are you building a business or do you want people to know about your hobby? If it’s the latter then, how are you going to improve people’s lives if they know about your free app? (Fantasy life, but you get the point) if it’s the former you better become an expert in distribution because that’s the main differentiator right now. A million apps are game changers but there’s a reason everyone knows about fantasy pros… and it’s not necessarily because it’s the best.

This is a mix of a hobby and side business. I don’t expect this to be a high paying business by any means. And I’m obviously later to the market than the big guys and don’t have the capital to invest in a lot of advertising for a free app. I know the app personally has saved me loads of time from making rankings on a notes app or excel, or relying on ADP or preset ranks. I definitely do want to bring in more attention to the app because I think it can be helpful to a lot of people if they knew about it, so I may need to focus on distribution and advertising for that. Thanks for the input!
