Guide: Marketing your Game - Pt. 0 - Introductory
Posted: Sun Apr 27, 2014 9:18 pm
This forum is full of game developers on different levels. Some started two weeks ago and some started years ago. We all have in common, that we enjoy developing games, but I bet that more than 90% of us would enjoy having a successfully running game with active players, that interacts with the development. I, myself, enjoy developing mainly not because of my own satisfaction, but others satisfaction. It is a pleasure to see, that what I make is loved and used by many people, that i would never have gotten the chance to give a smile or an enjoyable moment (hopefully hours) if it wasn't for the game.
I am sure, that a lot of the people here on the indie-resource board are interested in knowing how they can get their precious work seen by others and that is what I will be trying to help you out with. This will be a tutorial series consisting of several parts, where I will teach you everything I know about marketing a game/project. I will cover whatever may be interesting for you guys to know and I am more than open for requests on specific topics. It could be anything from SEO, Link Building or even a specific case, where I go through how I would market it.
Keep in mind, that this is how I would do it. There is no 100% magic success recipe and that is not what i am trying to give you either. However, I am trying to give you the knowledge I have from my projects that worked out well. Everything has to be used differently in the exact context and I am more than happy to ask your questions. I will be making quite a few of these tutorials over the next few weeks so let me know how you want this to be before I start going in the wrong direction.
What would work best for you - A tutorial with a fictive game, that I would go through exactly how I would market it? Tutorials on specific topics like SEO?
