prompter: How can I promote an app that I have built? it currently has 0 users and I have no friends or family to show it to

assistant: There are a number of ways to get your app off the ground. Consider joining a community relevant to your target audience, and seeing if anybody there is interested in your app. You can gain valuable feedback and a few users this way. To gain even more users, try leveraging social media platforms such as Twitter, Mastodon, and Reddit. You can create posts to promote your app and use hashtags to reach a wider audience. You can also consider advertising your app through platforms like Google Ads or Apple Search Ads. These platforms allow you to target specific demographics and reach a wide audience. Finally, you can use App Store Optimization (ASO) to increase your app's visibility on the App Store and Google Play Store. This involves optimizing your app's name, description, and keywords to make it easier for potential users to find. By using a combination of these strategies, you can increase the visibility of your app and start to build up a user base.

prompter: Thanks. And once my app has users what's the best way to monetize it? Should I make a premium subscription and add new features to it? Should I make the app or parts of it paid? Should I just use ads in the app?

prompter: I would like to know more about ASO. Can you give me some names to actual service providers and compare their solutions? Please also try to determine which provides the most bang for the buck?

prompter: I have some money set aside for advertising. I have a budget of a few thousand dollars. What are some good avenues for spending this money toward advertising without creating ads or social media posts myself?

assistant: There are a few things you could do to help promote your app. 

* You could reach out to influencers and ask them to review your app on their social media channels. 
* You could also create a website to showcase your app and share it with potential users. 
* Additionally, you could create a social media campaign to help spread the word about your app. 
* Finally, you could look into advertising your app on popular platforms such as Facebook, Google, and Instagram. 

I hope this helps! Please feel free to ask me any other questions regarding app promotion, or other topics.
