Nothing seriously genius, but still worth crosschecking with your list:
- In this race, the Hare beats the Tortoise. Develop fast, release often
- Make sure the price is right
- Show off your feathers. Back to the high school analogy: a nice pair of stilletos and some sexy lip gloss can definitely help you get noticed on the App Store.
- Partner for success
- PR isn’t all its cracked out to be. […] getting coverage on blogs or gaming sites was hardly a boon for long-term success.
- Get sponsored by Apple. Yeah, we don’t really know how to achieve this, but it’s obviously the holy grail of App Store success.
