ways to Promote your game Online

[Daikrys]

hey there,

ive been thinking of different ways on how to promote a game online
due to my exam i mostly target on how to promote my app but it should be work for any digital distribution
i forgot to tell that i only target ways that dont have any costs at all, this is important!

so my list contains some ways already and i would be glad if one if you guys find one that i havent think of by now

- gaming Portals
- Forums
- Social Networks
- Blogs
- Advertising Sharing systems (with no cost)
- Digital gaming Magazines

maybe i forgot one but i hope you guys can add another one to my list, a article on "how to promote your app" will be coming when my bachelor exam is done

oh youtube count as Social Network to me but thx
cant say its much different then what i see at facebook, some likes, shares, subscribtions and so on

Another way of promoting your games which maybe doesn't fit right into your theme would be publishing of demo or shareware versions of your game or even publishing early alpha version of your game.
