Marketing Madness...

Well, I've just spent the morning (and now day) touting Slam! to the iPhone review sites worldwide... my brain has nearly dissolved under the strain...

Website reviews, 100's of ways to submit an app for review, different requirements... Facebook... Twitter... must have presences... all requiring "maintenance" to keep the thing alive... it's more than a full time job, surely?

I've seen really cool developers out there - with nice websites, lots of content - they seem to have the time to post useful, and informative material... and also hit the marketing avenues... how do they do it? I could easily spend my entire day on this, every day... and not do a single line of code towards my next project(s)...

I remember this trauma from Gemstars back in the day - I spent a solid week marketing it, and got nowhere... I sense the same happening all over again - not that I am doomsaying... but, it seems hard to justify all this effort with no quantifiable feedback.

Let's hope the iPhone review sites like Slam!... then I may stop whinging so much :)
