How to Sell your iPhone App
So you’ve got an amazing app all ready to be posted to Apple for approval. How do you present it so that people will buy them?
Simple.
Include as many meaningful screenshots as you can.
Show screens which users actually use.
I don’t read the text, to be honest. With so many apps in the App Store, I just scroll down, look at the screenshots and if they look interesting, I scan the text. If that is interesting, then I buy it.
If I can’t make out what the app is about I don’t bother downloading it even if it is free.
In this digital age, the most important commodity is time.
Save your audience time by communicating clearly – pictorially as well as textually – your app’s offerings and if it fits their needs, they will buy it.

Hi Aleph, no worries! In this day and age of Web 2.0, there is no wrong way of contacting anyone. It would be great if you could put some text information on the page you sent me and some pictures too. I don’t have that web player and it would be a deterrent for most people to download it just to view what your app is about.
Congrats on launching your first game! 
I will have a peek at it in the App Store.
Cheers,
Christina
