Hey everyone, we just released an insanely long and detailed guide to marketing an indie game. This guide covers several strategies to marketing an indie game from gaining initial visitors on your site to building a list of email subscribers you can contact when you go on Kickstarter, Itch, or release your game.

Here's a link to the article:
Ultimate Guide to Marketing an Indie Game Before Release

This is only the first version of the article. Let me know if there's anything you'd like to see added. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Thanks for reading!

Thanks I really need some help with marketing, not many have seen my game yet.

The important thing is to not overwhelm yourself with trying to market (then you have less time to focus on your game). I'd say start with Reddit and just show off your game. If you have time make a short dev log weekly or bi-weekly and promote that where you can. Also don't forget about #screenshotsaturday (you'll always get a couple likes from that hashtag on Saturdays).

Thanks for reading the article!

Ohh I have forgot about the saturdays screenshot, does all use #screenshotsaturday for game screenshot?

Yep I would say that a lot of high profile and low profile game devs use #screenshotsaturday.  I would say it's best to try to post once in the morning if you can and then again in the evening (these times are generally when most people are active).

Great advice, thanks!

Cool Guide : ] 
I've been having a hard time getting things seen haha.  Always nice to see detailed stuff.
