We have developed an app in Chinese. But faced with the fact that, firstly, China has no Google Play, and, secondly, the promotion of the apps is rather complicated. Maybe someone has experience of entering Chinese market:
1) On which Android app stores do we need to publish our app?
2) Are there any app review sites in China?
3) How to promote apps through Chinese social networks?
4) Are there any companies that offer app promotion on Chinese app market as a service?
5) Does it make sense to enter Chinese market at all?

if you plan distribute mobile games, it is OK for you to find a local partner for localization and distribution.
if utilities, pls abandon
I would like to know more about this topic to, after all, China covers 50% of the world revenue now

Found a new analytics site that Appannie has implemented into their system, seems to be asia based, worth adding, just did with mine

You said "analytics site" but Mobvista seems to be an advertising network, right? Is this the link you intended to post? I don't get it.

1. it'd be better to ask Chinese partners experienced in promoting apps in China market. For the first stage 1mobile.com might be considered
2. most probably, just language barrier persists for most of us
3. no idea yet
4. yes, we have started negotiations with a company, but it is in development stage
5. IMHO, Yes

Hi
Right now, in-app purchase is ok for our platform, But paid app still have trouble, the biggest problem is Android users in China really not used to paid first, Only iPhone users in China bought paid app, people using Android in China usually have lower income, one of reason they bought Android is using free app, even great game like Monument in China is free, But people got other way making money in China

Hi Guys,
I saw a lot of threads on the forum by which users could publish their apps for free on Play Store. But unfortunately, the members that were doing this are not active since a lot of time.
I am new to Android Development, and developed an Evolve Calculator for Pokemon GO, and wanted to publish it to Google Play Store, but unfortunately I don't have a credit card, and can't buy a Play Store Developer account.
So I wanted to ask, does Google give away free Developer Accounts to students, etc. Or would someone be kind enough to help me in getting a Play Store Account, or share one with me?
I am currently hosting a signed APK of my app on Google Drive, but i am not sure whether I should share it here or not.
Thanks in Advance

Can't really help you with the publishing (sorry!) but I'll say... don't worry too much about the APK.
The second you put anything on the Play Store, whether free or paid, it becomes available on a couple dozen mirrors and piracy websites. Where are you from? I'm sure there are prepaid credits cards that you can use without a bank account in your country, and getting your own developer account (with the ability to update your apps whenever you want) is REALLY recommended.

I bought the developer account, and hosted my app. Will make a Post on XDA as well, when I reach 10 posts. As far as pirated copies are concerned, I found none on the internet, I don't know whether thats insulting or what

Well then congratulations on your first published app
They usually start popping out when you emerge in any category, like Top New X or very deep in the Trending rankings. It's all done by bots anyway, rarely the APK ends up on websites that bring some traffic (which can be useful if you integrate ads, and some of them might want to download the "real" updated version).

Well, I had high hopes for the app, and hopefully it will do good. As far as Ads are concerned, I will integrate them next year, I am not eligible for AdSense or Merchant Account yet

Well considering that your app is about Pokemon Go, your users like games which means that you can integrate pretty much any interstitial ad network and not just AdMob

I will see whether I will integrate them or not. Most probably not, I myself don't like ads, and I think others also hate them. As far as making money is concerned, I am not interested that much into it. I just the app to perform well
You could try free stores like: Opera, Amazon, Aptoide.
Just search for mobile marketing forums. There must be people who want!
