Ask HN: Android Market App Sales Experiment

I published my first app to the market about a month ago meeting only the minimal image and text resources required.

Now I'll be adding the optional media resources and testing out basic marketing techniques(disclaimer: I know nothing about marketing) to tracking sales improvements. I'll then post back the results if people are interested after each test.

I was wondering if anyone had any techniques or theories they would want me to try out?

Some of the ideas I'll be covering early on: * Creating the optional image assets that the market place supports on my own(no design background). * Creating a simple promotional video myself. * Telling friends, posting on my personal social accounts. * Working on driving traffic through SEO to the web based version of the app(hourweather.com). * Getting the logo or other assets created professionally(probably through 99designs to try that out). * Paid advertising(Google ad words $100 voucher). * Maybe try some more shady SEO, social stuff?
