Ask HN: What to do now - Go advertising or find sponsors?
Little bit info about this app and what we added since last show hn post:
- Game is popular as strategic two player board game and commonly known Bagh chal in Nepal or Tigers and Goats or Moving Tigers or Bagh Bakri in Indian subcontinents.
- My professor in university once said Japanese researchers are working on building a Baghchal based decision making systems.
- We have implemented single player mode with Minimax/AB pruning which you can test in site. [3]
- Our core motif with this app is to make our precious local game alive which was almost about to vanish.
On the business side, we have added ad platform and have plans to show ads in few pages in the website in near future. As a team lead this app holds a lot of value to me and my team. I suppose I can communicate this value to potential sponsors too. But, I am not sure whether to invest in advertising it further or go find sponsors.
When and how do you know that you could ask sponsors for your product ? Is it page-views alone that interests advertisers ? At present avg time / visitors is ~ 20 minutes.
