Any tips on how to boost MQL5 Market sales and visibility?

 

Hey all,

I'm a pretty experienced MQL5 developer and have built some solid indicators and semi-automated systems that work really well. The problem is — I'm not that great at the sales and marketing side of things.

I’ve published a few products on the MQL5 Market, but they’re not getting much visibility. I’m trying to understand how the platform works in terms of rankings and exposure.

  • Is there some kind of algorithm that decides which products get shown at the top of search results?

  • What actually helps with visibility — reviews, comments, demo downloads, regular updates?

  • Are there smart ways to promote your tools outside the MQL5 site — like Telegram, YouTube, or blog traffic — and do those have any effect inside the MQL5 Market?

  • And how do people even get those first few sales or reviews without already being known?

Would love to hear from anyone who’s had success selling there. I’m great at coding, just not so much at selling. Any tips or lessons would be awesome.

Thanks!

Do you sell something on the Market? Are you signal provider? So, just some links about promotion:

MQL5 Widget

Sergey Golubev, 2013.06.23 11:51

I installed widget (Top Signals) for my google blog in easy way using this link for example so everybody can do it (widget for some particular signal or signals, or widget for some broker). I did not place it on some other websites because I am not a signal provider and I am not market vendor. But I think that google blogs' promotion as a widget  (together with simple promotion using facebook, twitter and google+) are fully enough to get some subscribers/clients.

But if some signal provider (or Market vendor) wants to get many subscribers/clients so it may be necessary to go to more quick way - go to the other Metatrader forums to promote your signal or product in direct way - just my experience.

It's allowed. I've gone through this and verified it with the admins. Generally, the other forum must have a Commercial sub-forum to post in.

You can promote your products on other forums if it is allowed, it is not allowed to do so in this forum.
