I just published a new extension, my first public one, a few days ago and very few ppl have tried it. I was wondering what others do to make ppl aware of their extensions.

you should start from here to everywhere. At lease paste your extension link.

My extension is called Silent Site Sound Blocker:


It allows you to whitelist / blacklist which sites can play sound, sortof like a firewall for audio.

Your question is now almost year old and it has now almost 12 thousands users. What have you used to achieve that?

I have published my extension last week Facebook Backup and I believe, that all users are my friends and family.

I have decided to quickly sell my extension instead of publishing it. It is pretty cool. Contact me if you are interested.

Hi, our new extension is Hexometer Tool
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hexometer-tool/hikinokpbcadaepfkacpnkhbdjfpfcgc

The Hexometer (HX) algorithm assigns each website a numeric value. That value is a particular website’s HX Rank calculated by a proprietary formula using public data about the domain name, the website's technical parameters and structure.

Our extension is SalesPath for Salesforce - It is a Salesforce CRM integration for LinkedInhttps://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/salespath-for-salesforce/gpnimaijbbdcdmdlacdmmahbhlnhhime?hl

If not using Salesforce, we do also have a 'Lite' version that just allows you to highlight text in Chrome and "Search LinkedIn" for the selected text here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/linkedin-search-tool-by-s/kokbkoplnhijphgicmiaobabjdhjimlb?hl

Would anyone be open to providing feedback, particularly on how we can boost awareness/weekly active users? (Both are free to use)...

Thanks in advance!
Craig

Hi,

Its really hard to promote an extension personally, and I thought the Chrome Store is a marketplace where people can really discover new ones. I have one where users can manage Tasks and daily Journaling needs, which I made my myself and thought might help others too. I want to share (without being imposing) and have people review it:

Do share your views here or my email avch...@gmail.com

Thanks for your email and the points. You are not wrong and I've been pushing it like selling insurance. I work on it so make is more useful and rich but also want to keep is generic so can be adapted by anyone. I have to find something better to solve then.

It's cool that you made this thing for your own needs; I've done that a lot myself.
But when it comes to sharing it with others, it's not clear from the name, screenshots, or description how this would be any better than any other "todo list / journal".
Simple tools like this are oversaturated across every app store, especially since code-along intro courses often have you build something like this while learning.
If you've shared it in a number of places as you've done here expecting more interest and it still hasn't caught a whole lot, that's probably the reason why.

I'd say also that this group isn't really appropriate for promoting your extensions. If everyone did that, the spam would drown out useful posts.

Good luck!
