i was wondering what would your recommendation be how to launch a new mobile game? how to get first users?

At the very beginning I think you basically have to pay for promotion like ads‌ in Apple and Google stores, some video/graphic ads may be a good idea as well‍

thanks for your input
are you a mobile developer your self?

You can use an app monetization platform to carry these tasks for you, but from‌ what I understand they require 20%-50% royalty fee

Games are very different from apps in general. I'm assuming you're talking about a mobile‌ game.

Highly targeted ads on social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Reddit work well in‍ this space), including working directly with influencers for sponsorship spots. Depends on who your target⁠ audience is. Hire a social media marketing manager (internal or outsource/agency).

Have a referral program⁤ where players can invite friends in exchange for some in-game reward.

What’s an app monetization platform? Do you‌ have an example?

Nope, I'm working with ads to promote such apps.

Start from here: Mobile App⁠ Monetization - Google AdMob
and here: Promote an App with Basic - Help - Apple⁤ Search Ads
