People ask how to get more exposure on @itch.io, and "bundles" is one answer.
If you wonder how much they can raise your traffic, this is the Free RPG weekend bundle with 2 of my games.

While the bundle was free, people still paid - not making my rent exactly, but it sums up, even at the 1% or so you often get in bundles.
Naturally, this was a bundle by an active pair of creators, results will vary.

What Steam’s big demo update means for your marketing strategy – How To Market A Game

Hello Mastodon 👋

I'm a Swede with a passion for the games industry and hobby photography. When I'm not looking at/playing/talking about games or to the people that make them, you can find me spending time with my very energetic K9. I'm excited to connect with fellow people who make games or, as I do, have the privilege to facilitate the success of games developers on a daily basis.

Keeping my fingers crossed that Mastodon can be a friendly and helpful place to call home 🤞

Never hesitate to hit me up for a conversation about games publishing or games marketing
