There is a great article that gives you a cheap way to make your own app on E StartUp Magazine. It's in the Fall 2011 Issue on page 48. It's called "Going Mobile without going broke". I really like it because it breaks it down on how easy it is to make an app and how much money to expect to spend on one.

This magazine is free on iPhones and iPads. It's awesome to read. Also, if you are a service-connected disabled veteran, and you need guidance on how to start your business, you can apply to the Entrepreneur Bootcamp for Veterans. It's a great program that is COMPLETELY FREE to the veteran. You can apply any time of the year and they will let ask you which time of the year you would be able to attend. I am a graduate of the program and it really was worth it. Because of it, I saved thousands of dollars, and I have a lot of mentors that are just a phone call away. All this is FREE. Here is the link in case you want to check it out. You can also find it on YouTube to get an idea of what it is.

Christopher: I am unsure if this is helpful, but here are a few ideas:

The Service Corp of Retired Executives is a great resource for entrepreneurs and small businesses. SCORE has a chapter in Albany, and SCORE offer both local and remote mentoring.

Here are general articles regarding app marketing. The Google ads that show up might also be interesting.
