4 Tips On How and Where to Sell Your Apps

Where and how to sell your apps are two growing unknowns due to the growing use of smartphones and mobile devices. Marketing with applications is a new business modality already present in the market. This weekly Goshainclude blog will show you how and where to sell these apps.

How To Sell Your Apps? 

There are several ways to sell your apps and generate money thanks to the development of applications, so we have to choose the one that benefits the app the most and best suits the proposed objectives:

Here are some ideas on how to sell your apps and make a profit from them:

•    Payment model: it is the most common and used way. It consists of uploading the application to the store and charging for each download. To do this, we have to provide functionalities or valuable content for which the user is willing to pay, so it is advisable to offer a good experience and apply it only to well-developed apps.

•    Freemium: : users can download it for free and get extra features by making small payments. This way, it is easy to download and get the user to try the functionalities. In this way, they will be more likely to make a disbursement on the app since they already know it first-hand.

•    In house: they are custom-developed applications for business environments, such as a CRM, which may not be successful if you target a niche outside the scope, but will be in demand by the sector as long as it is useful and simplifies processes.

•    Subscription:the application is free to download, but a fee must be paid periodically to enjoy its services or functionalities. This is the case with Netflix, Spotify, and most content platforms.

•    Advertising: another way to sell within an app is the inclusion of ads and publicity, making your app an advertising medium in which you will generate income based on the number of visits, purchases, or views that these advertisements obtain.

Experts recommend combining several models to optimize your app's income. However, it is not advisable to do so in applications that involve a cost to download since the user expects a comprehensive service through this payment, with all the functionalities and without the inclusion of ads.

Where to Sell Your App?
