If it was, everyone would be rich. So, how do successful apps become successful?

What can you do to ensure that your app makes money?

If you have pondered these questions yourself, read on and plan carefully.

Here, we will reveal the answers to that mysterious question.

How do apps make money: a guide to getting you started on building your own successful app business.

Ads are not Your Enemy
While it may seem logical that the easiest way to make money with your app is to charge for each download, it actually isn’t so simple.

People love to get things for free, and they always look for the best free apps before choosing to pay for one.

A much better strategy is to offer your app for free, but place ads within it.

Apps make a lot of money on ads, especially is your app is one where users will spend a good deal of time listening to something, watching videos or interacting in some way, like with gaming apps.

There are plenty of advertising companies that you can work with who will pay per click or impression.

You do need to use this strategy wisely, however. Ads can be intrusive and annoying if there are too many of them or if they’re irrelevant.

You need to understand your audience and choose ads that will interest them.

You also need to consider the placement of the ads you use in your app.

Make Use of the Right Monetization Strategies
There are plenty of different monetization strategies if you aren’t too keen on ads.

Some of the most effective ones include offering in-app purchases, where users can buy extra items that will help them gain a higher status in the app. This is especially effective with gaming apps.

You can also offer subscription and upgrade options. With these types of monetization strategies, a person will be offered exclusive items or access that free users don’t have the advantage of using.

If your app offers something special and unique, subscriptions and upgrade options can be incredibly effective ways of monetizing your app.
