In 2022, there were 307 million smartphone users in the US, and the number is continuously growing, so if you’ve ever wanted to develop an app, the time is now!

Creating an app is a complex process that requires creativity, patience, and a lot of hard work. But once you’ve developed a product, the next step is to consider how you will profit from it. 

You can monetize your application in many ways, so you must choose the right way for your product and audience. We’ve gathered several great monetization strategies to help you get started! Read on and find the best deal for your app.

Set a Download Fee

The first thing you need to decide is if you want your app to be free to download or if you need to set a download fee. 

Think about your expenses and how much money you would like to collect from downloads so it would bring you profit. 

Also, you can ask users to purchase your app and use additional revenue services to maximize your earnings! You can adapt many monetization strategies to help you make more money for your app.

When making this decision, think about the end user. If you’re marketing to a luxury audience, a paid app can be a great angle and vice versa. 

Decide what consumers you want to reach with your app and think about setting a download fee that fits your audience’s expenses.

Integrate Proxy SDK

You can integrate a proxy SDK in your app to get additional revenue at no cost. It’s a popular way to increase your revenue and offer more benefits to your users!

A good example is Honeygain SDK. You can integrate it into your app for free and get up to $1,000 per 10,000 MAU. 

It differs from advertising SDK as it doesn’t interfere with your users’ experience and silently runs in the background of your users’ devices. The only data your users provide to the Honeygain SDK is their IP address and internet traffic for public web scraping.

Also, Honeygain SDK is available in over 150 countries, so it’s a great monetization option for all international digital products. You can even integrate it into TV operating systems, IoT devices with networks, and many others.

Consider using proxy SDK if you have a broad base of app users and want to monetize your reach. It’s an easy way to earn additional revenue for free and upgrade your app to the highest standards.

Use In-App Advertising

In-app advertising is one of the most popular ways to get revenue for your free app. There are a few different kinds of in-app advertisements, and you can choose what best fits your own product. 

You can integrate full-screen video ads or just visual banners at the ends of the screen. It depends on the content you show in your app and what will agitate the user less.

Also, you can use ads to give rewards to your users! Rewards for ads are a popular way to get people to watch paid content for special in-app boosts and premium rewards. 

You can easily implement ads into your free app using platforms like Google AdMob. You just have to register your product on the website, and it takes care of the rest.

This strategy is most commonly used in gaming apps to generate revenue, but you can implement this income stream in any app. Integrate apps in your product to make money for your work, but be careful not to overdo it and annoy your users!

Create a Subscription Model

Another great strategy for earning money is implementing a subscription model called freemium. The freemium strategy offers the app and basic features for free and then encourages users to upgrade to a premium version.

The most simple example is YouTube. You can watch videos for free and find all your favorite YouTubers, but you can also get a premium subscription and watch all the content for free. 

Just keep in mind that not all of your users can afford to pay for your services and can get frustrated. Plan for it in advance and prepare to deal with some negative reviews or comments if they come to light.

Consider implementing a freemium strategy in your digital product if you want to give your users more autonomy in their experience. 

Add In-App Purchases

The gaming industry loves to use the in-app purchase monetization model. It allows users to purchase rare objects and in-game items for real money. 

The key to success is making the items irresistible to your players. Then, they’ll be tempted to pay to purchase it to advance in their gameplay.

This can also be a challenge as not all players can afford to spend money on games or are under the age limit to own a credit card. 

Think about your target audience when you develop your app, and consider adding in-app purchases if it feels right. Monetize your app and build a product you’re proud of.

Choose the Best Strategy for Your App

The key to monetizing digital products is tailoring your strategy to your audience. For example, teens don’t usually have credit cards, so they won’t be paying for your services as much as you’d like. 

So, think about implementing a proxy SDK that will pay you for the number of users and won’t require any user purchases. Also, consider using in-app advertising to make money from users of a wide age range.

On the other hand, if you’ve created a luxury application for working professionals, you can encourage them to subscribe to premium features, set a download fee, or implement in-app purchases. 

Lastly, use multiple monetization strategies to maximize your earnings and grow a business you’ve always dreamed of.
