3 Tips From Twitter on Monetizing Your Mobile App

Once developers have determined they’re allowed to monetize their app (they may not be allowed to, depending on the content APIs their app utilizes), Twitter suggested they ask themselves three questions about their app to determine the best monetization strategy:

• Can you just charge people for [the app] outright?
• Are you selling anything, be it physical goods, in-app purchases or subscriptions?
• Do you have a good place to put ads in your app?

To decide whether or not to charge for an app, Twitter said developers can charge for apps that provide a solution to a problem users have, which would encourage them to make a purchase.

Meanwhile, for developers looking to sell products within their apps, Twitter suggested utilizing end-to-end solutions for tracking inventory, managing payments and POS systems.
