Question
Besides getting businesses to advertise on the mobile app, how do these free mobile apps actually generate revenue?
Why would any business pay to be advertised on a mobile app that just started out and has no traction as of yet?
In addition, how much revenue does such a mobile app usually generate in a month?
App category that I'm referring to:
- gaming
- travel
- social
Answer
It depends on their business model. I have experienced some apps
a) just add on user base so that they can monetize the app as an asset . So they do not charge anything for the app or within the app
b) Some use advertisements within the app
