44. Content.
This category is probably most familiar to
everyone. When it comes to content,
people are willing to pay for ebooks, music,
and movies. In addition to purchasing, a
lot of content can be rented temporarily,
like streaming a movie.
Spotify
Netflix
Amazon ebooks
45. Consumable apps.
These are apps that are used and then finished. An
example is a game with a fixed set of levels, once
each level has been completed the game is “done”
and has been consumed.
Temple Run
Angry Birds
Talking Tom
Subway Surfer
46. Apps as a Service.
Just like software as a service there are
apps that provide a service. Sparrow was a
great example of this type of good, it was a
service that the user used as an app on
their phone. Things is another example.

47. Additional in-app items or
functions.
In many apps one of the new revenue drivers is to
provide additional functionality, game pieces, or
features for a fee. An example of this is the additional
brushes you can buy in Paper’s app.

strategies:
•Free app with advertisements or sponsorship
•Free app with in-app purchases for one-time
items/functions
•Free app with in-app recurring subscription
•Paid apps (and there are all sorts of hybrids of this
model, like a free “lite” app that entices users to
upgrade to the paid version, or a paid version without
advertisements, etc.)

•for ongoing maintenance and improvements.

•Have a presence outside of the app store.
•Drive ratings and reviews for your app.
•Remove friction.
•Pick an appealing price point.
•Leverage promotions.
