1) Just like in other businesses, it is a competitive market.
2) However, it is also full of limitless opportunities. Google Play store helps you to reach worldwide end consumers. Only a few channels can do that with a frictionless payment system. Google Play store is one of them.
3) Since it is a highly competitive market, you need to know your niche and know who your targetted customers are very well. Then, we provide a solid solution to fit customer needs.
4) Play store tax is not a concern. Once you publish the app, the only main concern is how to market the app and how to pitch the app so that consumers will choose your app over the others.
5) With some luck, one will hit overnight success. But, the chance is rare. Most of the time, we need to invest a lot of resources, and success is not guaranteed.
1) We offer 1-time in-app purchases. The price tier ranged from $30.99 to $0.99 (We offer promo prices to users when they share the app with enough people)
2) We offer a monthly subscription model of $5 per month when the user requires better cloud storage to store their notes, image attachments, and voice recordings - https://www.wenote.me/cloud
3) Every 1-time in-app purchase comes with a 7-day free trial. After 7 days of the free trial, we provide an option for users to watch video ads in exchange for additional 2 days of the free trial.
4) We decide not to show banner ads/ full-screen ads. Even though it will make us earn less, it will provide a better user experience, gaining a better user retention rate and better app reputation.
First, we need to agree that "A great product will speak itself" is total BS.
But, in order to outpace millions of other apps in long run, we need to perform the following
1) ASO App store - So that our apps are searchable with the right keywords
2) Localization App store - So that our app can reach more users
3) A/B testing App store - So that we will find out what is the most effective graphics asset
4) Paid advertising - So that you will get real users
5) ... (other marketing activities)
As we can see, all the above activities require a substantial amount of money (We need to hire people with the right skill to complete the task or pay our ads network)
I think knowing how to spend the marketing money the right way, is the key to success in Google Play/ Apple App Store.
