How to make money from a news app?

1 pointFahadUddin922 comments

I plan to launch a daily newspaper app in a 3rd world country that shows news in an app. The profitability from ads is very low in such countries and users don't pay for such apps so app needs to be free. How to make a good amount of money from it?

Join an excellent ads service, and cater based on what those ad services align towards. As in taking their offers based on what they're selling, and matching them up to your news articles. So science, caters your ads based on the articles. Tech -you do the same. Also sell subscription services if you charge say $2, per subscriber you still build a base for overhead. You might want to be an ebay affiliate, one good place to start.

I am thinking to embed an ecommerce store with it and partner with an ecommerce company for helping with sales.
