7 Mobile Game Monetization Mistakes to Avoid
These 7 mistakes cost publishers thousands in lost revenue. Are you making any of them?
1. Ignoring Non-Paying Users
95% of your users will never pay, but they can still generate revenue through offerwalls and rewarded ads. Read how to monetize non-payers.
2. Only Using One Ad Format
Diversify: IAP + offerwall + rewarded video. The hybrid approach generates 30-50% more revenue.
3. Accepting Low Revenue Share
If you are getting less than 65% rev share, you are leaving money on the table. RewardingHub offers 70%.
