We are in the middle of a worldwide transformation, where more and more people are switching from being offline and disconnected to being constantly connected.
The mobile industry is growing fast, with a total of 3.6 billion unique mobile subscribers at beginning of 2015.
Basically, half of the world’s population has a mobile subscription. One more billion subscribers are expected by 2020, increasing the global penetration rate to about 60%.
With more than 3 billion active internet users, there are more than 2 billion active social media accounts, of which 1,6 billion are active mobile social accounts (source).
With all these big numbers, it’s clear that there is a lot of money on the mobile industry table.
Building your first mobile app can be a challenging experience and the marketing or selling process is even harder.
Marketplaces are the best source for apps developers to make things easier. These places give big opportunities to make money by buying or selling mobile app source codes. With many mobile marketplaces available online, there’s one I particularly suggest: SellMyApp.

A Fantastic Guide for How to Create and Market Apps
The team at SellMyApp has crafted an ultimate guide (published on their blog) for learning how to create an app and make big money on the App stores.
Their comprehensive guide offers insights on:
- what you need to develop a successful app
- how to set your goals when it comes to app development
- how to run a niche research to find out what really works
- how to find and purchase high-quality sources code
- how to discover what is a good app design
- how to reskin your source code, saving time and money
- ways to make money from your app
- how to launch and market your app
- how app store work
In these 10 fantastic chapters, you are going to find everything you need to enter the app world and reach success.
I particularly enjoyed the “marketing” section, where, among other concepts, are well explained the cost per install, ratings & reviews system, social media and viral loop (more on viral loop and app marketing on this SocialMediaExaminer post).
If you need an inspiration, just think of the Candy Crush Saga case study, mentioned in the guide. I’m sure you probably have heard of this app and, with high probability, you have tried the game (you may even be a “slave” of this funny app). Well, this game has been incredibly successful at tempting players to invite their friends (the easier way through Facebook) to request help, like extra lives and in-game goodies.
The result? This game is the most downloaded app for iOS ever!

Hi Erik,
Thank you for sharing this and am really please with the content. Me and my team have been looking for a finding a reputable source code. Finding a better way to market the apps once designed is key.
Adam says
Erik this is a great article. Almost every developer has some source code or an app stashed away that they could sell. Developers often forget how much their code could solve other people’s problems (and therefore get them to pay)
Jack says
I have been developing mobile apps since decade and have seen many source code market places around. After reading your article, I tried reviewing the source code available at this place and found it really interesting.
I will definitely give it a try.

Thank you for writing a detailed review about Sellmyapp as we have been using them since last 2 years and very much happy with their source codes and services. The first time I learned about this website from digifloor post and tried all different marketplaces mentioned there. After burning hands with some so called big brand, I ended up using sellmyapp and highly recommend the same.
