You can use one of four main business models when marketing apps for Nokia phones. All of the models, except the free download model, can lead directly to revenue generation.
The models are:
1. Free download, ideal for supporting a separate business model.
2. Paid download.
3. In-app advertising (can apply to free downloads and with care to paid downloads).
4. In-app payment (can apply to paid or free downloads).
Paid downloads continues to be the model most commonly used to monetize apps. Using this model, you set a price that users must pay to download the app, with revenue being shared by you and the store. The Nokia Developer Distribute section contains detail on pricing, revenue share, and other considerations for this model.
The in-app advertising and in-app payment model are, however, playing an increasingly large role for many developers, and Nokia has introduced solutions for both. You can find out more about these solutions in this section.
