Tips For Selling Mobile App Source Code

Mobile Apps are currently the most popular trend in the software market. Every idea that exists, solution that gets created, or business that gets founded needs a mobile app in today’s market.

Which is why a great deal of software developers work solely on Mobile App Development. This means that there are currently a myriad of mobile apps in the global market, too many to be counted even.

For the developer of the source code, each single mobile app that has been developed gets delivered to the respective company and then the source code never gets used again.

In a very saturated market that is currently encouraging re-use, this is considered in less technical terms as wasteful.

Which is why the PieceX team encourages developers to re-use and sell their Mobile App Source Code to both monetize their work and benefit the software community.

In order to do that, there are a few things that need to be considered, so here are some tips on how to sell your mobile app source code.

Keep App Resale Legality in Mind

First, it is important to note the legality of selling the source code you have developed IF you have developed it for a business or a company.

In most cases, you need to make sure that you have a customizable base code, which you can later resell, before optimizing it entirely for the company you are working for.

You don’t have to spend a lot of time worrying about legality, just keep it in mind, secure yourself, and you’ll be good to go!

In cases by which the mobile app is actually yours, you can feel free to sell it as you so please without having to worry about legality.

Create Good Documentation

It is very important to create good documentation for your mobile app source code. This means giving it a name to distinguish it from other mobile app source codes (not just “restaurant system” but an actual name), creating a good user guide that includes all the important notes of usage, how to implement, how to customize, how to use, the languages it supports, etc..

It is also very important to create a detailed list of features, this way other software developers or business managers would look through it to see if it includes all the things that they need in their mobile application source code.

You must also make it easily customizable and readable and your documentation should reflect that. So make it clear how a software developer or a user can customize the application to add/remove features and change frontend to be suitable for their brand.

This takes us to our next point, offering constant support.

Offer Constant Support

Ideally, all the source code you listed is perfect code with a perfect user guide that does not need any external help for it to work.

However, a lot of the time, people who purchase mobile app source code need help with the customization process, debugging, feature installment, and other relevant services. In order to have a higher chance at successfully selling your mobile app source code, It is very important to be constantly available to provide support services (paid) to the buyer.

If the buyer feels like they won’t just buy mobile app source code but they will also have the available option to ask you questions, inquire, and get your help, they would be much more trusting and comfortable to buy your mobile app source code.

You can also opt to offer extended support plans. This way you can give the buyer the chance to pay you for time-based support where they would ask you for specific tasks as per approved by the plan that you put down.
