In this tutorial I discuss a very important concept of how to find the right prince for your mobile apps. I discuss some of the merits of free apps which operate under the freemium business model. Then I discuss instances in which it makes sense to charge money for your app, and in each case I suggest approximate prices that make sense for certain instances.
If you are able to generate a lot of traffic from sources other than the mobile app stores like GooglePlay or Apple App Store, you can charge upfront for your app. But if you rely on the app store to bring you the bulk of your downloads, and do not have a great existing distribution channel, I strongly encourage you to make your app free.
The reason app entrepreneurs should consider making their apps free if they need to rely on the app stores for the bulk of their downloads is that unless the entrepreneur already has access to an existing strong distribution channel, the next best thing is to make the app competitive in app store searches by setting the app price to be free. Of course, as entrepreneurs, we want to charge a lot of money for our apps. But consumers want free apps, and unfortunately for app entrepreneurs, the app stores are full of free apps, and the consumer is trained that it is ok to always have everything free. This represents a big challenge when deciding on the right price for your app because what the app is worth, and the effort you put into creating your app is far more than you can charge for your app. It is unfair, but this is life in the app stores.
When deciding the right price for your app, and how much you should charge for it, if you do decide to make your app not free, you should lean towards cheaper pricing because if users feel that the app cost more than the value it brought them, they might give you a bad review, and that review may decrease future potential downloads.

✂️ Design, Decorate, and Do It Yourself: The Howto & Style Genre
The Howto & Style genre is a massive, practical, and highly visual category dedicated to instructing viewers on personal improvement, crafting, home decor, and aesthetic skills. These videos serve as highly accessible, free workshops for mastering life skills and cultivating personal style.
The Pillars of Practical Instruction 🎨
This genre thrives on the promise of transformation—showing viewers how to achieve a desired outcome, whether it's a perfect smoky eye, a renovated piece of furniture, or a delicious meal. It emphasizes clear, step-by-step guidance and visually appealing results.
Key Content Formats and Niches 💄
- Beauty and Makeup Tutorials: Step-by-step guides on applying makeup, skincare routines, product reviews, and mastering specific looks (e.g., bridal, special effects).
- Fashion and Outfit Lookbooks: Videos showcasing various outfits, styling tips, clothing hauls, and advice on building a capsule wardrobe.
- DIY and Crafting: Instructional content for creating objects, including knitting, painting, jewelry making, and repurposing old items. The emphasis is on budget-friendly creativity.
- Home Decor and Organization: Guides for interior design projects, decluttering strategies, room makeovers, and specific furniture builds or hacks.
- Cooking and Recipes: Detailed video recipes, culinary techniques, meal prep guides, and taste tests. This niche focuses on both the process and the delicious final presentation.
- Life Hacks and Productivity: Quick tips and tricks designed to simplify daily routines, save time, or improve efficiency in various aspects of life.
The Deep Appeal of Learning and Aspiration 💡
Howto & Style videos succeed because they offer viewers immediate, actionable knowledge that leads to tangible personal or environmental improvements. They appeal to the desire for competence, beauty, and efficiency.
Motivation Through Demonstration ✨
The visual nature of video is perfect for this genre, as seeing the exact placement of a makeup brush or the correct way to hold a saw is far more effective than reading the instructions. The final reveal (the "after") provides powerful motivation.
Why This Content Goes Viral 🚀
- Before-and-After: Videos featuring dramatic transformations (makeovers, room flips, restorations) generate immense interest and shareability.
- Accessibility: Using common, affordable tools or products makes the project feel achievable for the average viewer. "Five-Minute Makeup" or "Under $50 DIY" videos are highly popular.
- Inspiration: The content feeds the viewer's aspirational side, providing achievable goals for personal style or home aesthetic.
- Trust in the Expert: Viewers develop trust in creators who consistently deliver reliable results and practical, high-quality instruction.
Tips for Creating Top-Tier Howto & Style Videos ✍️
Success in this genre depends heavily on clear communication, polished aesthetics, and meticulous attention to detail during the demonstration.
Production Essentials for Instruction 📸
- Close-Up Clarity: Use tight, well-lit shots to show the crucial details of the process (e.g., the needle threading, the blending of eyeshadow, the cutting angle). The viewer must see exactly what the creator sees.
- Excellent Lighting: Lighting is non-negotiable, especially for beauty and home decor. Natural, bright light is best for showing true colors and textures.
- Voiceover and Pacing: Use clear voiceovers that narrate every step, but maintain a quick pace. Edit out any downtime or unnecessary waiting periods (like paint drying).
- Final Reveal: Always include a high-quality, well-framed shot of the finished product. This is the payoff for the viewer's time and serves as a compelling thumbnail image.
