In my previous articles, I told you how to make money with your independent game. If you haven't read them,you can read first one or you can read the second one here!

In this article, We will talk about 3 different ways; selling your indie game, selling dlc of your indie game and delegating game rights to someone else
to make money with you. In my previous articles, I mentioned to you that you can earn money by adding in-App purchase to your game, adding advertisement, putting your indie game at flash game websites and putting your game in itchio. In this article I will talk about other ways. If you're ready, shall we start?

Selling Your Indie Game

You made an indie game. The best known way to make money from this indie game is to sell the indie game. In any application market, game hosting sites like steam, epic games and itchio etc. You can put a price on your game and sell your game easily. I am still one of those who think that it is not reasonable to sell games without creating a certain audience.

Selling DLC of your Indie Games

Let's say you have a good game. It is played by a lot of people. You can make some additions to this game and sell it as Dlc package. In this way, people who love your game give more experience. You can create a Dlc with a few map plugins, new animations, sound effects to your game. In this way, you will keep your bone mass and also make money by dynamizing your game.

Delegating Game Rights to Someone Else

If you do not want to deal with things like selling the game you have made, adding ads to the game, creating a DLC, you can transfer your game rights to others if you want to receive money as soon as possible. Although this method seems reasonable to make money as soon as possible, no one can tell if your game will make a bigger profit on the market. However, if you don't want to deal with tiring details, you can delegate the rights of your game to someone else or to companies.

In this series, I explained to you how you can make money from your indie games. These narrations happened without going into much detail, by talking about the methods. If there is a demand, I can write in my next articles in a more descriptive and detailed way. See you in the next articles.
