I have a couple of profitable apps in the affiliate and dating space that I am looking to sell. I looked at Flippa and EmpireFlippers. But found them to be specialised mostly in websites.

Are there any better ways to flip apps?
 
Sellmyapp is a good option but FYI flippa has 40% apps and games sellers.
 
When it comes to apps, unless your app is (or apps are) quite established, no one would buy them, as they would rather create apps on their own instead of buying.
Yes, its quite easy to create apps these days. However, ASO and organic traffic still remain a challenge. In my case, most of my apps have atleast over a million downloads, add atleast 10k new users organically everyday and are quite profitable. However, I am looking to retire and hence looking to sell.

Acquiring 10k users from tier 1 countries itself would cost about $3000-5000 everyday. If there are not many organic users or an already existing user base, as you said, there is not much of a reason to buy an existing app.

I am not saying its not possible to build ASO or organic traffic. I am sure many here will be able to do that. But it might take time. So its a choice of build over time and wait for results or buy now and enjoy immediate results.

Posting on BHW and asking how to sell it
I was hoping that someone would have faced a similar situation and might have good reviews for ways to exit businesses.
 
I'd say go to Flippa but I hate them.
 
Facebook groups. There's a lot of them out there.
 
You can use the eBay and Facebook market place which are known to the maximum users

I don't know if someone suggested but motioninvest.com is pretty awesome.
They will personally make a valuation of your website and if it qualifies they will offer you two options:
Either buy it straight away from you or you get a listing on their platform. Hope it helps!

Hmm

Hmm, the Facebook marketplace does not allow you to sell digital products/websites/services...
At least from my experience they always rejected such items with warnings and I even got banned one time.
I had to send 10 emails to get it back. Almost got in contact with Mark personally :p

It's actually really expensive to get a good app coded
 
I too have some apps in dating category on playstore but struggling with ranking and organic install. I was wondering if you will help me a little.
Thanks
 
If you are willing to deal I may buy your app portfolio. I'm also starting DigitalBusinessBrokers.com which will have a team that specializes in apps. And I can connect you to a good broker as well. But, I'd love to make an acquisition if you're interested.

By that logic nobody would buy anything. Why buy a logo or an article? Both are way easier to create than an app. Why buy a website? Easier than an app.

I don't see why an app wouldn't sell unless it had nothing new or interesting to offer.
