Guys, need opinion!

I am an indie dev, a student (still in school), trying to think of ways to earn with just my laptop, internet, and programming skills, any ways as part of my journey I have developed several apps, now as an indie creator with practically no capital, and just reddit and facebook for marketing, should one explore this world of selling apps, your opinion and tips are highly valued so please do comment

P.S I have linked the types of apps I have that I could set up of sale, if you have any feedback on it, do tell https://muhammadj.gumroad.com/l/wifipassfinder

All I can really offer is if there are reviewers who review your kind of thing, watch their reviews of similar products, look for what they highlight as really good or bad, and then do what you can to make sure your stuff gets a good review. Then contact the reviewers and offer them a gratis copy in return for an honest review. If you get a good review, that can generate word of mouth that can get you a little momentum.

That's what I'd do if I were starting on your journey. I don't know whether it's a good suggestion or not. Maybe others will come along and offer better.

That is actually a very good suggestion, in fact I have also tried this, if any others are viewing this here are the two main drawbacks with such plans: firstly its a very good idea and companies have bots who just spam these creators so youtube has a policy where you can only view a limited number of creator emails in a day, secondly again cuz of the spam your mail might not get seen by these creators or ignored

Anyways I appreciate the suggestion, thx
