How to make money with gaming apps

Statistics reveal that users are starting to prefer mobile apps over websites. Can you guess which type of apps users engage with the most, 'gaming apps'.

As a developer, I always come across the question: "How do you generate income from a mobile app?"
This question is more highlighted when it comes to 'gaming apps'.
Well folks, let's talk about all the ways that revenue can be generated from mobile apps. I'm gonna mention a few ways that come to my mind, feel free to contribute your ideas.

1. Provide premium features that users have to purchase in the mobile apps.
2. Provide game boosters like lives and coins that users can purchase to improve their gaming experience.
3. Launch a paid app (only do this if you really think that your app is worth spending money on).
4. Sell merchandise on your gaming app.
5. Run advertisements on your app for other companies (this is also called referral marketing).

What are your thoughts?
