Earning some money / monetization with indie games development

Off topic

Hello guys.
Just wanted to ask your fellings abut it.
Lets suppose you create some little funny game , it is bugs free and it accomplishes with all sharing platform requests … so it is ready to go.
Where would you share it ?
What are the chance to earn some money ?
Is there any real example to share ?
Thanks.

I’d try itch.io because it’s easy to share and setup

And if the game has more content then I’d push it on Steam.

On both cases, chances to make money (more than a few 100s) is quite low. https://www.quantumrun.com/consulting/steam-game-statistics/

I’ve seen most indie devs having success with platforms like Poki or CrazyGames.

Check the Colyseus js website, and indie dev Reddit forums there are some good success stories there.

Poki, Crazy Games, PlayHop/Yandex Games, Game Distribution, Coolmath Games.

Also you can self publish it. Web is pretty good for ua. You just need a good game and monetization.

PS Itch.io didn’t work for me, i just got 100 or so visits…

a game is just a web site, right? so purchase domain, start ad compaign, add monetization like ad mob or something for rewarded video.

I think hordes.io is the good example how you can earn money with in-app purchases + ad.
