After visiting Beijing and Shanghai, last year I fell in love with Mandarin Chinese and decided to make my own app for memorizing Chinese characters, since most apps in that niche were not good enough. It turned out that I wasn’t the only one who enjoyed it, so I started to offer, quite successfully, some in-app products in it. I’m going to tell this story in future articles, so for now let’s focus on its selling process.

When I decided to sell it (I had too much on my plate at the moment), it was a tough decision because somehow I felt attached to this app, which is quite unusual for me.

Anyway, the most obvious selling platform was Flippa. Since I hadn’t much time (I had an urgent flight from Chiangmai to Hong Kong at 6 am) I decided not to read any tutorials and just use my standard transparent and honest approach.

I wrote a story describing the reasons I made this app, what the buyer will get, and uploaded a bunch of screenshots with various stats.
