Explicitly ask the user, do you want to buy?
by Mehmet ÇetinI put the ad removal feature to Simple Budget Planner in the form of in-app purchases.
Even though I seen good number of installs in one week it was not converting. So, I released a new version and started to explicitly ask to the user "Do you want to buy?" after some usage with some frequency. If the answer is yes, I redirected them to the sales page.
I got my first sales after that. 🥳
The lesson here is I guess, explicitly ask your potential customer whatever you want him to do for you. Don't wait for her to find things herself. Explicitly ask.

100% of times that you don't ask for the sale - the sale doesn't happen! :) ABC - Always be closing (sales term). :)

Great tip really! As coming from a developer background, I definitely want to know more about sales.

This is amazing @manorie #hustle!
Would you mind sharing how big is your trial user base? And how's the conversion rate so far?
I'm also considering adding a premium version for my little project later on. Would love to hear your advice.
