We all know that the more views our game gets, the more $$$ we make. But how? That is the question. Well, thanks to a new tool, uDemon.com, it is quite easy for developers to do so.
Developers can upload/submit their game(s) to this website and wait for the distribution magic to begin. Publishers can either play games on the website, rate them and comment on them. If they like your game they also have the ability to put it on their own website, generating you more views. The website is still in Beta version but it is worthwhile to try it out.
Thanks, I hope this website helps all of you!

Hello!
Hello my fellow flash game developers,
As we all know, developing flash games is a fun and great way to not only learn new things but to earn money. However, once we get past the "Yes! I'm finished!" part of developing games, we get to the "How should I monetize my game?"
Well, that's a good question. First of all, It depends on how good your game idea is, how good your graphics are and how much gamers will enjoy your game. In general there are two ways to earn money with flash games: Sponsorships and In-Game Ads. Both are very rewarding if they are applied properly.
Games can be sponsored for $50 or even a couple thousand if they are worth it. Sponsors sponsor games because they want to bring traffic to their website. Essentially, they are looking for an addicting game with great graphics and a great replayablility factor. Once you get a bid, its up to you to decide whether its fair or not. Judge your game as if you were a player.
In game ads are a good way for beginners to earn money. It is very easy to get your games accepted into various ad networks. You will be surprised at the amount of money you'll make within the first week of the game being released (This also depends on the quality of your game). However, you should expect your earnings to drop after your game is taken off of the "new releases" section on many websites.
The best way to figure out what is better for you is to try it out with some games. Many different people have very different opinions on game monetization and I invite all game developers here to share their experiences.
Thanks
