With a free app you have to have your monetization in before launch. But this is a great platform to launch other apps from. Apps even next to a popular free app get more visibility/discovery. Many companies launch a free app designed solely for users to help drive pay app usage. Donation is probably the only option as advertising for those areas aren't as high in payout. Don't be sad by the letdown you will get from donation though, it is always way lower than expected. Ad supported apps also don't really get that much money. The only successful app strategy is to have quality apps and as many as you can support with quality levels.
