8 years ago, making money with flash game is very easy. You just have to build a good game, post it on FGL and wait for sponsor bid your game for exclusive license. And you can sell it for $ 10,000 for 1 flash game you made less than a month. but now, since flash is kind of dead, it is not as easy as before. there is still some sponsor out there who will buy your flash game. but not as many as before.
HTML5 might be a good replacement for flash game. But, actually it is not. the market of html5 game is very small. but it doesn't mean you can't make money from it. Instead of exclusive license you did with flash game, html5 game market works better with non exclusive license. you can contact the sponsor directly, or put it on html5 game shop on FGL. to contact it directly, I suggest you to go to the forum at htmlgamedevs.com. in that forum you can find list of html5 game sponsor which you can sell your game to them, but you have to be the active member first. You have to write around 10 post to become active member.
You likely can get no more than $500 for non exclusive license, but you can sell it to many sponsor you like. So, if you able to get the deals from 10 sponsors, you can get $5,000 for that game. If you think that amount is small, you have to look at quality of the game first. Mostly, html5 game is just very simple game with single control like flappy bird.
The challenge of html5 game development is the performance of html5 game itself. Because of the main purpose of html5 game, which is can be played on mobile phone browser, the game should be as light as possible. You likely can't make a complex game at all, so your choice is make a simple but fun games.
In my opinion, make and sell html5 game still has a good opportunity in the market. while the android game market becomes too crowded. So, will you make and sell html5 game?
