[Journey] Road To 2,000€/Month Making Android Apps

[Aegon]

Any updates mate?

I have been too lazy this week, no motivation no productivity or whatsoever however i was able to work on a new app, I will post this week revenue on Sunday with my future plan and how will i adapt to my goal. These two last days will be dedicated into learning flutter framework only.

Did you buy your ASO Tools or just using free versions , AppAnnie and MobileAction, they are expensive which plan did you get? can I do ASO without these tools? I tried bringing traffic using Jarvee it works to get some downloads but I as wondering if I can post my link to reddit?

Second Week

I have one published app this week, reskinned from a template with simple modifications, however, I spent the week developing another app, it's 90% ready to publish I will get back to it tomorrow or so, I've concluded that it's impossible to make apps from scratch and still produce 3-4 apps a week, I thought I could do it but I was wrong, so from now on I will be making apps based on templates.

This week's income are the same, however, I noticed a drop considering I have higher traffic, I also had to lower down interstitial displays in my main app due to an Admob alert, so earning dropped from 1€-1.6€ to 0.5-0.8 €. but income is the same thanks to other apps.

Expenses: 0€
Income: 18€

No free, or use trials, i use appannie for research, yes it's possible to do ASO without these tools, with Adwords keywordplanner & suggestion tool, but the data provided is web based, try to familiaries yourself with an aso tool, in here you can find a bunch with comparison http://www.businessofapps.com/, I don't know anything about social media links never tried and never will. Good Luck

Apparently, No one is interested in this journey but I'll keep updating anyway.
I don't know where to start but apparently, Google will f* u no matter what, I've got 2 consecutive suspends, for deceptive behavior which is a rule I honestly did not try to break. even when you whitehat, you have no idea when will google play hide and seek with you, with two suspends my account is at risk now . I did appeal but I don't think it will change anything.

We have been waiting for updates mate! What does deceptive behaviour mean? I am sure it's gonna be ok.

 

[bfftalk]

Is there 1st and 3rd application are looking same ? You have received any mail that why they suspend application. Also there is one rule are trending for App Build In minimum API 26. Following your journey.. best of luck pal.

Lot of people is interested, of course
I am sorry to hear about suspended apps, especially if you tried to do it in clean way. Unfortunately google can and will do that, so as apple, and appeal will not change anything.
I have suspended my original created game 2 years ago, because in description there was words "angry birds", I mean there was written ".. and hero have to avoid those angry birds flying around...".
Google suspended that game after a week. I appealed but of course they don't give a f.... about my appeal .
That proves, that now, it is too dangerous to put months of work in game, as google can destroy it in minutes!
Good luck and keep working, take some actions to be safe and diversified!

I have a theory, Big G employees are watching this thread and others, they get to see your earnings and they match and suspend apps that way, or maybe you are putting ads interstitial without the guidelines provided for pause for example... but anyway they have long history of people doing ad mob frauds and their machine learning algorithm might just have put you in the same category as others (clustering, KNN..) can't you contact them ?

it means misleading the user by giving an impression different from the true one, i wish but i'mon the edge of an account termination.

No they are totally different apps, yes ,but i the deceptive behavoius thing is not clear enough.

Good luck, keep testing im sure you'll succeed, there is always a reason when things go down

Thanks mate, i'll be +

Love Android apps even though am not a programmer.. btw how do you plan to increase your apps installs thanks and good luck with your journey.

ASO to rank and get decent organic downloads, then facebook ads or AdWords to reach more users.

Sorry to hear about your game, i've got an account termination before , but i broke some rules, but now i'm going cleaan and still get suspends by google for stupid unclear reason. yeah i'll go with another account asap i reach 40 apps or so in this one

Sorry mate but your theory is nothing close to be true,no i show ads by guideline after my last alert by admob, i did contact them, but it is useless, they will tell you why and confirm the suspend.

not suprised, two of my google developer accounts got banned today 13/11/2018 -_-'

sorry for that, but i'm going clean and still get suspends, maybe the bot is massively banning these days.

Sorry to hear about your game, i've got an account termination before

Dude you just confirmed my hypothesis once you have been flagged and terminated before, you will always be in the eyes of their deep learning and fraud detection algorithms I think other members can confirm thi, keep up a good spirit you should find a solution soon. Good luck

No your totally wrong, no way they can link both accounts, this one is a clean USA account with more than 6 months age, if so it could happen before.

Hello,
Inspired by @vinku & @xaillos, I decided to start this journey, making android apps as a living.

I'm a Junior Android Developer & Web Designer, this year I finally finished my Bachelor degree, I was never a job type of person so I decided to devote my time & effort into succeeding online, I made some bucks for the past 3 years while in College, mainly freelancing and earning through websites.
I always thought that what held me back from reaching higher revenues online were my studies, but Procrastination and Bad Habits were my weak points.

We all know that working online, require discipline & hard work so I've been building good habits for the last weeks & learning in order to start this journey.

Earning through Android Apps won't be a first for me, I've made like 300€ through an app I launched in August 2017.

I tried to start again on July 2018, but I somehow failed due to discipline issues, I launched a new app the first week of that month, it reached today 10k downloads with 32% / 30 days Retention & 100€ revenue for the past 3 months.

I love making apps so now that I've reached the required mindset, I decided to start again, but this time I can only succeed or pursue a job salary which is an idea i totally despite, So I'll do my best to make this journey a profitable passive income business,

GOAL
I aim to make 2k/month so that means I need to make 66€/day that's why my goal will be to bypass 70€ in order to guarantee 2000€/month. my app is already making 2€ a day so will go from there till we reach the main goal.

I'll be Making High-Quality Android apps in WHITEHAT NICHES, the goal is to publish an app a day in google play with perfect ASO.
I will be:
- Making simple apps from scratch
- Buying Source codes and reskinning
- Outsourcing developers

This won't be a journey into making android apps only, but also a self-improvement journey, I'll be learning, reading & working-out daily.

DEADLINE
The journey starts on 28/10/2018 will have a deadline which is 28/02/2019, Succeeded before that or failed on deadline I'll start another journey different from this one.


Feel free to join my journey, or follow it, I'll be updating this post monthly, and the thread on a weekly basis, I have good ASO skills & tips that I will share when possible.

THANK YOU, WISH ME LUCK

hi. what kind of advize can you give on starting with you ?

* Focus on making apps not money.
* Make quality apps it will pay eventually
* Review developer policy videos on youtube and never break one., believe me google knows it all
* Put in the time for ASO, and use an ASO Tool.
