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

[Mr.Sinatra]

* 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.

I used to make daily 4 figures for more than 2 years.
Had an account manager from admob, we had monthly meeting and stuff.

One day google suspended my account.
Reason: prior violation
I never had any account before, in the end it turned out someone was using apktool and replicate my apps and once he got banned I got the hammer too.

You wonder what happened to the account manager ?
Vanished.

You should never forget that you are working for them not with them without contract without anything.

FÜCK YOU

My admob stopped getting traffic since this weekend i think it is new algorithm hitting admob accounts.

Op did you try using appstore app instead , maybe you will get a better chance there since you are on whitehat also no one could recreate apks there.

@Aegon

don't reskimning still work , i have seen a lot of people re skin then add just advertisement on the app.

it that still a killer?

i think the method is all iPhone apps.

there was a pdf on here once about it last year as a very profitable move.

Yeah you can never trust google, it's not my only income, i'm a freelancer, but i'm trying to make it, will swtich to appstore as soon as i hit the 2k$ a month.

My admob stopped getting traffic since this weekend i think it is new algorithm hitting admob accounts.

admob earnings depends on many things, you will always see dropdowns

Op did you try using appstore app instead , maybe you will get a better chance there since you are on whitehat also no one could recreate apks there.

Considering it, will start learning swift soon, than i'll start making apps there, as soon as i hit a decent passive income on play store.

Good luck mate! We follow this tread!)

Thank u

Following and goodluck.

Good luck..... Tailing you thread

Good luck with your journey

Thank You

UPDATE​

Hello every, hope you are all doing well, sorry for such long absence, I had to step off the game for a while to deal with some personal stuff and work on some freelance projects to pay the bills , Now I'm back with some updates, since I had no new apps published on google play, there is no earnings improvements 3 - 4 € day, but user base is growing.

NEW GOAL​

I will get back on track next week, Goal will be hitting 30$/ day instead of 60+$ , it's more reasonable and possible

GHOST BAN​

When I first launched my top performing app I targeted a specific country language, then I was hitting 200 - 300 organic install, I noticed that I was ranking unintentionally for good traffic translated keywords in other languages , so I targeted them, started getting good traffic from these countries, then suddenly nothing , I checked it and found that the app no longer appears in these countries, it very confusing , I think they ghost banned my app in these countries.

Hi Aegon,

Just wondering if its possible to reskin apps for the iOS appstore exactly just like the android app store? And why dont you go for the iOS appstore instead?

iOs is a bit harder to work on, u need to invest in advertising that's besides the mac I still don't have, but I'm considering it when I hit my target.

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.

The account was suspended 2 apps, Did that account has banned yet?

UPDATE​

Hello, folks how are doing, not much interest in this journey however i'll keep updating newcomers have to see what's possible in this field,Also I have been gone for a while I had to make some money freelancing, now that I'm completely back I'll be crushing the store with new apps. trying to hit my goal before my end-term so let's GOO! people
I have an increase in downloads & revenue, the screenshot above is for a new app launched on the end of Nov and it's growing in downloads daily and making also 2$ a day. so basically i had an increase without me working and that's what I love most about this field when it comes to autopilot growth apps are legit.

​

The app is in legal niche downloads are organic, about that ghost ban thing google mailed me, and it is a trademark compliant app was banned. apparently, i was using a registered keyword in app title, i appealed contacted complianer and waitting hopefully this will get somewhere.

 

[Seany D]

Can I see one app that you have made ?

Well done on your progress Aegon. The most recent Install chart is looking very promising. Wish you much success on that one.

It's interesting to read your journey as I've dealt with some ups and downs of being an app founder.

I sent you a PM. Hope to talk more.
