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

[Aegon]

Final Update
​

Hello Guys, I Canceled My To-Do List Today, Oh Yes I'm That Organized Now , Anyway I Thought Why Don't I Update This Thread And Tell You How Things Went Since I Started This.

Remember My Whitehat Apps, Yeah That Did Not Go So Well, My Store Got Terminated Last Month Exactly on 15 May, I Failed to Reach 33$ Per Day on February with Legal Apps.
Thankfully an App I Published in April and I Drove Traffic to It Using a Legal App with 20k User Base Started Making 30$+ on May Which Game Changer for Me. I Started Making 50$+ Last Month on A New Admob.

What I Have Learned in This Journey:
- Never Put Your Eggs in One Basket: Yeah for Sure, I Still Did Not Publish Any of the Apps in the Banned Basket :Weep:, I'm Focused on Making Apps on the Same Winner Method, I'm Using Multiple Accounts Now with Greyhat Apps, You Can Never Trust Google , and I Was Lucky to Get Terminated After I Ranked and Started Making $$ in Other Admob.
- 33$ Even 66$ Is Possible in Legal Apps, You Needs to Be Patient and Make 10+ Apps Per Week in Different Niches to Achieve This. I Would Do It Again But I Found My Winner Niche, and Remember I Got Ranked Thanks to an Old App, in the First Account.
- Hard Work Pays Off: Even Interrupted Hard Work Paid Well for Me, Also Had Passive Income from Sold Templates, But I Regret Every Non-Working Hour, Thankfully Now That I Achieved the Desired Mindset & Discipline I'm Putting All My Time into Making Apps.

There Is No Winning Niche, I'm Making These Numbers In A Niche Full Of Competition, It's All About, Good ASO To Drive Traffic, Graphics for Conversion & Source Code For Better Retention.

I'm Putting GreyHat Apps Now And Will Update This Once I Hit 10K Per Month With Apps.

Waiting To Answer Your Questions.

Nice step forward

What kind of greyhat app are these apps, whar do you do?

Honestly my top performing app is a tool, i got it to rank on top 10 in main keywords with proper ASO strategy, it is doing better by day, other apps, same strategy different niches.

How i do it:
- Analyse & Search for a niche to work on
- Develop the App ( Good reskin is key)
- Design Icon & Screenshot
- ASO : Optimize well for keywords in title description & long description.
- Wait few days than start Driving initial traffic with push notification for a week or so, i get 3% daily conversion top, than i leave it to rank, if your app quality is good enough it will get good reviews and rank well.
Reviews now are a major ranking factor, consider adding a popup dialog to ask users for review.
I invest nothing in promotion, just pure ASO.

Very Inspiring Journey, whats the best method to drive traffic?

 

[BillyRusso]

Thank you for your answer. I maybe didn't formulate my question correctly.

What makes your app greyhat? What things do you do that makes app greyhat, not whitehat.

Haven't tried anything exept push notification

 

[Aegon]

Thank you for your answer. I maybe didn't formulate my question correctly.

What makes your app greyhat? What things do you do that makes app greyhat, not whitehat.

BlackHat stuff can be lowered down and adjusted to whitehat apps, keyword density as example 5-7, exchanging reviews, review motion as an example, haven't had any success with that Big G knows about this they filter and delete reviews, also using copyrighted keyword in your app, let's say for example you "can use this keyboard app for Facebook & etc... "
Hope I answered your question this time bro

Hi Aegon, congratulation & wish you best with your journey. Just want you know people still follow your thread . Anw, I'm jumping into android app, do you have any advice about niche research & aso tools?

 

[all_rock]

Hi Aegon, how many you have apps now? and how many spam? Did revenue change? Have a nice journey!

 

[Deleted member 1274522]

Are you developing the apps or trying to get the code from somewhere and re-skinning from it?

Hi Aegon, congratulation & wish you best with your journey. Just want you know people still follow your thread . Anw, I'm jumping into android app, do you have any advice about niche research & aso tools?

Keep hustling, and for niche research, I only use Play Store for top new or any ASO tool for top charts. for aso tools try these: appfollow, SensorTower, mobile action, Applyzer and find what suits you and stick with it they all do the same job.

Hi Aegon, how many you have apps now? and how many spam? Did revenue change? Have a nice journey!

Now I have 5 apps live, after a battle of accounts terminations lost 11+ accounts in the process, However, earnings are great even on autopilot, learned a lot, and now after a long while off I'm back to work and double me revenues.

Are you developing the apps or trying to get the code from somewhere and re-skinning from it?

Only developed a few apps when I first started the journey in the learning phase, Than NO development, I use app templates and reskin, add few things maybe some features and that's it.

 

[Deleted member 1175237]

Well-sorted journey.
Quick question how do you optimize app description?

 

[Aegon]

How do you optimize the app description?
​

Step 1: Gather keywords, from Google Planner, ASO Tools etc ...
Step 2: Analyse gathered keywords with ASO tools, and sort keywords by priority to focus on
Step 4: Write description focusing 7% 5% 3% on main keywords following the same order of priority

And where do you get these templates? Purchase them from codecannyon? Get them for free? GitHub?

Codecanyon, nulled websites, Facebook Groups, it doesn't matter you just need a template

Codecanyon, nulled websites, Facebook Groups, it doesn't matter you just need a template

Just design-reskin or rather "in-depth" restructuring?
Do you do InApp-SEO?
Which main genre do you prefer? (games, education, tools, etc.)
Which way of monetization is your way-to-go? (in-app purchases, only ads, benefits for watching ads) - and if you only do ads, how many? How many actions in between?
(How did you learn to code? )

 

[Aegon]

Just design-reskin or rather "in-depth" restructuring?
Turn the template into something different, the design is key

Do you do InApp-SEO?
You mean Seo for apps, no

Which main genre do you prefer? (games, education, tools, etc.)
I mainly specialize in apps no games, and no particular category.

Which way of monetization is your way-to-go?
I only use Admob for now, no in-app purchase or anything else, that's for bigger projects and future apps

How did you learn to code?
Online, udacity, youtube etc
