Android apps development Journey by Vinku...again - this time longer

Previously when I've started journeys I've lost my fate in android apps, couldn't break $300/day for last 1,5 year, depression, funeral, no time and general shit in my mind.


...but suddenly I've got Skype message from one of old clients.
Guy who was making ... $7,5k each day with 80 apps, regular breaking copyrights, getting ban every 6 months and starting again over. He has sent me screenshots to his Facebook Ads dashboard with ...

$240 000 in ... 30 days
Sorry, I can't post these screenshots * they are not my, *this guy uploaded in on gyazo and removed ;/

I don't know if I get even close to this number but let's see what I can do

So I've started thinking:
-wtf, why I am so lazy
-how it's possible
-why not me?

I've asked him about niches: mostly some breaking copyright wallpapers and other shit. However, retention can be small. Also he invested only in 2000 installs / app. So this guy have incredible luck or I've made something bad.

Started making new engine, it's not themed for now - my niche is Screen Locker with breaking copyright like Cristiano Ronaldo Locker. My idea is to put ads on lock screen to increase retention and get for example 10 impressions / user / day.

Here is an example what I want to do:

This is a trick, Google Play don't allow to show apps outside app but there is a small exception to be in blackhat and whitehat same time - screen locker. Ads are allowed unless your app name is Lock Screen.


Ad networks, this time I will try white hat ad networks like admob, facebook and applovin with tapdaq mediation. I've not used white hat ad networks for last 3 years and maybe I have bad image in my head.

Here is competition example:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lockscreen.scr7
1 month and 100k downloads oO



Started a project, requirements:
-simple activity with settings, it will be themed soon
-locker activity with keypad to put pin and place for ads (I plan to show it every 5 unlock)
-tapdaq integration
-generation of 100 apps/account * 5 accounts, no problem with Build Flavors
of course FULL COPYRIGHT BREAK

Simple activity for controls, user open it only to set up locker


I've made a fresh admob, facebook and applovin account just for this journey

STARTING DAY

Uploaded apps: 0 (engine in production)

nice journey to follow. i used to make good money with wallpaper apps. but recently my apps got removed from gplay because of the following warnings

"Your app has been suspended and removed from Google Play as a policy strike because it violates the spam policy by posting repetitive content."

i am using a same source code to spam my niches. recently i have this problem, could you give a piece of friendly advice?

And also how do you deal with admob if there is account suspension? meaning your 100 ad id will be removed.

Thank you again vinku
