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

How about acquiring downloads through google instead? First result on google for "clash of clans mod apk" apparently has 2 million downloads, and I guess you don't have to care about any bans. Bit of SEO and it shouldn't be too hard to outrank some of these. Maybe the hard part is to mod the games tho

Good luck, mate. Have you started earning yet?
 
UPDATE
STILL NO EARNINGS

My apps are still not in Play Store but it's very close to upload them, I've made cool engine, reskinned one from Chupamobile but I've changed almost everything, this code was so bad, mess, crap and looks like 14 years old kid made. However, it was faster than creating source code from zero. Now I have engine to generate 100+ apps / one account * 10 accounts.

I've made a diagram for readers for better understanding how it works and why I am using Tapdaq.
In general there are 3 ad networks in use: Facebook Audience Network, Applovin and Admob.
I need a mediation service between them, to choose best ad network for user geo, gender, interests, etc. and with the best ecpm for me.
I've though about mopub, famous Android mediation service but their system is complicated, old and dashboard looks like shit made 10 years ago.
Found tapdaq, modern design, cool features. Of course, they get comission 10% but it's not a lot on this stage. It's better than making own mediation solution.
Maybe later I think about it, now I haven't time to build system for this project. Also custom code is well detectable by bot to connect multiple accounts. Universal and famous service is better to sit under radar.

So, like you see in diagram:
1. User is downloading application and setting it as default lock screen
2. Each time (I've limited it for every 10th unlock) when he unlock device, he can see full screen advertisement
It's still legal because locker is application, we cannot display ads outside application (without cloacking)
3. Tapdaq is choosing ad network, bump!
4. Money

Few companies have made researches and average unlock times / user = 110 / day. So it's enough to put ads on every 10th unlock to not make user angry. We don't want uninstalls.

I am going to full break copyrights, there are some apps Ill upload soon:
1. Ronaldo Locker
2. Lionel Messi Locker
3. Black Panther Locker
4. KPOP Locker
5. Lebron James Locker
6. Goku Locker
7. Vegeta Locker
8. Gohan Locker
9. Anime Locker
10. Joker Locker
11. Luffy Locker
12. Harry Potter Locker
13. Star Wars Locker
14. Jack Sparrow Locker
15. Neymar PSG Locker
16. Stephen Curry Lock
...100...

Each app have 10 wallpapers to choose as lock screen. Ill not write all apps because I don't want competition and to be tracked by readers of this journey ;)



My reskin work, with this engine and build flavors I can fast generate 100 apps, I need just to gather images in correct folder and click build button, 15 minutes and bump! 100 apps created:

No, I cannot, you are lazy because after typing in Google "build flavors" you have hundreds of tutorials
 
Can i use Buildbox build the same app?
Thanks and goodluck to u!
 
Vinku, so on average you don't buy any installs for your apps ?

When you say you do ASO what exactly kind of ASO are we talking ?
 
just wondering about those photos you're going to use as wallpaper for your lock screen , aren't they all copyrighted ? or you now how to bypass google images identification ? sorry for my bad english :)

bypass, they are copyrighted
 
Just about the time when I just wanted to create the similar thread. A journey.
I am new to Internet Money making thingy.

I have one Google Developer Account with several apps uploaded.
I am now earning stable 0.5$ a day from those apps.

Your target is like a dream for me, 10$ a day is more than enough for me.
But, it seems so hard to reach.
Maybe I am just lazy, maybe I just have no knowledge in this world.

The main problem for me is not creating the app, the main problem for me is how to get people to install my apps.
One of my app is just sitting there in play store for months without a single install.

How to get people to install my app?
Advertising is not possible for me, when I set the target 10$/day you can judge that I could not afford to spend more than that amoun in advertisment.
I know, some people will say that i HAVE TO spend money to make money, but I believe that brain is much more valuable than money, everything can be solved with brain, I just need to know how to start, a clue to guide my brain to think about the solution.

Sorry for my broken english and nonsenses... :)
Greeting from a country with the similar flag as yours, just upside down. :)
 
Another amazing journey Vinku, I'm amazed how you work with those Android things!
This time be more motivated and you will crush your goals!

Question:

As a total beginner to Android programming, which site/youtube channel can you suggest me to start with? I just need your experienced suggestion :) (I know already how to google but I want your suggestion)
 
This is very interesting.

I guess there are millions of people that have android phones and don't care about ads running on their lock screen nor the all the bloat they click on daily basis.
Money making time

Will be following for sure.
 
UPDATE - THERE IS A REASON WHY IT'S PINK ;)

Finaly, it wasn't update so long because I was working on downloading images and adjusting ads in my lock screen applications.
Just now I have uploaded my first app like that, choosen a niche with boyband from Korea. It's popular band and applications are easily getting 500 000 installs without promotion.

I've decided to make upload this application on my authority account (aged account, what got minimum 1 mln downloads in the past, it's huge boost)
For this app, ill invest in installs:
$500 for 10 000 initial installs. Let's see if that helps.

Tomorrow I am going also upload 100+ lockers to Play Store. I needed just images, not detected via Google Images, so I for 1,5 week downloaded 5000+ images from many, many niches.
Opened each image in Photoshop, added mirror, blur/color mask, etc. It was huge job for me, manual and boring, whole days in Photoshop. I couldn't hire a freelancer because I need to make sure that nobody make mistake.
Now I have variants for 2500 apps, 2500 folders with 20 images ready to use inside each one. Of course images are repeating but not / account.
Creating new apps in bulk thanks to build flavors is one click now. Only manual job is uploading and making descriptions.


In next updates I am going to publish earnings, for now:

STATS:
APPS IN STORE: 1 (tomorrow 101)
BANNED APPS: 0
INCOME FROM ADMOB: $0
INCOME FROM APPLOVIN: $0
INCOME FROM UNITY3D ADS: $0
SPENT MONEY: $500


 
That's good to hear and strong plan

Why you prefer tapdaq when we get other mediation networks like appodeal, iron source
