I was inspired my @vinku to create this post. Let's go!
This year I finished university and I got a developer position in one of the most cutting-edge startups in Barcelona. I asked for the human resources if I could shorten the schedule and enter to work only half a day. So I could spend the rest of my time developing apps.
I programmed some Android in college and got better over time and as I was doing tutorials on the internet.
I started to launch apps at the beginning of September and to date I have 4 developed and 3 published. One of them was banned because of spam and I'm reskinning it so I can upload it again in another developer account.
The thing is that at the moment I am earning about 100-150€ per month but my goal is to have a good source of passive income in a year, ie be earning at the end of next year about 1500-2000€.
I created a new Adsense account for that. I haven't received any payment yet, I have the payment method activated and this 21st day I should get my first 100€ from Admob.
These are my 3 apps. I will show you the downloads of each app and the keywords traking with TheTool tool.
I published the first app on August 24th. It hit very hard at first and then it relaxed. It's a placebo app, it seems to do something but it doesn't really do anything, just Interstitial load. It has very good retention. I think it could be because of the UI, it's quite worked.
The second app is going up little by little. I still have to update it and improve the usability a bit. This is a niche not very competitive. The keywords are ranking me very well. I'm waiting for an A/B test of the logo and screenshots.
The third app is a half-placebo app. It serves to entertain the user basically. This app cost me to publish it because Google detected it as misleading content. To this app I put installations per package and backlinks with variations of the keyword in the anchor texts. It's going up little by little and the keywords are starting to rank. I think I'll have to optimize the descriptions a bit more.
The fourth app Google rejected me once for putting too many ads, I fixed it and the second time I sent the app to review I was suspended for spam. I have to change the app and give it a twist, even change a bit the theme to attack better paid keywords.
SEPTEMBER SUMMARY
Estimated income September: 89,92 €
Downloads in September: 10.812
TOTAL SUMMARY
Downloads total: 15.880
Estimated total income: 95,15 €.
It's October 16th, so in 2 weeks I'll publish the October summary.
I hope it has motivated you and if you have any doubts leave them in the comments.
Thank you all very much and see you next time!
