App Downloads/Admob Help

I have several games in Google Play and Apple App Store that I've worked on here and there over the last few years. I don't feel like any of them would have been "viral" but I do feel like I should have done much better than I have.

I've been successful in other business ventures, but with this I've tried so much and now I'm just wondering if it's time to call it quits and move on. I've already spent money on Google ads, Apple search ads, Twitter ads, FB ads, and more, but I'm willing to try one last time if anyone has any other ideas.

I just can't seem to get downloads nor decent Admob revenue. In 4+ years I think I've racked up about $400.

I really like game dev (and the idea of making money with ads), and I would like to actually focus on it (haven't been able to devote tons of time to it, busy working on successful projects to pay bills!)... but it's hard to shift focus when it's not making anything.

Does anyone know of someone who could work with me, one person or a company, on this project? (Obviously I would pay the person.) Or, any other ideas?

Thinking of throwing in the towel, but I don't want to let go just yet...

Thanks! I appreciate everyone here!

For apps/games? Yes. Can't seem to get downloads or ad revenue still even with that method.

I've tried ASO on my own as well as hiring a couple of freelancers and a big company, with really no results at all.

Hi,in this case if you tried everything from paid ads to ASO, I guess the problem must be in the product itself. Did you try to conduct the survey among active users? Interviews with your TA can help you get a lot of insights. Also, I recommend to try analytical tools like devtodev to understand better user behaviour and predict the future results (and much more). I like it repsonally.

I wish you luck in this venture.

I am in agreement in that it might be the product itself. Perhaps the quality of my games/apps are not good enough, and I am willing to accept that (I don't get hurt feelings easily, lol). But I figured with the amount of promotion and other things I've tried over the years, I'd have at least had SOME more success than I have.

Thank you for the other advice as well; I will look into it and speak to my team about it all.

I appreciate your time!!
