Hi Bigbuddy- Couple of questions if you don't mind...
1. What is a general cost of having someone add a multiplayer option through say odesk, freelancer, versus a in house guy? I know the in house is cheaper but numbers wise?
2. Also what is a rule of thumb for numbers to purchase an template, reskin, launch, what not... Do you limit yourself to a $5000 budget before you might want to look at another app because of costs over runs?
Your thoughts?
Thanks!

Hi! I'm in the other side, I'm an Android App Developer and currently I'm making money just by coding games and selling the source code to all of you in sites like Codecanyon and Chupamobile.
Some of you may ask me why if I have the ability of making games, why I dont promote and market them and try to make more money out of them. My problem is that i dont know how to get downloads, and also, the android market is saturated, choosing the right game name, and rank it and doing all those things is really hard for me. I need some marketing experience in order to do that, but for now I'll just keep coding games and selling to people like you that want to start in this awesoem world of smartphone apps.
You can try my last game here.

Good luck to all of you!

I think private app install exchange group such as eepurl.com/baC9iv can be really useful especially when it is free. There used to be a skype group on BHW that does app install exchange but I think that has died off due to lack of active participation. There are simply too many leachers than people who participate and get app install exchanges. Pure advertising to get users are getting harder due to increasing cost and ASO keywords can be effective (and cheap) but there is no certainty of success.
And manugm94 correctly points out, the mobile app market is currently overly saturated. Let us be honest, how many apps do we use in a day. With millions of app on the appstore (not just android, this includes itunes too), it is really difficult for indie to get exposure to their app.
Will appreciate if more people can share skype group or other places whereby we can do free app installs/ review exchange. Personally I think this is one of the best way for indies on limited budget to get their app ranking thus getting more exposure potentially.

Well, the only thing is wrong about your post is that, we are not indies, we are marketers, I don't succeed as an Indie Developer when i make a game and I upload it to the play store, but when I act as a Marketer, I manage to make some good money out of my games, promoting them and doing those kind of things.
Yes, maket is oversaturated, but we all know that millions of smartphones are sold everyday, and more people user their phones all day. So let's try get the installs for all those new users of smartphones.

Don't try fighting with big players. Mobile market will never be saturated as long as you hit the right niche. Dont focus only on games. Focus in apps.

yes. I have many appsgone unsuccessful, they are clone of big players. I guess here you speaking about chart rankings. Never bother about chart rankings, if you ahve tight budget focus on aso, buy review and ratings to rank your kw top.

i want to get into app making but i'm not a C programing or xcode nerd. Are there any alternatives to chupamobile?
BigBuddy. I'm loving sensor tower so far. What is a good keyword traffic/difficulty score to start out with?
You can use html5 to develop games - pick the Construct 2, Game Studio or GameSalad, to make and export games for Iphone and Android. Most models of new mobile phones support webgl (in short - app acceleration) already!

BB,
Thanks for your inspiring thread. I finally jumped in
This is my first app's stats so far.
How much revenue should I expect from these stats?
I have a very high engagement game but my earnings are damn low as they are Indian players. I am targetting Indian FB via ehoring method and also via PPC.
Just want to know should I stick to chartboost or find another network who have better Indian fill rate.
I think chartboost has shitty fill rate for India. Looking for some help. Also check fb, sent you some more queries

It seems to be android and I dont have much knowledge about android app. But, if the above stats for IOS , I can say chartboost + admob revenue should be $50 - $70 per day. Make it as 50% less for android as far as i know.
I checked FB, but no messages. Ping me in skype.
