[Journey] Make money publishing mobile apps

Hi guys,

My plan is easy. Build mobile apps on Android and iOS until I can generate enough money to survive.

I've started last year publishing some apps made in 2 hours. So since September 2023, I've made 135 EUR with in-app purchases and 120 EUR with ads. It's not a lot tho.

I use Google Ad mob. I haven't had any problems with them neither Google. I have to say Apple generates more worth views than Android,

For my future apps, I don't really plan to use ads anymore. It's easier to sell a subscription at $3 than having 2000 persons watching a banner ad. For my "best app", I only made $40 in ads when I made $130 with subscriptions.

My strategy is to build new app that need between a couple of hours and 1 week. I don't want to write backend or at least a very simple backend.

I have published a new app on the both stores and I'll keep you updated about the progress.

Cheers

I build apps like let's say a calculator or simple games. I have a dating app in a niche. It works quite well. I wait a bit before deploying it to the App Store.

All of them are built with Flutter, a multi platform framework.

interesting, 130 is recurring? also may want to try ad formats other than banner
will follow this journey

Your biggest challenge will be marketing these apps. You need innovative ways to reach initial subscribers at lowest cost.

where did you go
