I hire freelancers from 3rd world countries, I cannot afford to hire from the U.S.
I am extremely un-organized and not sure how much is the average, but I hire a freelancer to do specific feature, then add another feature... until the app is finished.

Looking at my bank account, so far I spent aroun $1,400 on Upwork, this is equivelant to 6 apps cost, so $1400/6 = ~$230

was $1400 for making a single premium app from a scratch to a finish?
was $230 for making a basic app averagely at Upwork?

I don't reskin apps, I developer them from scratch.
So lots of you asking same question, let me give an example of how it goes.
Let's say I saw an that helps with budgeting and they're doing will and want to develop the same app, then I will think about the bare minimum functionality of the app and then post a job on Upwork as follows:
"
I am looking for android who can create a simple budget app, the app has the following features:

1. Home screen: User can add/edit/delete expense
2. Contact us page: when they click that, their Gmail app will open and send us an email
3. Handling 1 simple in-app purchase, if user didn't purchase the app, then we show ads(you don't need to worry about the ads, we will do that on another contract)

This should be done in 1-2 weeks(please let me know if it takes more and why?)
Budget is $100 for this job, if you're not comfortable doing this job for $100 please don't apply
"

Then I will look through proposals and see who is reliable and then start with them, after they finish it, maybe I will add another $20 milestone that will ads ad-mob in case user is on free...etc

as you can see, it's a hussle, negotiation and so on, there is no curriculum for doing everything.

related to the job you uploaded to Upwork, you offered $100 to the dev to make an app along with these following features
1. Home screen: User can add/edit/delete expense
2. Contact us page: when they click that, their Gmail app will open and send us an email
3. Handling 1 simple in-app purchase, if user didn't purchase the app, then we show ads

so, after that app has been finished and sent by the dev, do you upload that newly finished app directly to the app store?
 
Will it be profitable after hiring someone for developing the app! Good luck on your journey btw.
 
You plan to build many kinds of apps , example : gaming , entertainment , news , v.v.v
Best of luck with your journey dude .
 
Revenue update:

Profit This month: $1,444.71
Revenue This month: $1,636.85
Cost This month: $192.14

Today's Total Profit: $89.02
Today's Total Revenue: $104.20
Today's Total Cost: $15.18

Average Daily Profit: $57.79
Average Daily Revenue: $65.47
Average Daily Cost: $7.69


I know the next question would be "Where the cost goes?"
so it goes to the provider, let's say I am selling Cloud GPU space where users can rent this for $2/hour and then they can render huge videos.
I get paid $2 per sale, google takes $0.30(15%) and the provider takes $0.20, I profit $1.5, that's just an example, but my app is pretty similar in the sense that it makes user able to do more on their phone than their phone normally would be able to do (please don't ask what my app exactly does :suspicious:, I already gave a really valuable information if you pay attention).



I am averaging $57.79 across all my apps, which is exactly 57% of my goal this year, I want to be able to hit $100/day profit consistently.

Initially you lose money, you only make money if your app became successful(consistently generating revenue)

No, if the freelancer did a good job then I would hire them again to add a few small feature, again and again until the app is usable, then I publish to the appstore. if it got traction, then I would improve on it if needed, if the app not getting users then I would move on, but it's seldom for my apps to fail because I do market research before creating my app.

only one of my apps is, ironically it's the 3rd performing app in terms of revenue, I have other 2 apps that perform better in terms of revenue...
 
Any tips how to do app market research?
To find good niche to make app?
The market is so saturated and so hard to find ideas to make app about..
Because there is literally every useful app already made. Feels like there is nothing to make..
Everything already made..

You said you "copied" other app basically.
But what makes users to use your app and not the "original" ?

There are two types of app developers on appstores:
1. one that's passionate about development and is really great programmer, those devs usually don't make money, sometimes they get lucky and their amazing app goes viral and they bank lots of money, but it's very rare.
2. the other category is people looking at apps as business investment, they don't care about new ideas or passion, just something that works and solves problem, even if there is already an app doing 100% same thing, they create another one because it's always possible to get some piece of the pie.

this question sounds logical but it's actually silly, It's like a grocery store, if someone is opening a new grocery store and you ask them the above question, it would be silly question, because some people will buy from this new grocery store because it's near to their location, similarly sometimes my new app gets suggested to users and they download and use my app even though an older app exists with same functionality.

Do multiple offers on offerwalls
I recommend you to use an app called "Island" it gives you a work profile on your phone to repeat the offers multiple times just keep resetting it after every offer you complete

What is that for?
Did he use it?
 
Following your journey, i hope you can make a constant $100 / day asap !

just an idea, can you incorporate some IA to your app to make it more "attractive " ?
