Journey to make $100/day from IOS & Android apps

@IOS passive

You mean This one in sensortower?
Solution:
Publishers & Ad Tech

Or something else?
Just choose an app and then go to the Organic user acquisition tab and see what keyword they are ranking, or sometimes I come up with some keywords and analyze them on Sensotower.
The process is currently unorganized, because the niches I choose are mostly not crowded because the apps require a complex backend... so it filters hobbyist Android devs out.
 
can you plz put some details what the reason for suspended on play store and what kind of app you focus on
good luck and thank you!

The app is in the tools category, it was suspended due to a copyright claim from a big boy.
Thank you

Very interesting. I just made account there.
You used this data and you can tell its accurate?
I see very interesting data there and stats too.

Wondering if the data is correct actually.
If it is 80-90% correct then this helps alot to check the competitors.

Are those free tools?
 
Are those free tools?
I would say half of them.
Rest are paid.
You must ask for a quote.
There are no prices listed.
In the beginning if you just starting out, you dont need to pay.

Dont waste money.

The ones I used are free. You get enough data.
Also I use other less known tools that have playstore/appstore data and statistics

Copyright claim of app features? multimedia assets?

How do the app stores pay you? PayPal?

Do you target your apps to 13 years old and younger kids? Or just lose that niche... That is confusing from Play Store usage terms
 
UPDATE:
Month july:
apps: 5
profit: ~$2,260(~$1,900 anroid, ~$350 IOS)
average daily profit: ~$72/day

Now this month, things are looking way better, so far:
apps: 5
profit: $575(android: $474, Apple: $101)
average daily profit: $115

I did reach my goal pretty early, never thought this possible when started, especially during mid-april, I was about to give up when I wrote this:


But now it's making me more than $100/day.
Regarding my SAAS business, when I started this journey I had 2 SAAS, one was related to payment processing which helps grey-hat businesses process payment using some technics, basically it's wrapper around paypal/stripe and it helps with covering your grey-hat business so you don't get labelled by stripe as high-risk, but I ditched this software as it's very hard to scale, everyday is a new challenge which is not worth it, the stress is too much.
the other SAAS is in HR niche, which I am currently working, I hired one developer full-time right now, and will be adding more devs as the project gets more traction.

Now coming to the goal of $100/day which is accomplished, at least for now we're making more than $100/day, so what? do I feel proud or happy? do I feel accomplished? NO, because the more I make, the more hungry I get and I want to scale this to $500/day, but not now, I will be pumping some apps after 2-3 months of working on my SAAS.
I don't want to waste my time with celebrating tiny achievements and let myself decline again, I want to keep this momentum until I break 6 figures income.
The best way to scale is reinvesting the earnings into hiring VAs, devs and automation tools, to make things work without requring your willpower, so if I am lazy/procrastinating I will still have a business that's running because my effort is not required, I believe I am always at a risk since big portion of the income comes from google which is extremely unreliable company to work with.
so the next steps is diversifying my income, hence focusing on SAAS, plus I want to get into e-commerce as well.


When I started this journey, first earnings I shared was like $23 in February, now take a look at the below screenshot:

This is my chance in the online entrepreneurship world, and I should push forward and never stop.

Thank you.
Congratulations on your achievement!
Really, have a lot of ideas for making a good app but my big problem is the payment gateways.
What payment gateways do you use? Most payment gateways do not accept users from my country and this is the major issue I am facing since I started IM.

Don't Google/Apple provide one for in-app purchases or app sells?

Which kind of payments do you want to process?

Where are you from?
 
A quick update, since I'm extremely busy these days with our new apps, setting up S3 storages, configuring servers...
So I uploaded my app to appstore around 10 days ago and got rejected for spam 4.3 then I had to send an appeal, recorded my screen walking them through the github repository of ours.

Then yesterday, after nealy 10 days of no updates, I heard from them:

I will update this thread soon, by the end of this month and evaluate my daily profits...
Thank you

1. I don't use cross-platform techs, I use Swift for IOS and Kotlin for android, I tried react-native 2 years ago and it was a disaster, I don't want try a cross-platform tech again, unless something changed about those techs.

2. I try keyword optimization, screenshots optimization, and run ads for few days to kick start some installs, then it's all organic, then try to maintain good review, if a negative review written I will try to respond in a way that implies that it's user's problem, not our app's(not in a rude way).

3. Currently only in-app purchase is my monetization method.

Thank you
