my mobile app journey [starting from rock bottom]

Mobime said:

IOS apps are whitehat.

For Google play I have one app which is greyhat.
"I am still figuring out this prior violation with Google and I am not comfortable working into full whitehat as work of many days and nights can be wiped out in a second".

Lately I spend a lot of time into keywords researching than actual programming.
First step is to know what people are looking for.
Is there enough demand to go and build an app for it ?
"This is not website building, go buy a wordpress theme and be ready in few hours."
What is your competition ?
"If your niche is already saturated for example..
How old are your competitor's apps. etc..."

I hope I am being helpful with my answers.

For everyone that is going to ask questions in the future.
I will not be answering something I already did.

Please show respect for all participants and read everything before posting.
Thank you

Til next time.

the issue of prior violation in google play store you are facing is I think because of the payment method. do not buy the accounts from sellers. they use same payment method to purchase all the account they sell and it is for Google to detect it. so if any one play account from that sold accounts gets banned all others will infect. this is my personal experience, working on android from last 2 years. hope will help you on your journey.

in all the reply on this thread, you not mentioned the app promotion part. do you just publish app and wait for organic installs or you run any ads to get installs. both in iOS and Android?

all the best !

I used to get all exited and bumped about revenue.
At the end of the day it is all just numbers.
The moment you think you have made it and get comfortable, that is when you get a slap in the face.

Current revenue for today :
754,62$

About 300$ from IOS rest is from one app at Google play.

There is still 6 hours for the day.
I will not surprised if it goes over the 1k area.

I stop myself from logging into my ad account so I stick to the plan of having 10 apps on each platform.
Revenue is really not that important as long as you have traffic.

I am still brain storming the Google play prior violation as most traffic is there.
Hopefully I get to it pretty soon.

Til next time.

Can you share how much download you have in order to earn that kind of money ?
i am thinking your monetization technique not ordinary. you must be use something special.

What tools do you use to help gather information on what apps to build? I know you do keyword research - is there keyword data on app store or play store searches?

Hello everyone,

I guess it is about time to make a thread in the journey section.
Every time I visit the forum I mostly check this section and I always want to create one.
Today is the day.

The main reason for this journey is motivation.

A little introduction about myself:
I am 28 years old who discovered the mobile industry by coincidence back in 2013.
I just finished school back then with a computer science degree and was having fun making apps in my spare time.

After about a year in 2014 one of my apps went viral and income started piling in.
Two years later I had a company with well established apps and was making mobile apps for Android full time.
My last day of income was 3662€.

I never forget that day.
Everything ended with one mail:

"this is a notification that your google play publisher account has been terminated"

I spent the next two years in depression and suicidal state.
After some therapy and world traveling I feel much better now.

Now about this journey:

I believe that anything can be achievable as long as you set goals.
Achievable goals.

My goal for this thread if to have 10 apps by the end of this year.
On both IOS and Android.

I will be sharing my knowledge and experience along the way.
If you have any questions.
Leave them below.

Please note that there will not be any daily updates but I will do my best.

Wish me luck.
Much love to you all

For now all traffic is organic.

If you got any ideas shoot a PM.
Maybe we can both help each other.

A little update:

5 apps on IOS.
Still 1 app on Google play.

I am half way through in the IOS journey.
With Google I am not worried as scaling won't be a problem.

Keep grinding.
Til next time.
