Get you app into more stores aside from Google play and iTunes. There are lots of other ones out there that will help increase installs.
Focus on your social signals (twitter, facebook, youtube, etc.). Make some engaging content that will attract new users and followers to be apart of your community.
Get some fake installs, ratings, and reviews to keep the reputation of your ad stuff apps looking good for future installers.
100+ a day is no bad 3k a month almost passive.
Though there is much more you can do. I know some guys easily banking 10k+ a day from apps.
 
Excellent tips. I'm working to find a way to get 100 a day install.

Uhm, my first app is just 5 days on the Google market, and i have already 100 installs (US/UK users) every day. Yesterday I had 9500 screen views (Google Analytics). It's my first app, so i don't know if this is a really good thing or just normal stats. I don't have any ads in my app at this moment, because I don't know if i will earn enough. I'm not going to push my app full of ads if i earn only 10$/month. So anyone have some installation statistics and an indication of the earnings?

those are nice ideas indeed. Also visit local shopping centers and at mobile resellers use the phones and tablets that are on the booth to rate your apps.

Below tips are strictly related from my experience with only Android apps
Here are the alternative markets where u can submit your apps:
opera app store
amazon app store
soc.io app store
GetJar
Appia
Android Pit
Mobango
Slide Me
Samsung Apps

Some of them require to upload apk, description and pics manually, some of them get info directly from play. I'd say Samsung apps is the best cause there is less competition but their review process is manual and takes about a week. For example my friend with one of his apps without any marketing got on google play 100 downloads and on samsung apps 10k downlaods.

Furthermore as here was mentioned leadbolt I can say from my experience and statistics the leadbolt brings 50% less revenue from banner ads than airpush. So I have completely switched only to airpush ads now. Moreover the leadbolt takes $20 commission for wire transfer (straight to debit card), so you need to redeem it on paypal not to pay the comissions. But airpush doesn't take any comissions.
Somebody has asked also what kind of ads bring the most in. For me airpush smartwall ads bring the most. After the push notification ads were banned the income dropped like 20% now.
 
this is awesome congrats , i really would like to get helped start making serious returns, i make only few cents from my apps daily :( i made informational apps since i am a noob
 
The only one way of monetization is adsense which i prefer the best. Because they pay more for that.

Try CPA with it, may be you can make more.
 
I have a couple of apps on the market but i am not able to monitize them properly. I have a live wallpaper but i don't know a single way to monitize it.. any suggestions or tips on how to? pls PM me..
 
Started doing some android apps. First one was a Popular Video game that was soon to be released. Launched that app and it got about 254 DL's before it got suspended. It was a fan app with yt videos, rss feed and a few other things. I have seen tons of these apps, but for some reason mine got suspended for IP Intellectual Property I am guessing. So my question is how can I make fan apps like everyone else and not get suspended? Thanks. Also if there is a FB or Skype group to discuss this please let me know. Thanks
 
hi... i am an android developer with about 2 apps and 2 games on android market. I am really struggling on the monitization front and earning only about $1.5 - $2 a day. Can anyone help me in finding ways to monitize better and increase downloads. Is there a better way to optimize my google play app description also?

Hi, please, give me you skype. I would like to talk with u about making money at android apk. I have some android games and monetized it in ad networks. Now i get 50-100$ every day, but i think, it's not a good result..
 
Really interesting thread. I just subscribed to it. Waiting for more posts from more people that currently earn money with apps/games and how many downloads do you have and what monetization network do you use. Thanks!
 
Do anyone have an example with apps (on market), installs (with geo) and daily earnings on specific ad network?
