Pollfish

Since i cannot sell applications to Google Play (Cyprus is not supported yet) all my applications are free.

In 3 of them i have surveys from Pollfish.

I didn't want to have Google Ads or other intrusive and annoying monetization options.So i integrated Pollfish surveys.

It pays much more (0.30$ per surveys almost) and is less intrusive to end user!So everyone is happy :p

You can give a try HERE.I recommend it!

I think the easiest way is admob to make money
[General Monetization] geo_mojito:
You need to understand your audience, set goals, and know the data associated with your user base. You need to know how much money you make per install and the lifetime value of your user. For every dollar (and time/effort equivalent) you spend on the development of your app, you need to spend MORE on marketing. Marketing is a critical component to making money with apps. The quality of your app is less important unless you're a game studio. Many developers are experts at all things coding, but lack the general know-how when it comes to marketing their apps.

So, do you want to focus on building a few apps, and be higher up in the ranks where a lot of the money is? Or do you want to cut and re-skin apps and build a large portfolio, do your best to SEO them out and get downloads here and there and make money across a wide swath of apps?

What is the lifetime value of an install/user? If you have a few good apps with strong retention, you might want to consider a heavier marketing campaign - smart SEO, social media, buying installs. If you go the CPI/CPA route with buying installs....you will HAVE to know exactly how many you'll need to buy to reach the rank threshold whereby you can sustain organic growth...which is where the real money is. It's a waste of money otherwise unless you can get to that certain rank. I would track your competitors to try and find out exactly how many downloads they're buying, how many organic installs they're getting...what it takes to get the job done. There are many tools (free and paid) that allow for this.

Then there's choosing the right monetization platform and ad formats (where and when to place them) - do you want to use a reliable network like Abmob? Admob and another network for back-fill? A mediation layer? A strong supply-side network? Do you want to run banners all the time at the bottom of your app, and then interstitial/video after some user engagement (not at the beginning of the app :D) - these are all questions that you should ask. Making money off of apps is not an easy thing to do and most fail at it. You need to have a plan, know your numbers, and execute.

Hope this helps. I've worked in advertising at top companies like AOL and Amazon, in the app performance data space (downloads/revenue) - so I know a lot about how the big game studios market their apps. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, happy to help!

Low revenue in Google Play

I'm an iOS dev and now I starting publish app in Google Play but it's rather lower download and revenue in Google Play than AppStore.

In AppStore, I just publish and get about 100 downloads/day, but in Google Play, it's 1-5 downloads/day.

Is it any advises?

2 main ways to make money

There are two main ways to make money from mobile app.

One: you create an app and charge people for using it. You decide they should pay you through app purchase or in-app purchase. People usually don't buy an app unless it's very popular. So I suggest you offer in-app purchase. You can let them use one part of the app free (to make them like it) and pay money to use the app completely.

Two: you create a free app and allow advertisers to put their ad in your app. You and advertisers will work through a mediate platform. I have used various mobile ad platform like Admob, StartApp, airpush, etc. The best platform in my opinion is Adsota (you can find it by googling "ads.appota"). Its eCPM is really good, smooth and quick SDK integration and payment.

Best of luck my friends

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rick5000:
Dear users,

I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300 T-Mobile version).

I know I have to post this in the developers part, but somehow I can't post there (I have no permission?).

I followed this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2046439 and I'm stuck on the custom recovery part.

When I flashed it sucessfully, I disconnected my usb, pulled out my battery (as I should). Then, I tried getting into recovery mode (volume up, power + home button at the same time).

I get a samsung logo with GALAXY SIII (and GT-9300), with a little red dot on the upper-left corner. When I keep holding the buttons, the screen goes black and the logo re-appears. When i realease everything it'll freeze on this screen, and when I hold the power button it will just reboot (to my phone, nothing goes wrong then).

I should see some blue text at the top of my screen, and then a custom clockwork should appear. But no, I don't.

Can anyone help me? I can't get into recovery mode now.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackwolf10:
can you get to download mode volume down+power+homebutton

if yes then flash a stock Rom and it should be fine

ok good flash a stock Rom first then use CF auto root instead of the guide you used and follow instructions carefully
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rick5000:

And where can I find such a stock rom? Sorry I'm a noob at rooting and flashing. Will this erase my data? Because I just performed a new install.

If your phone still boots normally into Android, you don't need to flash another rom.

Search for the CF Auto Root thread on XDA and follow the instructions to flash that...

How far in bricking your phone by following those instructions have you gone ??

Do you try flashing a stock rom via Odin or just pay for a new motherboard .

You either do not have an I9300 and have possibly bricked your phone or you are in the wrong forum if you have Verizon Galaxy S III .

I have root access, superSU and stock recovery, everything works fine. Flash counter reset to 0.
