This blog will be a journal of my progress as I start from scratch in developing profitable Android apps. Ill be documenting my discoveries, as well as writing up some general advice for making money. Itll be a rough journey, and possibly a slow one, but I aim to reach an initial goal of $1000 per month from Android apps. This includes a few revenue streams:
- Android Market sales (paid apps)
- In-app advertising (AdMob)
- Website revenue (this site!)
Ive set the initial goal relatively low for a reason - I believe that having an achievable medium-term goal, and basing my activities around that goal, is the surest way to success. I could have aimed for $1000 a week, but that would be too far in the future. $1000 per month is equivalent to roughly $230 per week, or $34 per day - which is certainly achievable with some effort.
So how to I aim to achieve
So how to I aim to achieve
this? Firstly: build an app. =) It may seem obvious, but the first step towards making money with Android is to actually build a worthwhile app. Not just a throw-away "Hello world" style program, but something really useful. It doesnt need to be complex - some of the most popular games for Android are really quite basic. But it does need to be a complete application, and have a purpose. Dont just start writing for Android for the sake of making money. It will be extremely difficult to write a good Android app with money being your sole objective. You need to find a problem to solve, or a need to be met. Then, build "an app for that".
Ive actually got dozens of ideas - far too many to write myself, and have been sorting through some prototypes in recent weeks. I have now decided on the concept which Ill be implementing for my first public app. Its staying under wraps for now, but I can say one thing: my first Android app published on this site will be a Casual Game.
So I hope youll join me for what will surely be a profitable adventure, and a beneficial exercise in Android development. You can subscribe by email or RSS, and keep up-to-date with my latest progress. Feel free to leave a comment with any questions or suggestions you might have - Ill be learning along with you, and Id love to get some feedback on what you do (and dont!) like about this site.
