Hi all,
I just joined the forum. I’ve been reading it for the past hours and a bit depressed at myself as my current revenues are completely ridiculous. I can see that there are a look of people making some good money with their apps/games and I am far from it.
Here’s a little bit about my apps/games portfolio:
I am developing apps since September 2012. I haven’t been since 2012 actively developing apps and just in 2015 did I really decide to focus on this and try to make some money.
App 1, finance - launched 2012. 9051 downloads, 1377 active downloads, 45 daily users. Uses admob banner, chartboost interstitial. Last 30 days 5 USD revenue.. It took me about 100 hours of work on this one.
There is also a “Pro” version of this app, that costs about 2 dollars. 71 purchases in total
App 2, game/education - launched 2013. 48542 downloads, 8073 active downloads, 50/60 daily users. Uses admob banner, admob interstitial and chartboost reward. Last 30 days 4.5 USD revenue.. I took me a good 300 hours to get everything done in this game.
Also launched for IOS (USD 1.5 in 30 days) and Amazon (USD 1.0 in 30 days)
App 3, game/puzzle - launched 2015. 97 downloads, 37 active downloads Uses admob banner and admob interstitial. Last 30 days 5.30 USD revenue.
Also launched for Amazon and iOS.
Apps 4 to Apps 11 (8 apps in total), personalization/wallpapers - launched in 2015 all. ~1450 downloads (all apps), 400 active downloads (all). Uses admob banners and admob interstitial and one of these 8 apps is also using StartApp as a test. Last 30 days 5.15 USD revenue.
11 apps in total.
So, all in all, last month I’ve made:
Admob - 31.73 US
Chartboost - 1 US
In-App and App Sales - 1.15 US
Total: 32.76
As you can see, I made $1.05 per day with 11 apps. If you ask me I think that’s pretty crap.
May I ask what you guys think? Any suggestions ? Should I invest on incentivized CPI for my Education Game that is my biggest hit? Should I explore other ad networks like MobileCore (I see a lot of people talking about that one here). Maybe I should stop making games and focus on Apps?
Any suggestion appreciated guys!
Thank you
