Interesting that you have problems with Google's policies.... do you operate in a "gray area" ?
First, a little introduction.
I started making Android apps as a secondary business back in 2010. My profit grew steadily up to $3-5K per month till 2012, when I decided to put more attention to Android apps.
I am not a developer, I am mostly a person who can organize processes, build a team and make it all working.
Having implemented some strategies, for the last year I increased my earnings 10-20 times. The last months results were aggregated $70K a month. Of course, I am not just by myself in the project already.
The next target is hitting the 7 digits/month barrier. I believe this is reachable within 2-3 months period.
It seems like a very good progress. But I believe, this is not enough.
I have some limitations and some issues now. Human resources, developers issues, Google policies, etc etc etc. At the same time, I have some really good and invaluable knowledge how to monetize, how to promote - what is good and what is bad for Android apps.
I use some specific software created specifically for my purposes. I do some really good tricks to get more downloads/money.
OK, What I am looking for now... I want to exchange some knowledge, ideas and best practices with some SUCCESSFUL Android developers. To make buddies and boost our revenues together.
What is the criteria? $30K/month earnings and higher. How to validate? Skype screen sharing or Teamviewer / showing statistics for the last month in any ad network, for example.
Maybe, I want to create/join a "big league" club. Here or in any other place. Personally, I will be grateful to pay for access to an internal closed section of the forum available for subscribers only (say, $10/50 a month, it doesn't matter). But I understand this is not an easy task and maybe not too many people would join to share ideas.
Sorry, I will not be sharing my practices with everybody. Information is the most valuable thing. Contact me if you fit the criteria only and can prove it.
Thank you in advance.

nothing like malware etc... copyright issues sometimes.
Just wondering what kind of apps do you develop? Mind sharing a link to your apps?
Lol... anytime someone will not tell you their apps, they have something to hide. Maybe its just porn apps. Maybe it is icon drops in wallpapers. Then we get to the more gray areas. Apps that just link to videos on Youtube. Apps with other sorts of infringement. And worse....

Wrong...I don't show people my apps because there's assholes who will report them...Seriously..I showed some guy I barely knew a few apps of mine...20 minutes later I have DMCA notices from some random ass guy who has 2 shitty apps...obviously the idiot I showed my apps...and trust me my apps weren't going anywhere they had 7k+ ratings each...So no...just because you don't want to show people how you make money doesn't mean you're "hiding" anything. Some people just want privacy.
isn't this thread against the ideals of a forum? if you are not willing to cooperate with everybody, stay in your room....
Just my opinion, probably biased because i haven't managed to earn $100 yet :-)
