How do people get so many downloads off their app? If you’ve published an app, how much have you made off of Google Play?
PingoJun 29, Well, you should be afraid. Mobile marketplaces are overcrowded and I’m losing all hope to make a living from. That being said, my other releases fail to reach downloads in a month and that’s way more common. You can’t estimate anything here, really. But your first mobile release is likely to fail hard, unless you already have a huge following on other platform and players demand for it. But maybe you’ll release a new flappy bird.
Who knows! SnoutUpJun 29, Joined: Jun 21, Posts: Well, as SnoutUp said, your first game will very likely fail, won’t generate much money. But you will learn many things from it, so go for it. Anyway, I wouldn’t recommend paying an artist for your first game, that is pretty expensive for a decent game. Luckily there’s a cheap alternative royalty free game art, you can buy this art pretty cheap, the only problem is that it won’t be unique, but most people won’t ever see the difference, just developers that have been seeking for that same assets hours Check some of this pages out, although there are many more, just do google searches to find.
One way to make money with these types of games, is to make them HTML5 games, and sell them to various publishers looking for such games. I believe this is what true valhalla does, and he is doing quite well for. In terms of ad revenue. From what I’ve heard, ads aren’t really a problem. In fact, what ads do is prevent people from playing your game TOO. They give the player a reason to stop playing your game, for now, and pick it back up later; which extends the lifespan of your game.
If your game is fun, they’ll come back later and put in another couple of minutes. So I don’t really have any experience on mobile.
Classic game like Battleships can still make money. NazGhuLJun 29, Joined: Jun 26, Posts: 4, Why should you hire an artist when you don’t even have a plan yet? Only people who do not take deliberate action for monetization worry about monetization. Those who do make their next move with confidence, putting it forward or giving it the axe.

Make something of «minimum viable product» using free assets and learn some more. GhostGKJun 29, My honest estimation would how else can you make google play money It does have invasive ads, so accidental clicks probably happen from time to time.
This is not about the game, it’s about a presentation. There are no screenshots nor gameplay video in the store page, which are very important things to show to potential players.
PingoJun 30, RoaJun 30, If you made that poop game for a client, I hope you learn a little lesson from how he presented the game post-production. He did a crappy job at it, pun not intended. It shows in the download count and has a direct effect on its marketability and profitability. What about the screenshots? He didn’t give a rat’s butt about presentability or even the meaning of «screenshot», just uploaded 4 copies of a random-looking image and left it.
That is honestly the lamest set of «screenshots» I’ve ever seen on Google Play, and it screams «don’t download me». What about the description? Poor grammar, poor style, poor presentation. The game might have a light-hearted theme, but that doesn’t mean it’s OK to write like a tween on an acid trip. What about the comments section?
Hardly anyone in the real world bothered with it. The only thing there is his sorry how else can you make google play money at astroturfing with your name on it.
The amount and quality of work going into a particular game, both during development and after release, are the basis of its profitability. You need to stop asking how much other people are making off their games, when the amount and quality of such work going into their games far outclasses yours. Those figures are for their stuff, not yours.
Use some common sense, judge yourself honestly and compare apples to apples for once, maybe then you’d have some hope of turning a profit. FrostyCatJun 30, Pingo likes. CharybJun 30, I put a month into the game, of part time work.
I emailed armorgames. Last edited: Jun 30, Far and wide the things people mentioned here are true. The more effort you put into something the more you get in return. With that said though, I do think there are some lucky people whos game just gets swept up with popularity, even though the game itself is terribly lame.
If you can get your game to go «viral» then thats really all the marketing you will ever need, but only a small select few will ever have that pleasure. RobertJun 30, Joined: Jun 22, Posts: That sounds pretty great, but it was also a lot of work, and requires lots of maintenance over time to sustain. The market is getting harder and harder to find success in though, and it took a ton of learning and work to start to see any progress.
That is definitely not a living either — although it has been nice! I just published my first game to Steam in November, and it alone has done better then all of the Google Play apps do on a month to month basis — so for me it makes more sense to develop.

Search for a book you want to send as a gift. The app also lets you browse the local map and see what activities are nearby that might allow you to get paid. And I would suggest you stay away from sites like that because some of now have scammers behind them who may lure you into downloading malware onto your computer by disguising it as a Google Play credit generator software. Google will actually give you credit just for completing surveys on their Playy Opinion Rewards app. The Google Play Store sells music, apps, and more, to anyone with an Android phone. If your gift was purchased through a third-party retailer, contact the retailer for refund information. You earn points for doing surveys, playing games, watching videos, and. This is just like the app Fronto. You can feel good about rocking out too, as Google pays out more to the artists than iTunes does. Every few minutes, you can earn another bonus.
