Part 9
HOW TO BE RICH FROM APPLICATION
Let's start from most important:
WARNINGS!
Informations here doesn't contain 'successful gold rules' that makes you rich!
(You can find many e-book about it. ).
This is just bunch of advices that will help make your app more visible and increase change to get bit more money.
This advices will be useless overtime as things changing constantly.
Well. It is unlikely that you will rich as a
Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg by writing simple applications, but you
can earn a little bit from your applications.
Here, you can find common tips
You need be lucky.
Follow advices given in part 8
about Title of the game and Description and Promo text.
Singular and Plural may matters.
For normal search engine Singular and Plural do not
matter, but when I start my app using Singular or Plural
forms and I search using Singular or Plural forms. .I
got different result. I don't know why, so I think decision about
use Singular, Plural or both depends on how users search for
type of your game.
Upper and lower characters may
matters. Again, they shouldn't, but Are you using a capital letter,
when you search for something? No? This is reason why is a good idea
to have a description in lower case. It is weird as normal search
engine should not see difference between Word and word, but it
somehow affect result rank.
Translate your application into
some other languages. Find top 10 languages for your application
game type. (+ English and your native language) and smartly
translate. .How to do it? Use simple sentence as they are easier to
translate correctly by translator. Translate to foreign language and
translate back to see, is result are correct or not (you will be
surprised).
Do NOT use adults terms in
title, description and promo text.
Price. If you want earn money on
Android application, then forget about paid version and use ads
based systems like appbrain, inMobi, ad mob and more.
However,to be successful, you must do a research about which ad
networks is great in revenue, payout and reliability and how is
suitable for your application and audience. They are many ads
networks available for Android. (Look for list for example here:
http://appflood.com/blog/list-of-mobile-ad-networks-february-2013).
Be careful about what type of ads
your implement in your application and how intrusive they are. You
can be flooded with 1 stars for annoying type .In my opinion, you
should avoid push ads,
There is one exception from above
rule. If you planning sell your on Amazon Market,then make this
application paid there and exclude Amazon kindle from supported
devices on goggle play .Why? People who used AppStore and Kindle
Fire Alps Store are learnt to pay for content .(It not applies for
Goggle case as Goggle earn money on ads,so they didn't bother to
learnt user to pay for apps. Another reason is that people who buy
Android's based devices are not people who love spent money left and
right, so they stick to free version and give 1 stars for annoying
ads).
Use your friends to write a good
comment about your application. It will motivate people to download
app and improve your position in ranks.
-
There are few good e-books about
how to earning money on Google Play.(Good for beginners, quite
useless for people who has experience with monetization using ads).
- You need be lucky (Yes I wrote this as bullet point
above, but that's most important.)
Translate from English to Foreign languages and translate back. If
doesn't have sense
Again, this blog entry contains only few tips and they many many
more.
Keep in mind that these tips will be outdated very quickly as
things changing constantly, so make sure that you always do more
research about it. If you want have a nice constant earning then you
need check often for new and good techniques for revenue. (by good, I
mean these one that are acceptable by user for example push ads cause
1 stars full of hate review).
