It's Been a Long Time

Hello everyone! I know it's been a very long time since I have posted anything. The truth is, Android development has kind of come to a halt for me at this point. I am very knowledgeable and would still like to continue making apps but I have found it's a very underpaid job. It is extremely difficult to make any significant amount of money on Android apps. That's why I made this blog, in hopes that it would help others who are struggling to make it in the app business. The hardest part is that over 75% of the money made on apps is from Apple but the Android market is by far the largest app market in the world. Android is mostly all free though. I have come to find that the best way to make money is from ads (or in-app purchasing) but I haven't tried that yet. Ads are the number one way people make money off Android apps though. There is no doubt in my mind. When you play an app half the time you click on annoying ads by accident but who the hell forks over the cash for in-app purchases? Probably about the same amount of people willing to fork over money for an app in the first place (which isn't very many people when you are dealing with Android.) I have always hoped that someday I could make Android development a success. I have no start-up money and nobody to help me create the apps. It is simply me, trying to make a little bit of money on the side. It's hard to do without resources. That's why I am hoping some of the resources listed in my previous posts will help others out in making their dreams come true. I also hope that people will want to return the favor and help me out in return. Please leave any comments about any great knowledge in the app business. I don't do iOS. That shit's way too expensive. Android only! Please comment, make suggestions, leave tips, etc. I also have an idea to turn this blog into an app. Does anyone think that would be helpful in any way? If so, I will probably do it. If not, it's not worth my time. I know people are reading this blog but this blog doesn't make me a dime even with ads. I honestly don't even know if the ads are worth it on here. AdSense is not very lucrative. I am making much more off my apps and even that is an extremely tiny amount. I know you all need help with getting started in this business and I'm still learning as well. Please keep that in mind and try to leave helpful suggestions for me and other readers of this blog. Thank you. Have a wonderful night!
