#92I created the app 3dweapons for Android about 2 1/2 years ago. ( http://www.3dweapons.net ) The free version was downloaded >1.7 million times. The paid version around 8k times. I added adds from multiple sources (mopub, admob etc) and in app purchases. For the paid app: In the top months (2 years ago) I made around 800 euro. But it dropped to 90 euro per month currently. For in app purchases: I am making 30 euro per…
Do you have a way to tell how many of your paid installs are legitimate?

#93Not much has changed since the last thread. Improvely ( https://www.improvely.com ) is still in the 5-digit monthly RR range and growing, and I do no outbound marketing other than some PPC ads that don't need much active management. Everything that can be automated has been automated (onboarding, lifecycle mails, dunning mails for billing issues, etc), leaving me free to spend all my time on support and improving the…
How did you manage to compete against google analytics (which does conversion tracking and a lot more, for free) ? Conversion tracking is something that i thought became a dead market at least 5 years ago (at that time i developed an analytics and conversion tracking solution myself).

#94A stupid app, called That's Not Funny, that I wrote in 2008 or so to teach myself Android programming (when v1 came out) continues to make around $40 a month from ads.

I wrote it, released it, then to my surprise, it got a pretty massive amount of downloads. Over the years, I've updated it to new versions of the OS, but very minimal work.
Not a lot of money, but it wasn't a whole lot of effort either. It covers the internet bill.

#95I have 2 iOS apps that are selling something like 5 copies per day each.
One is an iOS text clipboard manager (with iCloud sync) https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/copycopy-clipboard-manager/i...
The other one, for the lazy students in the italian market, is a database you can use also offline of recaps from books you study in school, with in app purchases.. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/iriassunti-riassunti-di-ital...
They are both in the 4/5 star ratings

#96Earlier quoted context omitted.
Can you tell me which site it is?
Sure, but the site is in Swedish: http://rakna.net
Ah I actually ended up using that a few months ago when trying to determine cost of living between various European countries. I was pretty shocked and saddened (as a naive university student) when I realised the full extent of taxation in the UK for graduate job salaries but soon realised it was still less than those of Europe, especially the nordic countries.

For comparison: I made an app called Joke Effects (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ctrlplusz....), in early 2011. The free version has around 70 000 downloads, and has made me about 25$ - in total.
Paid version (0.99$) has sold about 200 copies.

#99I make some passive income off affiliate link blogs. Not a lot, varies widely per month.
I've been making extra cash lately by running bandit algorithms to optimize the click through rate, basically choosing the optimal call to action. I've got a wordpress plugin which does that automatically which I've just made public:

That's a pretty nice app. I think with these simple apps you have to be at the right time in the right place. When I wrote That's Not Funny, there was only one Android phone on the market (HTC G1) and the App Store was fairly tiny. So the app made a bigger splash.
