The question is how do you want to make money from it?

Sell it will not work as people look more for free social apps.

Ads will also not work as you can see no social app got ads.

I really dont understand how is whatsapp making money???

The ideia its get users
when we got 1m users we will make ad system, sell and show ads like facebook.

we spend a lot to spread this network (adsense,adwords, blablabla)
But later with some trafic and active users its easy to make money

2016 my 2 cents as a Hobbyist Developer

Two Keep On's
  • Enjoying, promoting & sharing around the B4J and B4A products
  • Exploring new - to mention Pine Project, Raspberry Pi any developments, TinkerForge Bricks ...

Two Wishes
  • Anywhere Software to keep the pace in bringing new & updates to their product suite
  • Meeting the great members of the forums in (so far non existing) events like (thinking loud) B4X Developers Days, local B4X Communities ...

I hope to find a solution to my age-old problem of converting a numeric value to analog (weight). then I can start playing with first steps
of analog computer. This is not ADC. it's rather a transformation between two worlds..

forget it

My plans for 2016 is to make B4A as a serious alternative of working just in case things go wrong with my actual job. This is what I called Plan B.

The only limitation I will have is my family that leaves little free time.

Of course, this appreciation is because there is a good product and a great community behind

Mine is start publishing games.
The idea is making 4 games during 2016. So by march I should be releasing my very first game. So... hurry hurry!
And if I'm lucky I hope to see some money income from them...

Well done! You've released one complete game with over 100,000 downloads and your second game in early access is looking good for a pre-christmas release! (I hope). We'll just have to assume you've started to make some money from catapult.

I have a lot of plans but as usual they might collect dust once the proof of concept is there.

I managed to complete a few of these proof of concept apps and I might release a few others before the end of the year.

the released ones are maybe not really games for the wide public but I'm not complaining so far.

I hope to release the UFO very soon (just waiting for some money to start a launch campaign), and meanwhile I'm working in the platformer game. 2017 should be productive, as I have a lot of projects allready initialized, it's just a matter of finishing them!

Ads will also not work as you can see no social app got ads.

Facebook is full of ads (both website and Android app). They just disguise it like "sponsored feed".

knowledge is money, @ilan.

I bet whatsapp is selling some info to 3rd parties like most of these companies do.
(valid phone numbers for call centers?)
