Stealing apps

[hookshy]

I did thought of buying new apps then reskinn then bang ...milionare maybe this is not a great idea !

When I started building apps back in 2013 I thought that i keep up with these guys on forum then I would make some money one day ...as if you are in a class and you must agraduate

I have seen developers that over period of time , they start selling apps ! ... but who gives up on their app just like that ?

Everybody say that if you want to make money you should have at least 200 installs per day and one million active users , yes if you do earn money from advertising, but there are apps out there that make money with 1 install per day.

There are some apps can generate money on the first release !!

Q:
Think about your apps that makes money over android maket ? Would you sell your app ?
Would you share your ideas just after testing a release with members of this comunity ?

My name is hookshy , I am an b4adict and make litle over 50$ per moth
Please say hi ...maybe we could make something out of this thread !
do not forget to answer the above Q

An italian song says: "Uno su mille ce la fa" ("one in a thousand makes it").
Well, I think one in a hundred thousand!

Would you sell your app ?

No, never; I would like to know a way to protect my app(s), by a copyright but I know that, at least with my specific one, loved and hated app, this is not possible.

Would you share your ideas just after testing a release with members of this comunity ?

I'm not sure of the meaning of this question.

I'm not sure of the meaning of this question.

When you publish an app and see if going well would you share your idea with us , if it starts to make money ?

This can not happen to me, I'm not that "one in a hundred thousand"

I think any of us could share "tricks" on how to make more money from their apps, but no one would do so if this depended on the "type" of app being published.

A good idea, that I should not write here , would be to create a small site where you promise to reveal the secrets to get more downloads and money... secrets to sell, of course.
I'm almost certain that you would earn more than publishing apps!

Perhaps giving rewards to those who share your app (dedicated button in the Main) can help.
Probably many would tap on the button without really sharing you app (link), but a percentage of them would do it.

Hoping that the dear Google has nothing to object!

if that flappy dude sold his app and trashed his own from the store I doubt he would still have hairs left that he didn't pull out.

some apps need time before they get know to the public.
only if you had already a successful app things will probably go faster as the players have an interest on what your next game is about.

the 200 installs per day doesn't mean you will earn more it just helps keeping your app visible in the store listings which lead to a constant feed of installs.

on the other hand if all those 200 users uninstall at the same day it's bad for your app rating aswell.

so the key is indeed a lot of players that keep playing your game for a while while new players roll in.

I do want to find someone that is willing to sell his money makeing app !

 

[sorex]

if they sell it then it's probably not earning enough anymore for them so that they want some quick cash for it instead.

Well, the standard price would probably be 3 or 5 years of revenue as the cost. So if a game is making €20 per day in ad revenue, then the dev should be asking for at least €21k for it. Unless they are selling the source code and not the actual game, then they should ask for much less.

When I started this thread I wanted to find out if there si someone that will accept to exchange app that is generating revenues.
Problem is that an app is generating 5$ / day for exemple the chance of having the same revenue by a second version of the app is low.
I wish that we could share the apps that make money with eachother in order to increase our revenue and doe not keep everything just for ourselves ...
Please tell me what do you think ...

Well,

Andy if you do have found soucess over the android market and still looking to increase your revenue why not changeing apps with other member that does same revenue as you ?

It seems like insane but,it might be not ....what does it happend if the app that is generating money will apear again on google play
Question will be who is willing to do this ? How will the apps be measured in terms of profitability

How am I be able to update ...
Let's imagine that we have our apps running to multiple accounts of diferent members and we are responsible for updating the app...same for the mate that will run his app on my account
Revenues can be transparent as well...of you can make money on a different acount then the money could be returned by paypal ...there are a lot of oportunities
Think about it , I would be so glad to be part of a new experiment

 

[hookshy]

I earn a lot by talking to you guys ...I think we could make more money together !

Look at Ketchapp.

They are probably the number 1 in copycatting apps/game_ideas and run away with the big money bag because they already have a huge fan base.
This fan base of millions cause that the original apps fade away in the listings quite fast.
