I just wrote a new android application and I'm looking into how I can get more downloads and more exposure. I have a free app and a paid version of the app. It changes your wallpaper every day, any tips from successful developers out there? How much money do you make per day? Did the money you make taper off or did you make more money as time went on?
I'm basically just looking for advice on how to get my app out there and for information on how apps make money!
I'm no developer, but I've found great success with advertising on facebook/twitter. If you have a decent amount of facebook friends or twitter followers, make a page on facebook and invite all your friends to "like" your app/download it and tell your twitter friends about it. Word of mouth: The best free advertising around.
I have created a very good app (not just my opinion), which is perfect for the upcoming holidays. However, I am afraid that my app will go unnoticed, but may be of interest to the editors of Google Play.
Tell me please, how can I can to contact them?
no chances((
I don't think your can just email them to have it include as an editor's choice. It kind of defeats the purpose of it being a choice. They seek out apps to include as their selections and choose the most worthy. You'd have to have not just a very good app but an amazing app for it to be included.

Hi guys, I found a nice app on the Google Play, namely App Gratis. I would like to share it with you all.
P. S. I'm just sharing the work of Sean.
Originally on Google Play
Description
1. AppGratis- every day a FREE app!
That gratis on the name is no lie, our app of the day will always be FREE!
...plus get discounts of up to 90% off on unmissable apps
2. What is AppGratis?
AppGratis is an app discovery platform for me to let you know about the coolest apps I find and negotiate just for you... by turning them to FREE! The deals are for 24 hours only though, so you better not miss my app of the day!
3. Who does all the work for AppGratis?
Well, thanks for asking! I'm Sean, nice to meet you! I spend my days searching around Play Store to discover hidden gems that may have gone unnoticed, or to bring you the latest buzz in the world of apps! This is the story of one man with his Android, testing 3 apps at the same time while his cat is trying to climb onto his head... You'll find it all in AppGratis...
4. What will I find in AppGratis?
Every type of app and maybe a bad joke from me! From cool arcade games to logic puzzle apps, from alarm clock apps to currency converter apps, and from translating apps to apps that make useful widgets! Did I mention that I just never stop looking for really cool and useful apps?
i. Frequent "freemium giveaways" like free in-app purchases, level unlocks, and other cool stuff you would normally have to pay for.
ii. Benefit from my huge network of app developer contacts from all over the world to get the best apps out there for FREE!
iii. Every single app is hand-picked and tested thoroughly(by a real human being!).
iv. Only one push notification a day. No exceptions, just a reminder as the app of the day will only be there for 24 hours!
If you've got any questions, declarations, want to propose an app, or you accidentally sat on your phone, I can be reached day or night at [email protected].

Hey guys,
Are you and what are the best ways of monetization for online or app games?
One of the best ways to monetize a game is going to be ads. However, the trick is not ruining the players experience with ads. One strategy used successfully by developers is implementing Rewarded Video Ads. This way, the player chooses to see the ad. It isn't forced on them. Throwing a few ads here and there isn't bad but as a game player, I can't stand ads and have no real issues with sitting through a video ad when I was the one who chose to do so.
Good luck!
Yes, I agree with you. And what is getting more revenue, ads or some platforms? What is your opinion about that?
There is always a struggle with what network to choose. Sometimes what performs well on android is completely different than on iOS. This is one of the reasons that Enhance can help out in finding the right network.
Using Enhance®, you can now integrate all of the services that different providers offer without ever having to touch an SDK again. With little to NO coding at all and without touching source code, Enhance® is the easiest way to integrate 3rd party services into your project or to keep them up to date. (Ads, Mediation, Analytics, Attribution, Crash Reporting and more) No more SDK integration!!!
Now you can find the right network for you on either platform without having to integrate SDKs over and over and over and over and over and over again.
Thanks for the nice answer. Thank you for your suggestion, but I'm a programmer and I was working in web and app development, for apps I was using Android Studio, which is really good for creating apps. Probably I will try iOS apps too, but after I learn this a little better.
I really don´t like video ads when I´m watching a TV show or a movie- it disrupts the experience and I get nothing back from that time. But the object of rewarded video ads is to be intrusive but not disruptive, meaning it does take time but hopefully it will take place between levels or after some sort of achievement. And then, of course, the player is ´rewarded´with points or game lives, etc, so it´s kind of like being paid for time. Not the same thing, eh?

I must agree with you, I also don't like when I get ads in front of my screen while watching some YouTube video, some movie online or something else, because of that AdBlock is really good, you can also set it that some sites give you ads (like Forbes, where you need to enter with AdBlocker off). And about your question, that is the situation in gaming, but that is all right, if you want to spend your time on that for your reward, why not, but I must say that I have seen just once a really good ad on YouTube in the most cases they are annoying and time-consuming, because of that I've installed addon.

That´s a good point. I always, always mean to use the Adblocker whenever I´m using Youtube and an ad pops up. But then I think that if everyone used the Adblocker, then Youtube might lose enough money that they would start charging for their service?? Does anyone see that ever happening?

It makes sense, but not much, they can do however they want. Probably you and I are thinking differently from others. I was seeing a lot of people that don't use AdBlocker, they piss out when the ad comes, but they DON'T WANT AdBlocker, so there are a lot of people that are watching those ads. Even if YouTube change their policy for ads, that won't be something drastic and the new plugin would come out for that also. I don't believe they will lose some serious money because of that, but I didn't investigate that, maybe someone knows more
Hello! I've been looking for a reliable unlimited app cloner app WITHOUT a bunch of ads and other annoying stuff, but I haven't been able to find one yet. I use a large amount of clones in my work but all that's available are a bunch of third-part ads FILLED with bugs and advertising, all with super low ratings.
I'm surprised there aren't any really good, open-source Android cloner apps out there. Well at least I haven't been able to find any.
So now I ask you, can you please give me a good open-source app cloning program for Android? Everything on the Google Play store is completely useless.
Thanks!
I nedd that also no one can help us
