My New Year Resolution: 1 Million Naira A Month From Android App Dev In 2015 by nollyj: 1:18pm On Dec 19, 2014 |
I know this will not make sense to most people and some will even question if people make money from their android apps in Nigeria. The truth is that some Nigerians make money from their mobile apps the same way some developers in Nigeria are making from web application development. I started developing android apps by chance late 2013 when a friend told me that he needed a simple android app. With no knowledge of android or mobile development, I went into research and started reading how to develop mobile application. Many months went by before I could wrap my head on it. When I finished with the project months later I decided that mobile application development will be fun to be doing as part-time projects. I started trying my hands on two different types of applications. When I finished developing the applications I felt some sense of accomplishment. I quickly paid for a publisher account and hosted my apps in Google Play. I kept waiting to see downloads coming but I was disappointed months after. Negative thought of quitting android development came in but I was like since I am doing it part-time let me continue because I do not have much to lose even if I did not make any money. I took some time out trying to understand why some developers have very successful apps in the store and why my apps are just getting 1 to 5 downloads a day. The more I read and research the better I understand how the Google Play market works. I changed my mind set about the kind of ideas I previously have in mind to different categories of android apps. After three months of release I started seeing good result. But what happen subsequently surprised me. I started making more money that I previously thought. The result actually gave me hope to do some more apps. This is end of 2014, a year and some months since I started developing mobile apps. My monthly revenue from my apps is around 200,000 – 250,000 Naira with almost (400,000 downloads) Come 2015, I have taken a decision to push this revenue to 1 million Naira a month. I know the question in your mind is how will I achieve this? I do understand that it will be difficult but I believe I can do it. I have made a long list of android apps and games I will develop next year and if many become successful I will be on my way to hit this target. I will describe and document everything that I am doing to achieve this target on my blog (http://inducesmile.com/blog/) and other interesting information that can help make a mobile app successful. As a developer, have you drawn up your target for 2015? If you have and want to share, please kindly come forward and do so. I wish you all happy Christmas and successful 2015 2 Likes 1 Share |

But isnt it um going to create artificial excitemnt in most ppl looking for a fast buck online reading statemnts like this? Now everybody is going to wanna learn android developmnt for d money. Theyll b a glut and a crash and a dry up/mkt shke dwn. Reminds of wen web developmnt was the gold mine and web devs were snatchg gud money. There was a rush and (the rest is history ... ). |

asalimpo: Em, even if everybody develops websites there are still those that charge megabucks for building web applications not the #10k prices u see allover lagos,so if u like run go learn android if u do not knw wat to develop,market yrself and think constructively, u will still be begging to create apps, Read the post well, he is building apps that people will be interested in and will want to pay so it is not enough to knw it, people are will to pay for it [like coke the higher the price the more we buy ] S ideas is the main thing,and for the fear of over populating the market,go and check play store, u go see apps tire don't 4get android don enta market since 2010,so Nigeria still be learner. Kudos to nollyj for the app competition, i like yr hussle 3 Likes |

Re: My New Year Resolution: 1 Million Naira A Month From Android App Dev In 2015 by asalimpo(m): 10:09pm On Dec 23, 2014 |
trytillmake:i checked nollyj's apps, it seems all are for free. The profit in any business is made bf the sellers are crowded, oversupply reduces margin for all sellers. The stock mrket crashed in 2008 cuz many people were flocking into it. The web design market has crashed too compared to how it was wen the industry was young. But lets see how the dynamics play out in the playstore. A large number of buyers n sellers cud level off d dynamics. |

nollyj:bro I have been hearing of Android apps you can use to build apk's I have two of such apps on my phone, Aide and terminal ide, my question is how effective are these mobile apps for a beginner who wants to build android apps, secondly can you put me through the materials you read to achieve this great feat, thanks |
Re: My New Year Resolution: 1 Million Naira A Month From Android App Dev In 2015 by nollyj: 11:23pm On Dec 27, 2014 |
Meklex: The apps are good but you cannot compare them with IDE running in a computer. There are many ebooks you can download online for android development. You can also follow my blog. I post android tutorial everyday. http://inducesmile.com/blog/ |

Hmm, all your apps are free, and so how the hell do you make money of free stuff? This is interesting, please assist me here. Does google pay you to make free apps? or maybe you get paid by google for each download even if the app is free? |

nollyj, your post is inspiring oh! Im a total newbie, never used java before....how long do you think it would take me a resourceful app if i put in some considerable time everyday? |

tooltip: With Android, even two hours you will be programming your own calculators. Everything is made easy, you don;t really need to know Java as itself but have some Object Oriented Programming knowledge. |
