Last week I was very surprised when clicked a link to create Google Checkout account and found my country on the list – as till then Poland has not been officially supported. We have been allowed to add free apps to Android Market but could not sell anything! I have immediately filled all forms and registered account on my country with my legal business name and address. Unfortunately I could not add my bank account number as it was not accepted by the form. I could not find any official news anywhere on the Internet about new countries. Moreover message asking me about my AdSense account number has been popping up on my Android Market console.

Over a month ago I have shared two Android Developers Success stories of my loyal followers. Today I would like to publish one more email received by Android Developer that has achieved income close $1000.00 per month. He has been kind enough to provide screenshot of his Admob stats with exact description of his revenue periods. Make sure you read this post to the end for a chance of getting free copy of my “Make Money on Android” eBook.
As you may know there are no many success stories written by the Android developers. Regular readers of my blog already know my success story (see my monthly Android Developer Income Reports for details). But what is main reason of not hearing much about developers making money on Android? That most of them do not write their own blogs and do not have places to share!
As I have promised to all my eBook readers updated version of my “Make Money on Android” marketing guide is ready. Just from now it is available in the download area for all of people who already bought it (under same link that has been provided after paying for the eBook). If you are not a one that has already decided to get it – you still have a chance.
Despite the fact that I have partially answered that in one of my earlier posts (Is it hard to become an Android developer…?) – I am still getting a lot of questions asking me how to become an Android developer. It is why I have decided to write about this once again. I know that the hardest in Android development is the beginning. I has been in the same situation and I lost a lot of time just to find the short intro that would tell me where should I start. In this post I will try to answer you by showing you the path. You will not learn anything right here – but you will know where should you start your adventures with this little funny Android robot (I bet you will like him sooner or later!).
I am happy to announce that my eBook marketing report “Make Money on Android” has been finished! From now on it is publicly available and can be purchased from my blog!
So if you wish you could make over $1500.00 per month on Android Apps this eBook is for you!
Update #2: My eBook has been released! You may get it from this link “Make Money on Android“. Comments to this post has been closed!
Old post:
In most of my posts I am just sharing information about Android, my online income and Android market revenue. I am giving you a lot of information. As some of you have sad in your comments some are inspiring and some are just useful. This post is other than the rest. This time you won’t learn anything new. This time I will ask you about something. But I will give you something in return as well. I will give you free copies of my new ebook about making money with Android (with free apps!).
My last post (Android Developer Income Report) caused a lot of questions about how to jump into Android apps development. It is very surprising for me as earnings I have presented are not even close to most of iPhone developers income. Anyway the future of Android developers is looking very bright and there is a lot of space for new applications ideas… So if you are still really interested in making Android development a serious source of your monthly income this post may be helpful as a starting point… Here are statements I have read before I started to develop for Android…
A lot of people says that there is no real money in the Android development. They say that if you want to make money you should write for iPhone, iPad and all other iThings… This is not true! I am not a one of guys that is making thousands of dollars but my income seems to be steady and is still growing.
Moreover I am not one of top developers nor any of my apps have been promoted by Android Market. I am just an one among of thousands of Android developers with not to well known apps. And what may be really surprising all my apps are free as Google do not allow developers from my country (Poland) to sell apps via Android Market!
It looks that the world got crazy because of rumors caused by yesterday tweet from HTC_NL that is official Netherlands twitter account. Moreover HTC webpage for China has been updated with information that HTC Desire phone will be shipped with Android 2.2. Both information has been confirmed by engadget – that may be considered as a trustworthy source of news.
