Write an app and earn from ads

๐Ÿ“ฑ How to Write an App and Earn from Ads – Step-by-Step


✅ Step 1: Choose a Profitable App Idea

Pick something:

  • Simple but useful (tools, calculators, habit trackers)

  • Fun or addictive (games, puzzles, trivia)

  • Niche-focused (local services, education, language learning)

App TypeMonetization Potential
Calculator/UtilityHigh ad impressions
Casual GameHigh usage + rewarded ads
Learning AppHigh session time
Wallpaper AppHigh download volume
Journal or TrackerRoom for upsell + ads



✅ Step 2: Build the App (No-Code or Code)

Option 1: Use No-Code Tools (Beginner-friendly)

  • Thunkable, Adalo, Kodular, Glide (for mobile apps)

  • Many allow you to add AdMob ads easily

Option 2: Code It Yourself

Use:

  • Flutter (Dart) – cross-platform (iOS & Android)

  • React Native (JavaScript)

  • Android Studio (Java/Kotlin)

  • Xcode (Swift for iOS)

๐Ÿ› ️ If you're not a developer, I can help you write the core app logic or prototype to get started.


✅ Step 3: Integrate Ad Network (Like Google AdMob)

Popular mobile ad networks:

  • AdMob (by Google) – best for Android/iOS

  • Unity Ads – best for games

  • Facebook Audience Network

  • AppLovin, IronSource, Chartboost

You can use:

  • Banner ads – appear at top/bottom

  • Interstitial ads – full-screen, between screens

  • Rewarded ads – users watch ads for in-app rewards

Example (Flutter + AdMob):

dart
MobileAdTargetingInfo targetingInfo = MobileAdTargetingInfo( keywords: <String>['productivity', 'games', 'learning'], childDirected: false, ); BannerAd myBanner = BannerAd( adUnitId: BannerAd.testAdUnitId, size: AdSize.banner, targetingInfo: targetingInfo, listener: (MobileAdEvent event) { print("BannerAd event: $event"); }, );

✅ Step 4: Publish on App Stores

๐Ÿ“Œ Add good screenshots, an engaging description, and keywords for ASO (App Store Optimization)

500,000+50,000+$100 – $500+/day

๐ŸŽฏ Tips to Maximize Revenue

  • Add rewarded video ads (they earn more than banners)

  • Improve user retention (add daily rewards or streaks)

  • Use ASO to get organic installs (keywords, reviews)
