๐ฑ 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 Type | Monetization Potential |
---|---|
Calculator/Utility | High ad impressions |
Casual Game | High usage + rewarded ads |
Learning App | High session time |
Wallpaper App | High download volume |
Journal or Tracker | Room 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)
๐ ️ 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):
✅ Step 4: Publish on App Stores
Platform | Publishing Fee | Notes |
---|---|---|
Google Play Store | $25 one-time | Android, easier approval |
Apple App Store | $99/year | Stricter guidelines |
๐ Add good screenshots, an engaging description, and keywords for ASO (App Store Optimization)
๐ฐ How Much Can You Earn from Ads?
Installs | Daily Active Users (DAU) | Est. Daily Earnings (AdMob) |
---|---|---|
5,000 | 500 | $2 – $10/day |
50,000 | 5,000 | $20 – $100/day |
500,000+ | 50,000+ | $100 – $500+/day |
Depends on ad type, user location (US/UK > Asia/Africa), and user engagement
๐ฏ 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)
-
Localize the app to more languages (bigger reach)
