How to earn money from home with apps?
There are two easiest ways to earn money with apps:
1. Advertising
The most popular way to get income from apps, more than 50% of apps make their fortune that way. It’s a great approach to earn money without making your users spend money (isn’t it important in times of quarantine and uncertainty?). Users enjoy your content in the application, you get income for ads. It looks like a win-win situation for a user and developer. Usually advertising takes form of full-screen or small banners or videos. The income is generated per impressions and clicks of ads in your application.
Therefore, the more installs and usages you provide, the more money you get.
The best and the easiest platform to start getting earnings from mobile ads is AdMob by Google. It won’t take a long time to sign in and place ads into your app.

Converting your website, Facebook page or creating a business card in application format is easier than you think. But the benefits are obvious and huge: with an app, you can more engage clients, keep them coming back and generate more revenue (why not to try to double your income!).
If you don’t have a business, you can create it. You can sell clothes, electronics, betting tips or any other item or service.

To make a successful application you should plan it and come up with a strong concept. For example, you can go on Google Play to research popular apps or go to Google Trends to find a popular niche among your local community (country, city). Research what is popular now in conditions of COVID-19 pandemic: what people are searching for while sitting at home. It could be online shopping, education, online fitness, movies, tv-series, etc. Remember, if you want to make your app popular and make enough money, you need to offer your audience the real value – it means the content that they will use.
