Need advice to monetize my traffic

abhishek613 · 26th Feb 2014, 02:10 AM

Hi guys,
I am an Indian developer, I have several apps in googleplay, with totally about 100,000 active users per day. I want to make money from my app by ad, because my apps are free. Any advice for me?

For developers looking to acquire new users, you should:
1. Know your campaign goals. Do you want to drive a lot of users at once (who will most likely be low-quality), or drive high-LTV users that will spend a lot of money in your app?
2. Know the demographic of your high-LTV users. This will help you and your ad network to target your campaign more effectively.
3. Choose an ad network that matches with your campaign goals and user demographics. Various ad networks specialize in various types of user acquisition. Tapjoy, the largest player in the space, specializes in driving a lot of user installs at once, but those are most likely low-LTV users. Others specialize in targeting and more engaging ads that drive higher LTV users.

Worth trying

RachitS · 26th Feb 2014, 02:34 AM

You tell me.
Admob is a good start to get your feet wet, after this, you can try different networks to build up your unique portfolio.

abhishek613 · 26th Feb 2014, 03:16 AM

Thanks SohanM, I just check Inmobi, you are from India?
My friend tells me he is working with Mobvista promoting mobogenie ads and baidu ads, also work with UCWEB ads. Both of them are good. Do you have such kind of ads?
How can I start?

Sohan from InMobi here. Congrats on having so many users on your app! With that big a user base you can start monetizing your app by showing ads on it.

Depending on what type of app yours is, you can start showing different ads. You have options such as banner, interstitials and now even video and native ads. Basically you will get more money for more number of ad clicks within your app.

You can take a look here for details: Mobile Monetization | High eCPMs | App Developers | InMobi

If you need more help, feel free to contact me

abhishek613 · 26th Feb 2014, 04:10 AM

Thank Jonathan and Olaf, I will try Admob as a start.

However, as a general rule - always integrate with more than 1 network. Admob may be safe & easy, but they are not known for high eCPMs.

I can recommend you all to use appnext for interstitial or not SDK solutions, but the main point is - go with more then 1 monetization solution. Always.

Hello @abhishek613. You should definitely try Pollfish. Pollfish is a new innovative monetization method that delivers surveys instead of ads. Developers gain $0.3 for each completed survey through their app. If you need more info just drop me a message.

abhishek613 · 27th Feb 2014, 01:55 AM

I checked your mainpage, you are a survey provided company? How can I work with you. By the way, I have integrate Admob and Mobvsita SDK.

Hi @abhishek613. Thanks for your response! We are a monetization platform for mobile apps, but instead of ads we deliver surveys and give gifts to your users for completing them!

The really exciting thing here is that you can use Pollfish along with the ad networks you already use since Pollfish offers minimal intrusion and lives well with other platforms!

You just have to drag and drop Pollfish SDK into your app and call init (yeap its that easy

) and then start gaining extra revenue! If you need any help during integration just drop me a message or email me at andreas@pollfish.com, I will be happy to help!

What's your app about? Try to cross-sell something if possible

abhishek613 · 1st Mar 2014, 08:25 AM

Thank you, would you tell me which ad network you work with, also, what apps are you promoting for now?

abhishek613 · 1st Mar 2014, 08:34 AM

Thanks, I know Inmobi is a great ad network, but the pay period is too long(45 days), what's more pay period of admob is 60 days!!! While with Mobvista, they pay by weekly, release payment every monday.

We have access to a whole lot of global brands as well as premium publishers that will advertise on your app. InMobi is the world's largest independent ad network. I agree with some of the other comments in the thread in that you might want to try having a couple of different ad networks when monetizing. InMobi provides mediation so that you can show traffic from Admob, Mopub, Burstly and Chartboost.

abhishek613 · 1st Mar 2014, 08:37 AM

Sorry, I am working with Admob and Mobvista for now. I will try Pollfish when I finished my new apps.

Hey abhishek613 thank you for your message. No problem. However have in mind that you can use Pollfish along with Admob and Mobvista since it leaves well with these platforms and provides minimal intrusion. This can just bring to you extra revenue!

abhishek613 · 5th Mar 2014, 03:08 AM
