make money android
Now a days app store like Google play are filled with numerous android applications. Most of these applications have 2 different versions, First one is paid version which Smartphone users purchase by paying a significant amount of money. Another version is a free version, which is a basic cost free version of the same application. However, do you know, that these free versions also make money, sometimes more than paid version a day. I know many of you are wondering
that how is this possible. 

This is possible just because of ad networks that pay to the developer or publisher whenever any user installs the application or whenever he/she clicks on the ads.

1) Startapp: Startapp is one of the recommended ad networks by which you can make money quickly and easily. Startapp offers 3 ways for application monetization like SDK integration, Referral program and Exit ads.

1) Way 1 - SDK integration: This enables monetization on pay-per install basis. Moreover, offers 2 kinds of integration like partial integration and full integration.

Partial integration offers:

New user U.S = $0.04
New user non U.S = $ 0.008
Returning User U.S = $0.01
Returning User non U.s = $ 0.005

Full integration offers:

New user U.S = $0.055
New user non U.S = $ 0.01
Returning User U.S = $0.01
Returning User non U.s = $ 0.005

SDK integration can generate good income if you have an android application with huge downloads.

 2) Way 2 -Refferal Program: Startapp also offers a referral program by which you can earn money by just referring other developers. Referral program is quite good and looks like 

At 1,000 downloads + $25 
At 10,000 downloads +150 
At 100,000 downloads +$500 
At 1,000,000 downloads +$1,500 

3) Way 3 - Exit ads: The last but not the least monetization way of startapp is exit ads. Exit ads are full screen ads that displayed once an application is closed. The interesting thing about these ads is that they are impression based rather than click based.

2) Admob: Admob is an ad network by Google for android applications. It is a kind of adsense for mobile applications. The best thing about admob is its SDK that connects across famous ios, windows phone and android. Admob offers various ad formats with easy integration. But the worst thing about this ad network is that the eCPM and revenue is very low and support is very hard to reach. 

3) Aditic: Aditic has a good background in mobile advertising and marketing. The Aditic team is working from last 6 years to developing platforms for app developers. As a result, this ad network supports iOS, Android, Blackberry, Samsung Bada and even java based phones with good ad formats.

Final Verdict: 

Above all 3 mobile ad network, Startapp.com offers different ways of monetization as well as better income opportunities than other android ad networks. Therefore, every app developer must try it to earn some bucks full of money with their free android applications.
