    Ive done it multiple times. This video is cynical and overly negative.
    Marketing doesn't require a large budget. I have multiple apps with millions of installs. I've had a top 10 app twice now in Google Play and Apple Appstore and spent $0 on marketing.
    You just have to be creative. Build something people NEED and be smart in how you get it in front of people. Dont listen to anyone who says it cant be done. ✌️

    Yeah, it's worth having an app in the store just to showcase it to the potential employers - uploading it as a money maker you would need a well defined product that brings good value to the user which is hard to build on your own.

    It's related to the app content and users niche. Developpers try to build small app to grow up their portfolio but building app that make you riche it's possible but you need idea and time, it's not just about coding,(strategy, conception, updates, ux, marketing...). By the way there are developers hwo make thousands of 💵 by month.

    I think this is true for the western developers where they can make 100k by freelancing or a job but for a developer in India apps can make a lot as the earnings are in dollars.

    Even though my first app wasn't about making money, it really taught me a lot over the last few years. It's a soundboard about a RUclipsr I still really like watching and at its peak it had about 30k users. First it dropped interest to about 20k. Now after 6 years and some time since the last update (1-2 years) the user count dropped to about 7k.
    Even keeping up with content updates gets pretty hard, when your priorities change over time. But I'm glad I've done it and still love working on the code once in a while 😊
