[Q] How do Mobile Ad Networks put ads in our apps? - General Monetization

I make apps with tasker and I want to put them up on Play store in order to earn bucks, but they are not good/useful enough to sell directly. So I need to put ads and as far as I have read, I have to contact an ad network or two. But the problem is that I don't have programming knowledge at all! All I know is to make series of tasks and scenes in tasker and export them with tasker app factory so I have an apk file in the end.
I can make almost all apps which are usually seen in the top free apps' trends in Play Store.
So, how will I put their ads? Do they give something which involves the use of Android SDK? Or can I give them my apk file so they will incorporate their ads for me? (this doesn't seem safe though).
One solution for this may be that they give me HTML for the ad so I can put it in tasker's HTML box, but then the ad networks won't be sure if their ads are showed properly or I am showing something else over the HTML box.
Also, do I have to pay the ad networks in advance or do they only take the share from the advertisements' earnings?

UPDATE: I have learned how to develop real android apps using java and I have been uploading my apps with the name "Apps By Usman".
I thank everyone for the replies and I want to let everyone know that although I personally do not require an answer to this thread now, anyone who can share information about tasker apps and their monetization should write a reply for those visitors who would be needing such answer.

the post is like 4 months old, so i don't know if you still need the answers, but since nobody answered yet, i guess i'll just try, who knows if it helps you or anybody else.
i never used tasker before, but as far as i know, ads network company is providing sdk we have to include in our development project, some company like millenial media (i don't know about other company though) even providing step by step instruction of how to put their ads into our application on their website.
from your question, i assume tasker is something like game maker or app maker, sorry if i'm wrong, well, since i've some experience in using game maker also, just in case i'm right, in game maker, if they support putting ads into application, usually they include some option to do so, and the sdk from the ads network company is already included, i don't know if tasker have something like this.
hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply, tasker is not a development environment, it is just an app which lets us invoke different functions of phone on a step by step manner, and even lets us export these sets of actions as apk files.
I have, however, found that there is a very little possibility for banner ads in it. So I have now learnt coding in java and I am now making apps in java.
The answer to this question, if someone else is interested is that tasker can invoke html banner ads with the help of webview object if your preferred ad network supports this format, but to make real and native apps, we need to learn java.

if anyone needs to integrate ads in your tasker aps contact us.we have developed a plugin to help you.

admob?

You can get benefits by advertising.
Each advertising platform, there will be a detailed access way and their own SDK,

I am willing to monetize my app made with Tasker, is there any easy easy way to insert or inject ads into the apk without codes?

As for paying the ad networks- are you looking to advertise your product or publish advertisements on your app? I guess it depends how many users you have! If you want to both promote your app and monetize your audience base, you should consider choosing a cross-promotional advertising company. I can give suggestions, but for now I suggest you google App cross promotion companies and pick the one that is best for you.
As for the tool kit, it again depends on the company, but a good company will have the option of SDK, API S2S, open RTB, JS tag, etc

ad mediation !!
hey , if still need answer , ther is some mediation website where you upload your apk and they put their sdk in it with some banner or interstitel ads but still limited as tyou can't control where ads will show up, only at the begining or the exit .

So being this thread has been revived, Ad networks do not put ads in your apps, you have to put the ad networks into your app. This is normally done by taking hours and hours of your precious time coding a SDK into your project. Boring.....
Using Enhance, you can now integrate all of the services that providers offer without ever having to touch an SDK again. With little to NO coding at all and without touching source code, Enhance® is the easiest way to integrate 3rd party services into your project or to keep them up to date. (Ads, Mediation, Analytics, Attribution, Crash Reporting and more) No more SDK integration!!!
We even have a "ZERO CODE" option for certain features!!!

The point is being able to choose the placement and format for in-app ads easily. That's why mediation works so well.

Graduation project

Hello all, I have a question about developing an application for my graduation project. The idea is to develop an application in which the various books/information sources get a place and can be placed under different semesters/years. The information as provided has to have an easy way of updating for teachers(probbebly web-based). The aplication also has to work on iOS. Can you guys give me an idea on how to start i think HTML5 is a good option.
For cross platform application you can try PhoneGap(phonegap.com) with Dojo (dojotoolkit.org).
Front end is only half!

HTML5 will be great, but it will be difficult for a school to update as a native app. I suggest simply using a mobile-ready website. jQuery Mobile is great for this, and it handles all the cross platform issues. Have you given any consideration to serverside code? Php, .Net, and Node.js are all great options. Talk with an administrator about what kind of system they use to store files & links currently. You could fairly simply make a page that scans a file share they maintain to build the page .
Are all current (including budget) phones capeble of running .net or PHP? I'll probebly host the site/app myselve for a while during the test phase so if i go web-based it will be PHP since my host is a linux host. I'll have a look tomorrow, I'm studying to be an officer on a ship not an programmer so all programming is new, I did some vb/php but nothing fancy.
i started with icenium, but found out that icenium doesn't offer to store the webfiles on your own server. So thats not an option.

You should check out Avocarrot http://www.avocarrot.com
What I can tell you is that AdColony is really useful for "friendly user in-app purcheses". If you do not have any kind of bonuses go for AdMob. I am not too experienced so don't take my word for sure. It is just what I feel.
Hi,
I think if you upload your app to Google Play, you should use AdMob because with other ad networks, your app could be have some ads which illegal terms and conditions of Google Play Store.
IMO AdMob is by far the best and safest option.
Try it yourself several networks - dynamically connect / disconnect them through admob mediation.
The profitability of the network depends on the type of application. I have two applications,
for the first application gives more income - admob, for the second - mmedia.
If I were you, I'd choose AdMob or InMobi or AirPush. They have each pros and cons but overall, they're good.
I will recomand AdMob, it's by far safest.
Thanks for the recco @Tramphram
OP aka @glascor, I work for InMobi so if you need any help, do write to us at developer at inmobi.com and we can help you out. Love the community here
I will also recommend Admob for a start but I heard some good feedback about Mopub which you can attach your Admob account.
Recommend to Admob, it's safety and great support.
I have used Admob, StartApp, and Adsota. And here is my opinion:
Very safe, but low on earnings: Admob
Safe, high on earning: Adsota
Safe, various ad format, acceptable earnings: StartApp
I didn't use that, but heard Admob and eCPM are bad, and mobfax is ok. you can try.

How exactly are you monetizing uninstalls? Wont that be very annoying for the user? First they hate my app and don't want it, and then they need to watch some type of ad too? Doesn't sound like a good way to get good reviews...
Exactly my thoughts
Uninstall Monetization
$$$$$$$$$
Actually find a new way wanted your opinion about.
I have my flag app with over 1M install called Signal Boosters (Fred Baker)
I was trying to monetize creating my own offerwall and taking offers from the networks, long story, that didn't really hit the jackpot for me.
I had a huge problem of uninstalls (70%) since the walls didn't really work so I got really interested in the uninstall event and how to capture it.
Over a year I was able to capture the uninstall event using and launch a browser at the moment of uninstallation without leaving any traces or processes running on the devices afterwards (no trojans or anything that gets you banned)
(I saw some very popular and known apps use this implementation to survey the users that uninstalled and that was my inspiration)
I wasn't sure how to use it without pissing off someone and if it's actually allowed so I integrated it in my app and never talked to anyone about it.
A month ago or so I came across a company called APPJOLT doing exactly that.
I registered and entered their dashboard and saw they developed a whole system around this technique with the purpose to offer your users an incentive to come back to your app or cross-promote to other apps.
They have an option for free cross-promotion campaign so it hit me right away I can use their system with a CPI offer I took for my offerwall from one of the networks, so at the moment of uninstall it will show the offer and I will get paid for it.
I couldn't believe it but it worked, I see almost 1K uninstalls a day and generate around 70 conversions which generates $30-50 a day.
Not sure if I hit gold or not, just wanted to ask the members of this forum how can I improve this flow? or am I missing anything?
$$$$$$$$$
Please be aware that it might be against google policy. There is no notification about that your app has been uninstalled (or the uninstallation started), so they use background service that checkes if the user is currently trying to uninstall your app. Also, the earnings reported here are very high (eCPM $30 - $50), while ad networks pay usually between $1 - $3 for interstitial ads, I don't think you can get such high eCPM for uninstallations, I would expect something at least 10x lower.
Cool idea but it's hard to make it practical and implement it. So, how exactly are you monetizing from uninstalls I wonder..
I can guaranty you that you will get A LOT of 1 star. I will for sure install the game again just to give it 1 star.

How to make money from app?

Hi everybody!
I am a developer and want to monetize my app.
Can you advice me ad networks? or other ways to do that?
Thank you so much!
2 ways
There are two main ways to make money from mobile app.
One: you create an app and charge people for using it. You decide they should pay you through app purchase or in-app purchase. People usually don't buy an app unless it's very popular. So I suggest you offer in-app purchase. You can let them use one part of the app free (to make them like it) and pay money to use the app completely.
Two: you create a free app and allow advertisers to put their ad in your app. You and advertisers will work through a mediate platform. I have used 3 mobile ad platform: Admob, StartApp, Adsota. And I recommend Adsota & Admob. StartApp is ok but the 2 other two just work better for me,
In case you want to show video ads, instead of banners/pictures. I heard that AdColony is great for video advertising. But haven't used it myself yet.
We are living in 2015, so now free-app model much more popular, then paid
Admob + In-app purchases is the best way, I suppose
In XDA, there is a thread "how to monetize your android application". that is to tell you how to monetize your application. that worth you to read if you want to make money from App.
3 ways is minimum
You should cover all users. Some can pay, some can watch video to get some features in your app, other can see banner or other static ads. The main thing is your app's quality. Good luck!
I would recommend adding ads to your app and create a version that users can buy to remove the ads, win win situation
An amazing website!

Hello! There are many sites like admob.
You should try to promote your app using companies like "Waypedia". They even make a marketing strategy for your app!
Work on building brand awareness by making profiles in the social networks, set up a website, use Google Adwards, create a blog for the user, etc.
best is admob

Hi there!
There are a bunch of ad networks that are doing pretty good job. But have you consider to work with multiple ad networks at the same time? One way should be signing up on each ad network a be sure that you don't miss any possible and potential revenue. But there's an intelligent way to do that, this is, trying Programmatic Mediation. There are few good companies like Fyber, Sueprsonic or Appodeal, the one I am using and the one I am completely satisfied.
Whatever you choose, the advantages are clear:
- 1 sign up, 1 SDk all the market
- Higher incomes because they operate globally
- Higher fillrate because the pool of advertisers is the biggest, because you will work with all of them
- Because everythiong in Mediation is programmatic you will have more time to focus on developing than managing your ad inventory
- Probably your earning will boost
Ping me if I can help you by providing more info
Cheers!
Tips for making money from app -
1.The Freemium Upsell. This requires having a second version of your app that's paid

App monetization
Hi!
As many have said, the main ways of making money for your app are : adding IAP and work with ad networks. Our company has recently launched a FREE WiFI SDK for developers-this SDK will help you both increase user retention and ad revenue as we work with some ad networks. If you are interested in integrating the SDK, please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or check out WeShare WiFi SDK.
We'd love to hear from you and help your app grow
Cheers!

I would like to monetize my app thanks to Admob, mMedia or Inmobi. Advantages and drawbacks of these mediate platforms?

By being connected to most ad exchanges and mediators in the industry, our Clickky team strives to maximize fill rates of our publishers and; therefore, to increase their revenue. We'll adapt to your preferences – in case your fill rates are low in, for example, the European region – we'll make sure to provide you with an appropriate demand and so much more...
It also depends on your app - what does it do?
If it's a game with somewhat fast level clearing(~1-3 minutes), you could add an interstiital every 3 levels or so.
Add a top/bottom banner and an in-app purchase to remove them completely.
For games you can also reward in-game coins for the user if they watch a video ad. Think there was an article regarding this -> and it was the least intrusive ad, most people would watch a video ad if they got some sort of in-game reward.

Different monetization models for mobile apps:
Premium: users pay to have access the app.
Freemium: there is a "free" limited version of the app for the users to test before they decide to get the full version.
Subscriptions: payments are made weekly/monthly/yearly.
In-app advertising: keeps the app free to play, developers profit implementing ads in different formats (banner, native, videos, interstitials, etc.)
In-app purchases: users need to pay to have access to certain elements or special features of the app. But the app itself is still free.
All of these models can be combined. Experienced developers have had good results mixing in-app ads with in-app purchases.
The most popular monetization model is in-app ads (free to play). To implements this model in your app you can choose an ad network, or go with mediation.
I would say mediation is the best you can do, since it makes several ad networks compete in real time, so you can get the highest paying bid. Try Appodeal! You can integrate various ad networks in one stable SDK. And with the help of their 24/7 support team, installing it in your app should be fast and easy.

about ads

Hello great people to all my friends and developers at XDA I need to ask you about two big topics today and very important
The first is that we all know that there are a lot of companies that add application ads, such as GoogleAds, Unityads...) and a lot of the question is how can I remove the ads SDK for any applications, since I have root on my device and I can access the APK files, how can I remove the ads remove it from apps.
I used to rely later on applications such as Lucky Patcher to block Google ads, but now the situation has extended to different companies, and it has become difficult to block ads completely, so please advise me haw i can do it.
The second topic, in your opinion, is the easiest way to understand and learn the language of the flutter and Dart.
