ADMOB

Monetizing apps is a way to capitalize on your creative ideas and get a financial return on your investment for building an App. To achieve this goal, Google AdMob is a great tool.
Whether you are an app developer or an entrepreneur who has invested heavily in app development, monetization is a subject of interest. However, sometimes it’s hard to get objective information on this topic.
What is Google AdMob?
Google AdMob is an app monetization platform created by Google. It is a very accessible platform that can be a good entry point for those who are starting to monetize applications.
You can start monetizing the free version of your app with AbMob without necessarily requiring a specific number of downloads or users.
Google AdMob will send ads to your application, which once viewed or clicked on by your users, will generate monthly revenue that the platform will transfer to your bank account.
Google AdMob is ideal if your app has a free version, meaning your user can access some of your content for free.
So the free portion of your content, which is not part of the premium monthly fee, would be monetized by AdMod ads.
Examples:
- I have an application for learning English, and I charge a monthly fee starting on the third module of learning activities.
- To have free access to the first 3 modules, the user just needs to download the App first.
- These free modules will show AdMob ads.
The second case scenario in which AdMob is ideal is if your app offers completely free content. For example:
- I have an application that turns images into PDF files.
- To access this functionality, the user simply downloads the App.
- In this case, the App will show AbMob ads to all users.
How to monetize your app with Google AdMob?
Approval
To approve an app on Google AdMob, you’ll need to see if your App complies with the AdMob and Google AdSense Program Policies. Please read the policies and review your application before submitting it for approval.
It is preferred that your app is ready to download from current Google and Apple stores and that it is ready to receive your users. This way you prevent your application from being rejected.
After that, just log into the AdMob website and sign up.
