First of all I'm not promoting myself or anything... Just personal experience. I'm currently 21 and just finished highschool 2 years back. I've been doing some app/web/game development for the past 6 years as a hobby which I turned into my full time Job now. 

I won't lie, it wasn't easy because I made a bunch of apps, developed websites for clients, made simple mobile and PC games until I reached the verge of giving up... which I never did.

I made a few successful apps, (for personal reasons I won't disclose any) which got suspended, removed and accounts terminated from both the iOS App Store and Android Play Store.

It was still 2 years ago when God answered my prayers. I made a simple iOS daily usage App which fixed a tiny problem for many people out there who needed it, and guess I was the first person to make it...? I guess... But it worked.

First week I got around 20,000+ daily users and $17K from in App Purchases. Later on I decided to implement Google Admob ads to the app, which worked great and I was surprised by the results.

The screenshot attached shows a 7day earnings period and past months earnings from my single iOS app through Google ads, and I make around $130K to $160K from ads alone and around $20K+ from IAP In app purchases. That's my monthly earnings scale-up.

I've seen fellow developers who make way more money than this so yeah... It's not that surprising lol 

This whole experience taught me a lot of things, but mostly... It taught me to try out everything, because you never know where your final luck in life is.


As a young Ugandan who had no hope in life, this means a lot to me and proves that anything is possible in our messed up country. And FYI there are people who actually make tones of clean Money but choose privacy over publicly for peace  :)

Lastly, I was supposed to join campus last year but don't really know if I should since this is literally the purpose of life, and not in a relationship either, just focusing on expansion of my App to other platforms :)

So yeah... that's it. Nothing is impossible, just have faith, believe and and execute. Have a nice one 🤍

App Development changed my life forever.... literally...
