(Android) Developer Income Report #11
- kreci 15y agoNew income report. As usual comments are welcome and strongly desired!
- drats 15y agoI'd ask which country you are in? And what kind of red tape do you face for your taxes?
- kreci 15y agoPoland - not sure what do you ask me about with that red tape...?
- soapdog 15y agoI am Brazilian, so I might get the slang wrong but I think that red tape means bureaucracy. I think he is asking you how hard it is to declare the taxes from this income to your own government...
- chc 15y agoYes, that's what the slang means. "Red tape" is bureaucracy you need to fight through in order to accomplish something.
- roel_v 15y agoCare to do an after-tax-and-expenses analysis? In one of your previous income reports I've discussed that with a few people, but it'd be nice to see some actual numbers, since you don't seem to be coy about it at all.
- kreci 15y agoI have very low expenses (as I am just sitting at the computer). Tax is 19% from income - expenses. Moreover I need to pay about $150 of health and other obligatory insurances.
- nextparadigms 15y agoGreat to see your income is growing. Keep it up. Are you working on new Android apps, or still the old ones? I don't know your apps but I think you said your apps are pretty simple ones. Are you considering building a more ambitious app that might need many months of work before being launched?
- kreci 15y agoI am working on new apps. Not VERY ambitious but more complicated than current ones...
- optimus 15y agoWhich ad platform are you using for your apps?
- bad_user 15y agoSo I see you're from Poland, but Poland is not on Google's approved countries list for Google Checkout merchant accounts, according to this list: http://www.google.com/support/androidmarket/developer/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=150324 http://www.google.com/support/androidmarket/developer/bin/an... How do you get paid? I see you're using ads in your apps, what network are you using?
- kreci 15y agoI have been writing about it many times. I can not sell apps and all my income is from ads in free applications.
- seanalltogether 15y agoHas anyone offered to set up an American LLC and "hire" you as a subcontractor to allow you to sell android products under an American company and pay you the earnings minus a small fee?
- piotrSikora 15y agoThere is no reason why he couldn't do it himself.
- johnarleyburns 15y agoIt's perfectly legal for him to make his own US Delaware LLC, with a cost of maybe $300 a year in fees and accounting. There are numerous sites for doing so. Being Polish is no obstacle.

- rkalla 15y agoChris, love that you are keeping up with sharing these numbers with us even as things grow and get more "serious". Glad to see you have an eBook out and that income, month over month, is up. Best of luck!
