I think you could also have this possibility - choose an app category and get the ad spots required. And still - you could have more control and info regarding your app than just "you had x number of impressions in the last y days&quot

Indeed - Overcast just did this - and that was also one of the main factors that pushed me to want to build this. I guess Marco would prefer to focus on Overcast and not take care of the ads management system - but since AdMob was not an op

For example - except for some filters you don't quite have control over what ads are being displayed when using AdMob. What AdMob serves - that's what you display. With this network - if an advertisers wants to buy an ad slot - bu

If they are in the network they have full control over the ads that are being displayed. That's what I'm saying.

I'm not an advertiser and I understand your point - but I think it can be the same amount of work pushing the ad in a black hole of ad impressions - not knowing where your add is being displayed - just some numbers - then trying to gue

Do you know why did Google removed your app?

Big companies have big marketing budgets and are interested in big numbers (eg. huge number of impressions). I was thinking in terms of a more human approach where advertisers are actually looking to connect with their potential users. App

The app publishers that are going to be accepted in the network will have full control over what ads that will be displayed. It's their choosing if they which ad they display and where as long their app passes our quality-standards (eg

I agree also - and I would point out also that the ads approach or having a freemium app are the only two viable solutions for mobile apps. The subscription based model is definitely the Holy Grail of app monetisation but it's also the

AdMob has some sort of direct sales feature but the billing is not handled by them so I guess there's no interest for them there. I think that for app publishers being featured on the TinyAds network will increase your exposure to adve

What were your results with this type of monetisation? Do you know any "success stories" of any kind?

And do you think that having this ...more human approach..when selling/buying ads is obsolete? I think that high-quality apps have a loyal and passionate audiences - a smaller one for sure - but advertisers can rest assured they have a

It may be my simplest way of thinking but I've found that having a high-quality, curated app network enables you as an advertiser to target a high-quality and a more relevant audience. Also it's simpler to find the apps you want

Awesome tutorial mate - love what you've done with the Bolstat landing page. I think being able to get a landing page out there as fast as possible is very important if you want to test some ideas and looking at your workflow is inspir

Nice - I also started (but only a few days back) to jot down my ideas being from a book or for an app or something but I found that there's still some getting used to with this setup. Also I'm interested of your morning/eveni

Up until about 3 month or so I've been using mainly Evernote - but for me the app has started to be old, laggy and it's a lot of clutter. Since then I tried a few different tiny apps but none of them seemed to do the trick until I

My goal for this year was to read 10 books. Not a huge challenge but I'm happy I managed to complete it. I'm currently at my 16th book - so I might say that's pretty good. Here's my 2016 reading list: #1. Zero to One - P

Really insightful post, thanks for sharing. It's been a while since I've seen this kind of success stories from indie developers. I feel like there's a trend right now that is focused more on telling how bad the App store is
