In 2013, after I have graduated from university of medicine, I actually didn’t know how to live my life.
I was desperate and hopeless like others fresh graduate. During my gap period, I realized that it was a good time to turn my dreams into action.
That’s why I started to create mobile apps which was my dream. Many people believe that programming is essential to develop software. In my view, it was possible to develop ordinary mobile apps with the help of online development tools.
The first one I made was zodiac app. I made it to test the capability of the tool. Unexpectedly, I found out a way to generate revenue from apps.
As soon as I published the app, it became viral one on Facebook which encouraged me to continue the development.
I was staying in my room every day and nights and figuring out how my app should be look alike.
My next product was mobile health app, called Myanmar Fist Aid.
The idea came from my prior experience of using heath apps during internship in hospitals.
At first, I considered to develop remedy app, but I was worried the accuracy of my treatment since I was not a professional in home remedies.
Then, I switched my idea to just first aid which is more resourceful and easy to find references.
By the time I released my app, I heard many applauses from users.
I am still thinking that it was a golden time with sharp and innovative ideas. I cannot create anymore like this because of not having a strong foundation on the subject.
I have published 6 apps so far on google play.
The one named “Myanmar Zodiac “ hit the 100,000 download in mid -2016.
Others are about 50000+ in average.
Some people would wonder that I could have generated much money from these downloads.
The reality is I couldn’t, because all my earnings were generated from banner ads.
Splash screen ads were not installed by me. It was from the company by which the tool was operated.
Splash screen ads used to generate more money than ordinary banner ads, according to the articles.
I once requested them to allow me to use splash screen ads, but they didn’t allow.
I believe my app is the most downloaded one which used their tool.
I think their revenue must be doubled than mine. If I were able to program myself and the ads installed in apps were all mine, I could have been rich.
With my 3 years of experience on apps, I should have found a small company.
However, I don’t have enough courage to do it.
At least, I should have someone, a closed friend, who are good in managing, along with developers who are easy to communicate.
So, what would be my another destiny.
