I have 2 hobbies: programming and bicycles. I don't make money on bicycling, but programming on the other hand...
Last year I developed a simple slot-machine-game for android, simulating an old norwegian slot-machine from the 80's. The application works ok until some memory leak crashes the application. The application comes in 2 versions: 1) ad-version, user clicks the ads and I get some pennies, 2) a pay version, I get a dollar or so per application.
With the bugs and all, the application was well recieved in Norway and has had 56K downloads of the ad-version, where 97% of the downloaders are norwegian according to the google-stats. The pay-version has 91 downloads.
In total I have recieved about 500usd from ad-clicks and about 100usd from selling the ad-free version. Not enough to quit my day-job and live happily ever after, but enough to buy some gadgets for bicycling and more programming. So here are my next investments:
- ContourROAM action cam: 300 USD
- Arduino UNO r3 + accessories : 100USD
- Stuff I need for building a quadrocopter based on arduino 200USD (++?)
Looking good, now I only need dx.com to deliver the parts, assembly a quadrocopter and make the arduino board-control the beast.
