I'm solely on Android at the moment and doing free apps with admobs included.

In the 10 months since I started releasing on the market I've had an average of 400 downloads per month; and currently 1,100 active users.

I've literally made about $20 in admobs credit, it's been nothing to shout about but my apps were mainly just released to get my name on the market. I managed to get some contracts on the back of my own work.

I'm in the middle of developing my first major paid application. I'll stick it on iOS as well. Hopefully I will eventually no longer be reliant on contracted work.

I do enjoy my work. I'm at University full time and doing this part-time. It's the summer break right now and I'm working in my living room, in shorts and watching TV. It probably doesn't get much better. I'm hoping that once I graduate I will be able to do this full-time.
