Earning cash using their skills is something that developers or mobile apps are good at, and there are three ways that they can accomplish exactly that. We will be looking at those three ways in which mobile application developers get to monetize their skills. You will find the issues discussed here useful if you are a person who is contemplating studying mobile app development. You may even want to find out how to turn mobile apps development into your "bread and butter" , so to speak. That is the goal of this article: to enlighten you on the specific ways to turn your skills into mobile apps development into something you can live off of. This would also be a huge help to the parents of aspiring mobile applications developers in the future, especially those who want to make a career out of it. The marketability of skills in mobile applications development comes into question. We will try to address those concerns as we look into the three ways that these mobile app developers can make money out of their skills.

The first way in which mobile apps developers get to earn cash through their skills is by creating 'marketable' apps, which they then proceed to sell. According to statistics collated by the Information Communications Technology (ICT) industry, we are looking at a market of more than one billion mobile apps users, since that is roughly the population of people who currently use smartphones.

More than one billion users of mobile apps means you have more than one million buyers of these apps. The more useful or helpful the mobile app is, the higher its chances of raking in money once it reaches the buying public's consciousness. If you also have a great app developed, you don't have to worry too much about how to handle its marketing, since word of mouth would spread so quickly among mobile apps users.

You can also earn money by developing apps and distributing them for free. The earning would come from the advertising programs that come with it. This strategy has worked so well for many mobile apps developers who are very good at the business side of things. Many have even become rich because of this. This business model does not even take into account the actual quality of the apps. After all, they are going to be used by the apps users at no charge. Again, there are very many advertising programs through which the app developers can monetize their products, without having to shift their attention from their core coding functions.

There are many companies nowadays that are engaged in the creation of apps. Thus, they would be hiring people who are skilled at mobile apps development. That is another avenue for earning if you are a mobile app developer. The job market nowadays shows an obvious inclination towards jobs that involve technical skills such as mobile apps development. There are always businesses looking to have apps for specific functions developed. App developers can even be hired by other mobile apps developers, particularly those who are working on large projects.
