Has anyone offered to set up an American LLC and "hire" you as a subcontractor to allow you to sell android products under an American company and pay you the earnings minus a small fee?


There is no reason why he couldn't do it himself.


So I see you're from Poland, but Poland is not on Google's approved countries list for Google Checkout merchant accounts, according to this list: http://www.google.com/support/androidmarket/developer/bin/an...

How do you get paid? I see you're using ads in your apps, what network are you using?


I have been writing about it many times. I can not sell apps and all my income is from ads in free applications.


My question was: what ad network(s) are you using?

I searched your blog, but couldn't anything related to that (maybe my GoogleFu is not good enough).


I've read your reports some time ago and I had no Idea you're Polish too :) pozdro!


Great to see your income is growing. Keep it up. Are you working on new Android apps, or still the old ones? I don't know your apps but I think you said your apps are pretty simple ones. Are you considering building a more ambitious app that might need many months of work before being launched?


I am working on new apps. Not VERY ambitious but more complicated than current ones...


Chris, love that you are keeping up with sharing these numbers with us even as things grow and get more "serious".

Glad to see you have an eBook out and that income, month over month, is up. Best of luck!


New income report. As usual comments are welcome and strongly desired!


Care to do an after-tax-and-expenses analysis? In one of your previous income reports I've discussed that with a few people, but it'd be nice to see some actual numbers, since you don't seem to be coy about it at all.


I have very low expenses (as I am just sitting at the computer). Tax is 19% from income - expenses. Moreover I need to pay about $150 of health and other obligatory insurances.


I'd ask which country you are in? And what kind of red tape do you face for your taxes?


Poland - not sure what do you ask me about with that red tape...?


I am Brazilian, so I might get the slang wrong but I think that red tape means bureaucracy. I think he is asking you how hard it is to declare the taxes from this income to your own government...


Yes, that's what the slang means. "Red tape" is bureaucracy you need to fight through in order to accomplish something.


Which ad platform are you using for your apps?
