There is three ways to get money from developing apps:
1) Develop apps and upload to play store as paid product. (Money Per Single Download)
2) Develop free apps with ads. (Money Per Impressions or Clicks, 1000 Imp. ~= 3$)
3) Develop free apps with "In App Purchase". (Money Per Purchased Package In The App)
90% of the people does not purchase apps for money, they prefer to suffer ads popups and not pay money.

Courses Plus Student 30,936 PointsOf course, you have two ways to add ads in your apps:
1) Banner ads, which display an html ads from partners (Ex: Google Ads, Admob, etc) and they pay for you when ever the ad displayed. that's mean if 1000 UNIQUE users open your app the the ad displayed, you will get paid for Approximately 2$.
2) Video ads, which display and video ads with full screen for 5-30 seconds from partners (Ex: Adcolony, etc). Like the way youtube do. and you will get paid for 1000 "video playback" Approximately 5$.
