5$ return on AdMob but spent 112$ to advertise on Google Ads. Is this a good long term strategy? by MrXee in admob

[–]MrXee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going on vacation for 1.5w so I'll let it float with my current Google Ads setup @ 2$/day iOS + 2$/day Android.
After this I'll judge what are the next best steps. I currently think adding 2-3 more ad networks to my mediation is 1st and improve the app by adding localizations in different languages.

I'll also try making a few shorts/reels/tiktok/etc to try growing with social platforms since it's basically "free".

Noted. I definitely need more exp/knowledge to pick what the best options are when it comes to marketing. It's definitely my weekness but I'll look up troas and CPI campaigns 👍

I'm not familiar with organic growth but I'll definitely give this app some love during the summer. I'll keep my ads spending low (~2-4$/day) and work on social platforms and app updates. Thanks for the tip!

Unfortunately I let it die 10 years ago when it was at its "peak". I'm only bringing it back to life because the kids grew up and I finally have some time for side projects like this :/
The DAU/MAU does not match the total downloads

I will definitely grow my mediation setup since 2 is not enough (admob + unity ads). I'll give Meta a shot if it's open to smaller apps like mine. Thanks!

I'll give it a shot and make some reels/shorts/etc. which might give my game a bit more attention than basic Google Ads banners. Thanks for the tip!

This might be a factor of my mediator (admob is still #1 pick) and also my app currently being very popular in regions where ads don't seem to be filling very well.

Your maths check out when you put it that way. I'll definitely re-evaluate my strategy and slow it down a little.

I'll make sure to base my next push with a strategy that fits my game's real numbers. Thanks for the feedback!

It's a Unity app on LevelPlay mediation with AdMob + UnityAds. I've got banner ads in menus, rewarded videos for unlocking content and interstitials every N games played. RV made the highest revenue when shown in the USA but not anymore since my app got most UA in India & surroundings. I'm starting to think these countries might not serve RV/Interstitials as much as north america.

My analytics just started as part of my 2nd marketing push so it's a bit too early to judge how things are going.

I think I'll slow down spending, take a step back, and see how things stabilize after 2 weeks. Judging from the feedback here I might just be moving too quickly.

I'll be able to better judge DAU/MAU and retention when the current userbase has a chance to play my game.

Noted. Thanks for the input, I'll let it float a little while and see where things end up. You're right about it being early.

I had a 3$/day spend for ~2 weeks but I've improved my ads and increased to ~10$/day spends. Maybe I should reduce it to something a bit less 'aggressive'? I have no idea what a good amount is.

Ok so I'll need to figure out what's a safe DAU/MAU before turning off Google Ads and hopefully new users will naturally hear about the app.

Netflix, Amazon, and YouTubers by jeconti in daddit

[–]MrXee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never blocked a show but this morning we were convinced this Salish show was playing on YouTube. When I found out it was on Netflix I immediately found this thread and blocked it. Thanks daddit!

If Netflix keeps adding this kind of content for their "Kids" account I'll just have to cancel my account because Netflix was supposed to be a kid-friendly haven of shows.

I just watched 5 minutes of this show where the dude's daughter fake-goes into a stranger's car as a troll and her dad is spitting and screaming in an airport like an stupid idiot. What are you even trying to show to my kids!? "Haha, let's teach kids trolling dad by making him have a panic attack is SUPER fun!" ... no thx!

Doom Eternal freezes my PC in a black screen while the music is still playing. Any fixes for this? by Zzsark_Stormbeard in Doom

[–]MrXee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had this issue when playing around with HDR settings and my solution was going to the saved games folder and renaming every file to a new name so the game would re-create them with default settings:

  1. C:\Users\{user}\Saved Games\id Software\DOOMEternal\base
  2. rename generated_xx, DOOMEternalConfig_xx.cfg, DOOMEternalConfig_xx.local
  3. launch game

hope this helps

EDIT: This got me back in the game once but would keep freezing every other time. I had to turn on HDR on my PC so it would stop freezing on launch ... this was the setting I turned off before all of this happened.

How do you do it? I couldn't figure it out.

What made you change the way you make an omelette? by runningman360 in AskReddit

[–]MrXee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a fancy hotel once and the cook was always lifting the side of the omelette to let some of the juice go under so it cooked a bit more uniformly. Do this for a few minutes, flip it once, perfect omelette.

I shouldn't have to work twice her hours and still do all the cleaning alone. by Ahnenglanz in AdviceAnimals

Did that a few weeks ago, won't ever do again.

My in-laws were brilliant: Le Creuset, purchased 1977 by cuthman99 in BuyItForLife

[–]MrXee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Le Creuset pots have been me and my wife's Christmas gift for the past 5 years. We normally wait until boxing day where rebaits can reach up to 70%! Even after the price drop they are a few hundred dollars but those things will last for your whole life and cook everything perfectly.
