I want to make mobile apps and earn money while doing it. The problem is that I have a moral problem with the way the ad based buisness model is implanted.
Because I target the Android platform charging for an app is really difficult. On the other hand putting ads is quite easier.
I don't have problem with the principle of having ads show in a mobile app. The problem for me is that I want absolute control on what ads is presented to the user and currently there is no (viable) way of doing so with the AdMob from Google.
In order to get around the issue I've thought of adopting a model similar to the billboard model. Basically, the advertiser pays me directly to put his ad on my app for a given time in exchange of an amount of money discussed beforehand. This way I would be able to screen which ads I find acceptable on a case by case basis.
When starting out I will probably have no one paying me to put their ads on my app. That's why the dedicated space where ads will be put will show a comment saying that if you would like to rent the space to put your ad you can contact me at this email.
I'm wondering if this idea of monetization realistic? Would greatly appreciate thoughts on this especially from those who make their money building software.
