Re:I Bootstrapped My Side Project to $6k/Month (2017) by UncleEntity on Wednesday November 28, 2018 @12:42PM (#18553633)
One wonders how they get paid the ad money they earn?

Simple solution: "We take the first $25 in ad revenue your app generates and you keep the rest."

Complex solution: "We take 50% of the ad revenue your app generates unless you pay $25/month through outside means."

...unless they needed to create thousands of apps to make any income and 50% is cheaper than $25/app.

You could invoice them for the $25 but you cannot "keep" it until/unless your service becomes the advertising network's client.
