HI ok I gotta ask - your post has made me insanely curious - you mention having cash at hand while waiting for your new card (resourceful) but none of the sources of cash was a bank or ATM.

Where I'm from cash is still used a lot (as we minimum wage workers get paid in cash) and as a result there are multiple ATM's within walking distance at all times and banks no more than 15-20 minutes drive away. Is this... different where you're from? (For context I'm from Africa)

We get paychecks directly to the bank account here, and I usually just pay with my card everywhere I need to, because it's more convenient than having a lot of coins and bills around. While there are ATM machines here (there are several within a walking distance from where I live), you use them with your card, so without having one, I can't get money out of the money withdrawing machine. I don't know how you do it, but without a card I can only get money out of the bank account by (online) bank transfers, and that's pretty hard at grocery store register.

Our bank offices stopped handing out cash several years ago, of which I am still very salty about.

I got some cash from my mom, and I had a handful of coins left over from the last time I had used an ATM a while back, but that's kinda rare for me, since most places accept card.

hey if you like fucking around with mobile games and free money, consider signing up for Mistplay with my referal link. Mistplay awards you points for reaching checkpoints in mobile games that you can then cash out for actual real gift cards for all kinds of stores (or paypal). it's genuinely not hard to rack up enough points for a $5 gift card, which might be a special little treatie you otherwise wouldn't have been able to afford, just for playin some games.

normally mistplay gives you a paltry 100 points for "successful referals" (where the referred person actually cashes out a card) so i haven't bothered with the effort of recruiting people to this, but for the next 3 days they're running an event where referals get me 1500 points each if you cash out, and that's genuinely about $5 so i guess that's the amount it takes for me to sell my soul and pitch sketchy datamining apps to my friends and followers.

i know the cultural zeitgeist on tumblr is very protective of their data, which i definitely understand, i just am a disabled person who can't do real jobs so i keep trying to find stupid little "side hustles" to occupy my time/pad out my bank account so i can hopefully become financially independent from my parents someday, and genuinely i find fucking around with stupid mobile games pretty fun so if they're going to siphon my data anyway I might as well get paid for it :v

⭐ So you want to learn pixel art? ⭐

🔹 Part 1 of ??? - The Basics!

Hello, my name is Tofu and I'm a professional pixel artist. I have been supporting myself with freelance pixel art since 2020, when I was let go from my job during the pandemic.

My progress, from 2017 to 2024. IMO the only thing that really matters is time and effort, not some kind of natural talent for art.

This guide will not be comprehensive, as nobody should be expected to read allat. Instead I will lean heavily on my own experience, and share what worked for me, so take everything with a grain of salt. This is a guide, not a tutorial. Cheers!

🔹 Do I need money?

NO!!! Pixel art is one of the most accessible mediums out there.

I still use a mouse because I prefer it to a tablet! You won't be at any disadvantage here if you can't afford the best hardware or software.

Because our canvases are typically very small, you don't need a good PC to run a good brush engine or anything like that.

✨Did you know? One of the most skilled and beloved pixel artists uses MS PAINT! Wow!!

🔹 What software should I use?

Here are some of the most popular programs I see my friends and peers using. Stars show how much I recommend the software for beginners! ⭐

💰 Paid options:

⭐⭐⭐ Aseprite (for PC) - $19.99

This is what I and many other pixel artists use. You may find when applying to jobs that they require some knowledge of Aseprite. Since it has become so popular, companies like that you can swap raw files between artists.

Aseprite is amazingly customizable, with custom skins, scripts and extensions on Itch.io, both free and paid.

If you have ever used any art software before, it has most of the same features and should feel fairly familiar to use. It features a robust animation suite and a tilemap feature, which have saved me thousands of hours of labour in my work. The software is also being updated all the time, and the developers listen to the users. I really recommend Aseprite!

⭐ Photoshop (for PC) - Monthly $$

A decent option for those who already are used to the PS interface. Requires some setup to get it ready for pixel-perfect art, but there are plenty of tutorials for doing so.

Animation is also much more tedious on PS which you may want to consider before investing time!

⭐⭐ ProMotion NG (for PC) - $19.00

An advanced and powerful software which has many features Aseprite does not, including Colour Cycling and animated tiles.

⭐⭐⭐ Pixquare (for iOS) - $7.99 - $19.99 (30% off with code 'tofu'!!)

Probably the best app available for iPad users, in active development, with new features added all the time.

Look! My buddy Jon recommends it highly, and uses it often.

One cool thing about Pixquare is that it takes Aseprite raw files! Many of my friends use it to work on the same project, both in their office and on the go.

⭐ Procreate (for iOS) - $12.99

If you have access to Procreate already, it's a decent option to get used to doing pixel art. It does however require some setup. Artist Pixebo is famously using Procreate, and they have tutorials of their own if you want to learn.

⭐⭐ ReSprite iOS and Android. (free trial, but:) $19.99 premium or $$ monthly

ReSprite is VERY similar in terms of UI to Aseprite, so I can recommend it. They just launched their Android release!

🆓 Free options:

⭐⭐⭐ Libresprite (for PC)

Libresprite is an alternative to Aseprite. It is very, very similar, to the point where documentation for Aseprite will be helpful to Libresprite users.

⭐⭐ Pixilart (for PC and mobile)

A free in-browser app, and also a mobile app! It is tied to the website Pixilart, where artists upload and share their work. A good option for those also looking to get involved in a community.

⭐⭐ Dotpict (for mobile)

Dotpict is similar to Pixilart, with a mobile app tied to a website, but it's a Japanese service. Did you know that in Japanese, pixel art is called 'Dot Art'? Dotpict can be a great way to connect with a different community of pixel artists! They also have prompts and challenges often.

🔹 So I got my software, now what?

◽Nice! Now it's time for the basics of pixel art.

❗ WAIT ❗ Before this section, I want to add a little disclaimer. All of these rules/guidelines can be broken at will, and some 'no-nos' can look amazing when done intentionally.

The pixel-art fundamentals can be exceedingly helpful to new artists, who may feel lost or overwhelmed by choice. But if you feel they restrict you too harshly, don't force yourself! At the end of the day it's your art, and you shouldn't try to contort yourself into what people think a pixel artist 'should be'. What matters is your own artistic expression. 💕👍

◽Phew! With that out of the way...

🔸"The Rules"

There are few hard 'rules' of pixel art, mostly about scaling and exporting. Some of these things will frequently trip up newbies if they aren't aware, and are easy to overlook.

🔹Scaling method

There are a couple ways of scaling your art. The default in most art programs, and the entire internet, is Bi-linear scaling, which usually works out fine for most purposes. But as pixel artists, we need a different method.

Both are scaled up x10. See the difference?

On the left is scaled using Bilinear, and on the right is using Nearest-Neighbor. We love seeing those pixels stay crisp and clean, so we use nearest-neighbor. 

(Most pixel-art programs have nearest-neighbor enabled by default! So this may not apply to you, but it's important to know.)

🔹Mixels

Mixels are when there are different (mixed) pixel sizes in the same image.

Here I have scaled up my art- the left is 200%, and the right is 150%. Yuck!

As we can see, the "pixel" sizes end up different. We generally try to scale our work by multiples of 100 - 200%, 300% etc. rather than 150%. At larger scales however, the minute differences in pixel sizes are hardly noticeable!

Mixels are also sometimes seen when an artist scales up their work, then continues drawing on it with a 1 pixel brush.

Many would say that this is not great looking! This type of pixels can be indicative of a beginner artist. But there are plenty of creative pixel artists out there who mixels intentionally, making something modern and cool.

🔹Saving Your Files

We usually save our still images as .PNGs as they don’t create any JPEG artifacts or loss of quality. It's a little hard to see here, but there are some artifacts, and it looks a little blurry. It also makes the art very hard to work with if we are importing a JPEG.

For animations .GIF is good, but be careful of the 256 colour limit. Try to avoid using too many blending mode layers or gradients when working with animations. If you aren’t careful, your animation could flash afterwards, as the .GIF tries to reduce colours wherever it can. It doesn’t look great!

Here's an old piece from 2021 where I experienced .GIF lossiness, because I used gradients and transparency, resulting in way too many colours.

🔹Pixel Art Fundamentals - Techniques and Jargon

❗❗Confused about Jaggies? Anti-Aliasing? Banding? Dithering? THIS THREAD is for you❗❗ << it's a link, click it!!

As far as I'm concerned, this is THE tutorial of all time for understanding pixel art. These are techniques created and named by the community of people who actually put the list together, some of the best pixel artists alive currently. Please read it!!

🔸How To Learn

Okay, so you have your software, and you're all ready to start. But maybe you need some more guidance? Try these tutorials and resources! It can be helpful to work along with a tutorial until you build your confidence up.

⭐⭐ Pixel Logic (A Digital Book) - $10 A very comprehensive visual guide book by a very skilled and established artist in the industry. I own a copy myself.

⭐⭐⭐ StudioMiniBoss - free A collection of visual tutorials, by the artist that worked on Celeste! When starting out, if I got stuck, I would go and scour his tutorials and see how he did it.

⭐ Lospec Tutorials - free A very large collection of various tutorials from all over the internet. There is a lot to sift through here if you have the time.

⭐⭐⭐ Cyangmou's Tutorials - free (tipping optional) Cyangmou is one of the most respected and accomplished modern pixel artists, and he has amassed a HUGE collection of free and incredibly well-educated visual tutorials. He also hosts an educational stream every week on Twitch called 'pixelart for beginners'.

⭐⭐⭐ Youtube Tutorials - free There are hundreds, if not thousands of tutorials on YouTube, but it can be tricky to find the good ones. My personal recommendations are MortMort, Brandon, and AdamCYounis- these guys really know what they're talking about!

🔸 How to choose a canvas size

When looking at pixel art turorials, we may see people suggest things like 16x16, 32x32 and 64x64. These are standard sizes for pixel art games with tiles. However, if you're just making a drawing, you don't necessarily need to use a standard canvas size like that.

What I like to think about when choosing a canvas size for my illustrations is 'what features do I think it is important to represent?' And make my canvas as small as possible, while still leaving room for my most important elements.

Imagine I have characters in a scene like this:

I made my canvas as small as possible (232 x 314), but just big enough to represent the features and have them be recognizable (it's Good Omens fanart 😤)!! If I had made it any bigger, I would be working on it for ever, due to how much more foliage I would have to render.

If you want to do an illustration and you're not sure, just start at somewhere around 100x100 - 200x200 and go from there.

It's perfectly okay to crop your canvas, or scale it up, or crunch your art down at any point if you think you need a different size. I do it all the time! It only takes a bit of cleanup to get you back to where you were.

🔸Where To Post

Outside of just regular socials, Twitter, Tumblr, Deviantart, Instagram etc, there are a few places that lean more towards pixel art that you might not have heard of.

⭐ Lospec Lospec is a low-res focused art website. Some pieces get given a 'monthly masterpiece' award. Not incredibly active, but I believe there are more features being added often.

⭐⭐ Pixilart Pixilart is a very popular pixel art community, with an app tied to it. The community tends to lean on the young side, so this is a low-pressure place to post with an relaxed vibe.

⭐⭐ Pixeljoint Pixeljoint is one of the big, old-school pixel art websites. You can only upload your art unscaled (1x) because there is a built-in zoom viewer. It has a bit of a reputation for being elitist (back in the 00s it was), but in my experience it's not like that any more. This is a fine place for a pixel artist to post if they are really interested in learning, and the history. The Hall of Fame has some of the most famous / impressive pixel art pieces that paved the way for the work we are doing today.

⭐⭐⭐ Cafe Dot Cafe Dot is my art server so I'm a little biased here. 🍵 It was created during the recent social media turbulence. We wanted a place to post art with no algorithms, and no NFT or AI chuds. We have a heavy no-self-promotion rule, and are more interested in community than skill or exclusivity. The other thing is that we have some kind of verification system- you must apply to be a Creator before you can post in the Art feed, or use voice. This helps combat the people who just want to self-promo and dip, or cause trouble, as well as weed out AI/NFT people. Until then, you are still welcome to post in any of the threads or channels. There is a lot to do in Cafe Dot. I host events weekly, so check the threads!

⭐⭐/r/pixelart The pixel art subreddit is pretty active! I've also heard some of my friends found work through posting here, so it's worth a try if you're looking. However, it is still Reddit- so if you're sensitive to rude people, or criticism you didn't ask for, you may want to avoid this one. Lol

🔸 Where To Find Work

You need money? I got you! As someone who mostly gets scouted on social media, I can share a few tips with you:

Put your email / portfolio in your bio Recruiters don't have all that much time to find artists, make it as easy as possible for someone to find your important information!

Clean up your profile If your profile feed is all full of memes, most people will just tab out rather than sift through. Doesn't apply as much to Tumblr if you have an art tag people can look at.

Post regularly, and repost Activity beats everything in the social media game. It's like rolling the dice, and the more you post the more chances you have. You have to have no shame, it's all business baby

Outside of just posting regularly and hoping people reach out to you, it can be hard to know where to look. Here are a few places you can sign up to and post around on.

/r/INAT INAT (I Need A Team) is a subreddit for finding a team to work with. You can post your portfolio here, or browse for people who need artists.

/r/GameDevClassifieds Same as above, but specifically for game-related projects.

Remote Game Jobs / Work With Indies Like Indeed but for game jobs. Browse them often, or get email notifications.

VGen VGen is a website specifically for commissions. You need a code from another verified artist before you can upgrade your account and sell, so ask around on social media or ask your friends. Once your account is upgraded, you can make a 'menu' of services people can purchase, and they send you an offer which you are able to accept, decline, or counter.

The evil websites of doom: Fiverr and Upwork I don't recommend them!! They take a big cut of your profit, and the sites are teeming with NFT and AI people hoping to make a quick buck. The site is also extremely oversaturated and competitive, resulting in a race to the bottom (the cheapest, the fastest, doing the most for the least). Imagine the kind of clients who go to these websites, looking for the cheapest option. But if you're really desperate...

🔸 Community

I do really recommend getting involved in a community. Finding like-minded friends can help you stay motivated to keep drawing. One day, those friends you met when you were just starting out may become your peers in the industry. Making friends is a game changer!

Discord servers Nowadays, the forums of old are mostly abandoned, and people split off into many different servers. Cafe Dot, Pixel Art Discord (PAD), and if you can stomach scrolling past all the AI slop, you can browse Discord servers here.

Twitch Streams Twitch has kind of a bad reputation for being home to some of the more edgy gamers online, but the pixel art community is extremely welcoming and inclusive. Some of the people I met on Twitch are my friends to this day, and we've even worked together on different projects! Browse pixel art streams here, or follow some I recommend: NickWoz, JDZombi, CupOhJoe, GrayLure, LumpyTouch, FrankiePixelShow, MortMort, Sodor, NateyCakes, NyuraKim, ShinySeabass, I could go on for ever really... There are a lot of good eggs on Pixel Art Twitch.

🔸 Other Helpful Websites

Palettes Lospec has a huge collection of user-made palettes, for any artist who has trouble choosing their colours, or just wants to try something fun. Rejected Palettes is full of palettes that didn't quite make it onto Lospec, ran by people who believe there are no bad colours.

The Spriters Resource TSR is an incredible website where users can upload spritesheets and tilesets from games. You can browse for your favourite childhood game, and see how they made it! This website has helped me so much in understanding how game assets come together in a scene.

VGMaps Similar to the above, except there are entire maps laid out how they would be played. This is incredible if you have to do level design, or for mocking up a scene for fun.

Game UI Database Not pixel-art specific, but UI is a very challenging part of graphics, so this site can be a game-changer for finding good references!

Retronator A digital newspaper for pixel-art lovers! New game releases, tutorials, and artworks!

Itch.io A website where people can upload, games, assets, tools... An amazing hub for game devs and game fans alike. A few of my favourite tools: Tiled, PICO-8, Pixel Composer, Juice FX, Magic Pencil for Aseprite

🔸 The End?

This is just part 1 for now, so please drop me a follow to see any more guides I release in the future. I plan on doing some writeups on how I choose colours, how to practise, and more!

I'm not an expert by any means, but everything I did to get to where I am is outlined in this guide. Pixel art is my passion, my job and my hobby! I want pixel art to be recognized everywhere as an art-form, a medium of its own outside of game-art or computer graphics!

This guide took me a long time, and took a lot of research and experience. Consider following me or supporting me if you are feeling generous.

And good luck to all the fledgling pixel artists, I hope you'll continue and have fun. I hope my guide helped you, and don't hesitate to send me an ask if you have any questions! 💕

Teaser: The Reality of "Gacha" Games - Most Players like "Beautiful" Things

A teaser of something I want to give my thoughts, the reality is that whether people like it or not, the majority of gacha players like "beatiful" things, in other word, they are willingly to put money in. Yes, it may be "gross", but like I said, fictional things, DOES NOT HURT in real life society. Word of wisdom: Learn to differentiate between "fictional" and "reality".

How App Developers Making Money From Free Apps

I know that many times while using an app, you think about how the developer earns money from these apps, even if you are using them for free. Today in this post, I want to answer your question. I will cover every possible way in which they are earning money, and you can also make money this way. I have researched many websites on the internet and collected only the most impactful ways that will work for you. 

Before thinking about earning money from an app, consider studying prediction in a particular domain, like app development or anything else. Like many authenticate organizations, research the business, analyze that raw data, and provide you with meaningful information. Do you know, according to Market Research, "the global mobile app development software market size is projected to grow from US$ 1421.4 million in 2023 to US$ 2436.6 million in 2030; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.0% from 2024 to 2030?"

This analysis comes from previous years of sales analysis. Users want to access services online that provide ease. It also provides user behaviour how users spend most of their time online. Now every online business can feel that it would be difficult to run a business if they were not online or on social media. They have to generate content online, such as videos on YouTube, informative guidance in blogs, and reels. They also need to run ads on search engines and social media to get more reach in a short period. 

Here, we can clearly see the demand for users consuming or using online material. We have to fill these gaps with our work. That's why I told you earlier that you shouldn't think critically about earning; research your niche or category before starting. To explain to you easily How app developers make money from free apps? I will take a live example of a free app like Supercell's Clash Royale that is available on the Play Store or the App Store and is free to play. I will explain everything, including how they earned and made money worldwide from 2015 to 2023, from Statista.

How Supercell’s Clash Royale and Clash Of Clan Makes 359 million U.S. Dollars in 2023

Image Source: Google Play Store

This is a very interesting and warlike game. It is for both paid and free users. You can also install and play. 

In this Game can play with other players from around the world. Hit their archers and kind tower with your troops and win the crowns. Here's what you will see in this app :

Card-Based Combat: It has no control options like you have in racing cars or different action games. In Clash Royale, you will build a deck of different available troops, like

Wizard: This spellcaster launches fiery blasts that damage multiple enemies.

Valkyrie: This fierce warrior uses her axe to damage and slow down enemies.

Inferno Tower: Action: Melts enemies with an overheating beam.

Unique Deck Building: Include the strongest warrior from your choices so that you win all the fights. But make sure that your average cost of Elixir.

Real-Time Battles: You can also participate in real-time battles with other players worldwide. That's why I recommend you make a low-cost, strongest Elixir deck so that you can use your troops repeatedly and your opponent is unable to handle them.

Form Your Clan: You also have the option of battling with other clans.  A clan is a group of players in the same team. Attack other clan player teams to earn points and improve the authority of your clan.

Constant Evolution: Supercell knows that every game looks boring with the same UI and design for a longer time, so they continuously make new stories, and based on stories and ideas, they launch new cards and their actions. As we have seen, they are all offering good and engaging games free of charge. That tree needs to be upgraded with cards. but it required a lot of patience. You have to play regularly, and after winning the battle, you will be rewarded with a mystery box. When you open it, you will get cards, a gold coin, and other rewards. But if any player wants to quickly update his or her card, they have the option to buy the card deck. From there, they are earning from a free app. Hope you like to know this strategy 

Other Ways To Make Money From Free Apps?

I think from the above example of Clash Royale, it is clear how app developers earn money from their apps. but it is not only the way they earn. In this section, I will cover some more possibilities of earning through the app. In this section, I will answer: How do free apps make money without ads?

In-App Purchases

If you have an app that attracts traffic and users come to your app and use it daily for a longer period, then you can also list some products according to your app niche or customer interest. If your app is about clothing style, then you can also list some trending t-shirts, jeans, or particular outfits that look awesome, and some customers may purchase them from you because they have been using your app for longer periods and have trust in your app.

You should integrate your app with Google Analytics or any analytics so that you can analyze your user's behavior on your platform and make necessary improvements to enhance the user experience or increase the number of users on your site. 

Freemium: Provide quality at no cost

Make something unique and demanded, and provide it to users free of charge. Then make an add-on as an extra feature. Some customers also want add-ons to enjoy extra features of your app, so they will buy these add-ons. 

You can also provide them with an option like membership. If they become members, they do not have to pay add-on fees every time. 

Affiliate Marketing

Businesses love to promote their brands through affiliate marketers. If you have relevant traffic, visit an affiliate site like Amazon Affiliate or Click Bank or Commission and join their affiliate program. Here, you will get a find lot of brands that want affiliates to do their marketing. 

After signing up to this platform you will get a unique tracking link. Add these links to your links so that visitors will click on them and visit their website, and if they purchase something, you will be rewarded for this traffic with commission on their commission. 

Please note: Don't convert every visitor into a customer. If you aggressively advertise, put these affiliate links everywhere, or ask your users to buy these things, these may harm your visitor's experience, and they may leave your app or website forever. Never tease them. Try to solve user problems with different products and services, not force selling.

Can ads help you earn more money?

Yes, as we all know, SEO is a slow process, but when your site achieves organic traffic, that will give you an unthinkable profit. But before getting high organic traffic, you have to promote your brand through blog creators, YouTube content creators, paid ads like Google, Bing, and other relevant platforms according to your niche, and learn how to forget social media platforms in terms of awareness. Yes, I know you are thinking about the fact that these all require funding, like investment in ads, approaching content creators and asking them to promote your brand, etc. 

Then I will say yes; these all require an initial investment, but later they will provide you with a better ROI (return on investment). Investment is required in every business. Suppose you want to drive an autorickshaw, then you need to buy an autorickshaw. If you want to sell food, then you have to invest in food raw materials, restaurants, etc. But later, you will earn from your business.

Ads will provide you with a fast result in comparison to SEO (organic results). It can bring more traffic to your app. So before investing in these things, I again request that you build an app that can engage internet users. If you have an idea, then well and good; otherwise, you can also discuss it with an iOS app development agency. They have developed many apps and also know customer demand; they will help you make good decisions. 

Conclusion

I hope I was able to cover the complete topic and answer your question, "How does an app developer make money without ads with ads?" I have also suggested some other popular ways to make money from apps, including how to enhance your app traffic and improve the user experience so that you can retain your old users and add new ones. That may potentially increase your traffic and earnings.
