If you make an app for yourself, and sell it for free, then yes, you wont make any money. But! Many people make apps as a business and if you do that, you are relying on the clients to get money. When developing apps for clients, they choose everything, but you can charge them incredibly high prices (£4,000 is the average price to develop one app).

If you make a successful (free) app for a particular niche (or keyword) your exposure as a developer is priceless. If you make apps for clients my advise is to aim for monthly income instead of the big bucks upfront. Farcat Comments Also, making an app may be part of a long term plan.
