How do I earn from my Google Play developer account without building apps myself?
By becoming a publishing partner for a company that builds and maintains the apps and monetizes them with ads — you supply the account, they supply the product and engineering work. Ownership of the account never changes hands: you grant scoped Developer-role access (not owner access), the partner publishes and updates apps under that access, and you're paid from the ad revenue the apps generate. This is different from selling or handing over an account, which is unsupported by Google and irreversible. With ConsoleMint specifically, an account can carry up to 10 apps, and payouts move through a fixed-payout ramp-up phase into a revenue share as the apps mature — see the payout structure question below for the numbers.
Own a Google Play developer account?
ConsoleMint is an app monetization company: it builds Android apps, publishes them, maintains them and monetizes them with in-app advertising, then shares the ad revenue with the publishing partner whose Google Play account distributes them. Developer-role access only — never owner access, never a password — revocable with 30 days notice.
