Are you looking for a fun new way to make some fast cash? Raj Patel's eBook, Passive Income with Android, suggests a way to make a lot of money in a way you've probably never thought of before— Designing an app for the Android market.

This is an informative, manual -like book created to teach the readers to put together an app worthy of the Play Store. With this method of money making, you design an app, add it to the Play Store and then sit back to see how it works. This does not always work in your favor. Its success or failure could be a factor of many things, but by paying special attention to the guide in Patel's book, success rates should be rather high.

This eBook gives an explanation of how a person would go about making money on the Google Play Store by designing apps for customers to purchase or to download for free use. Some people have become very rich doing this alone, as thousands of people buy and run several apps each and every day.

At the start of the book, the author gives a brief run through of the things you must think about before you ever try to create your own app, including the things that make an app successful and what potential customers look for in an app, the name of the app and the design of the icon, and most importantly, what kind of app you want to make- but this is only the beginning of what a reader of this eBook would find.

Once you know the details of what kind of app you want, the author gives a thorough overview on how to create an app in the next section with the inclusion of picture references and detailed instructions on the process of installation and use of the programs that you can use, how to create and add music and anything else you may want on your app.

I would highly suggest this eBook to anybody who may be looking to make a bit of money and doesn't know what they could do or where to get started. This would also be a helpful and informative read for anybody who is interested in computer designing, learning how to build an app or gaming on smart phones or tablets. I, who have had no precious knowledge on the subject, have learned a lot about how to make an app.

If programming and design does not interest you, I would suggest looking for a different read. This eBook is most likely not for you.

I'd give this book a full 4 out of 4 rating for it's thorough detail and instruction on it's subject.

Thanks for the review. It sounds like summarized content well. I think this might interest my son. I didn't realize this site included more technical type books like this.

Really? I had no idea that people could possibly make some nice money creating these type of apps. I'm interested in learning more! :D
Thanks for the very informative review!

Thank you very much for this review :)! I was already thinking of making an App for Android, but I didn't know how to go about it. :)

Thanks for the review! I've been thinking about making Apps for awhile but haven't jumped into it yet. Sounds like this book will help me get on my way. Sounds like this book is full of information.

A while back I probably would've read a book like this. I had a lot of dreams back then, and programming was one of them. I'm kinda skeptical as to how one can learn to design an app just by reading this book. Great review though!

Nice, informative review! I am usually skeptical of "get rich"-style books, but this book seems to offer a lot of good information for people interesting in making apps. I am a bit techno-challenged, but I'm sure this book would appeal to a wide range of readers.

Sounds like a very interesting and helpful book. Though I'm not into designing apps as I have zero idea how it's done plus I'm not tech-savvy and all, I might check it out. Great job on the review. Congratulations to Raj Patel for such a well-written book.

Passive Income has really become popular in the world, hasn't it? Definitely not a bad thing and I'm glad a book is out that can help people achieve their goals. I find indie novels have a much more personal touch than well-known series, such as the For Dummies series. But that's opinion. This is a great review - clear and concise :)
