have a female friend who is a programmer. she got hired for peanuts while still studying. says it was good experience but ofc horrible pay.

maybe you can reach out and try to hire students.

You already have two programmers. If they cannot learn, fire them and hire new ones. Most programmers should be able to handle simple games, especially if it's just 2D OpenGL. If they can't and can't learn, then you can do better.

Hire students. Not that difficult.

No way.

>maybe you can reach out and try to hire students.

Actually tried this, but a lecturer at IT classes advised me against it. He said the students are really shit at their job and will take ages to create a buggy program.

Wrong. First of all, they are owners of company. Secondly, they spend their time developing the current project (updates, bug fixes, new features). They have no time to start a new project. We need a new person who would be capable. We cannot stop working on current project or we will lose what we have built so far.

It is difficult. If they are good, big companies will hire then for 3k a month. And if they aren't, they will take 3 months to develop a simple game and even then it will crash and be bugged to hell. I spoke to a very experienced programmer/lecturer about this.

Op. This is a simple situation though I have no qualification to even state this, but even so you aren't going to listen anyways.

From the sounds of it:
You earn money with an app.
The app earns money.
"I don't have money for a programmer"
So.. why don't you earn more money?
I understand you're trying to get a dirt cheap good programmer. But it works like this. Is he good and cheap? Yeah he'll work slow cause its his time. Is he good and fast? He won't be cheap. You want cheap and fast? He won't be good. You're running into the triangle of a decision.
But the real answer is making more money.

Buy how anon. How can I make more money if we reached our cap on our app already. The thing is that you're not marketing enough. Maybe start using adsense words from Google and start doing trial runs of select markets or better yet get your business on Facebook and start running targeted ads that cost you 1/3 or 1/4 of what your app costs or can gain in a few months time. Clearly you're not able to buy a good cheap and fast worker nor are you wanting to settle for a bad cheap yet fast worker. So. Spend your money in marketing over the course of hiring a good one.

We don't know what your app is. Nor do we know how you're marketing it.
What I believe is get a Facebook run ads for 16-25 year Olds or 18-28 females if it's a game or something.
We literally know nothing about your app.. you want us to tell you how to get a developer in a very difficult situation without benefit
As for the third time. Start marketing yourself. The marketerror you have isn't working good enough. He should progressively been bringing in more. So. If you truly want this to work. Do more with your time. Don't work a 9-5 or whatever with your app and then browse 4chan. Get out there and start googling blogs that promote apps offer them free app for a review. YouTube some review channel with a decent following. Find channels and offer affiliate %from everything they sell. market market market.

You obviously are hitting your cap, but someone has to be buying your app for it to make money. There are billions of people on this planet. Go find them rather than the 2k that bought your app.

Go on reddit. Talk to people there. Pm people promoting there.

Run 30 $ targeted ads on Facebook for .5$ a click for the group I suggested.
Then see what your return is on who opt-ed to buy your game.. or do something.. don't just believe another programmer is a solution. You clearly make money so the app must be good enough to sell to even more people.. so.. start selling to more people until the amount of bad reviews or whatever isn't to your liking then start scaling. You're wanting to spend money for a programmer who may or may not bring more money on a "app that isn't scaling to the point where you have money to spend" so. Spend money to get more income. Even then go find reviews if you don't want to spend on marketing. Shill where people have money.

We don't have an office to be honest. We all work from home.

We thought about this, and this works fine if you get 20-30$ per lead. We get like 1.5$ per one free download, which is rather good, but not comparable to products offered in Facebook ads and Google ads. Apps are too small for this.

The app is an online board game. A classic board game that people can play online against each other.

>As for the third time. Start marketing yourself. The marketerror you have isn't working good enough. He should progressively been bringing in more.

I tried many free and paid marketing methods during the last 4 years. Including paid reviews on sites (which worked best in experience, but we exhausted the sites the app can be reviewed on).

>You obviously are hitting your cap, but someone has to be buying your app for it to make money.

People mostly buy in-game currency to play against each other.
