How to Monetize Your Flutter Applications Using Admob
#### What Will I Learn?

- You will learn how to monetize a full featured flutter application using the Firebase Admob plugin 
- You will learn how to build a target audience for your advertisements inside of your application
- You will learn how to create a banner and an interstitial advertisement for your application
- You will learn how to use the ad listeners and events to ad logic to your advertisements 

#### Requirements

- [IDEA intellij](https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/) or [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) with the Dart/Flutter [Plugins](https://github.com/flutter/flutter-intellij)
- The [Dart SDK](https://www.dartlang.org/install) and the [Flutter SDK](https://flutter.io/get-started/install/)
- A fair understanding of Mobile development and Imperative or Object Oriented Programming

#### Difficulty

- Intermediate


#### Description

In this flutter tutorial, we look at how we can **monetize** our mobile applications using the **Google Admob platform** and the **Firebase Admob plugin**.  While the plugin is not full featured yet, it does provide various **different advertisements** and **monetization** means that we can use inside of our flutter application.  This means that we do not have to build out logic in either iOS or Android to **deploy advertisements** to our flutter application layer.  With Admob we can choose how our advertisements are presented to the users and we can also **choose what types** of advertisements are served.  We can **toggle various features** like family friendly mode and we can also setup the gender and age of our users to limit the types of ads that get served.  

To demonstrate this plugin, we make use of the **Minesweeper application** that was built in a prior tutorial series.  This application works well because there is a clear logic that helps us in how we serve our advertisements to users.  The **banner** sits at the bottom of the game screen at all times and refreshes every few minutes.  The **interstitial advertisement** is  deployed when the user hits the game reset button.  By default, the interstitial advertisement will only deploy over a certain frequency but we can bypass this duration by adding some logic to the listener of this advertisement.

I do not know how I forgot to do this, I could have sworn I did it last night when I wrote the post.  I was fairly exhausted last night so I guess it makes sense.  Thank you for telling me; the post should be corrected now. If there are any other issues please let me know.
