We are excited to announce that starting in July the Alexa Developer Rewards program will pay developers who publish highly engaging skills in Japan as well as in the US, UK, and Germany. Every month, developers can make money for eligible skills that garner the highest customer engagement in these countries.

Eligible skill categories include:

• Education & Reference
• Food & Drink
• Games, Trivia & Accessories
• Kids
• Health & Fitness
• Lifestyle
• Music & Audio
• Productivity

To date, the Alexa Developer Rewards program has paid millions of dollars to developers in more than 20 countries. Developers can increase their level of skill engagement and potentially earn more by improving their skill, building more skills, and making their skills available in more countries. You can read about how Gal Shenar, David Markey, and Oscar Merry earned Alexa Developer Rewards on the Alexa developer blog.
