Thanks a bunch for this, very helpful stuff. And congrats on your well-earned success!

I just launched an app a couple of weeks ago and am past that first spike on your graph (we were reviewed on AppAdvice last week and on TheNextWeb yesterday).

So following your formula for success, I need to add some iOS 5 features and get Apple to feature it. I'll get on that right away. ;) It seems like every single success story of app devs has that in common: they were featured by Apple. That's the maddeningly frustrating part of it all because that process is such a black box.

It's not totally black box. Some sections (e.g. New & Noteworthy) aren't too hard to get into. I've been featured in them a few times when I launch a new app that gets a high number of sales in the first week. To get into the section therefore you need a good app and good launch marketing.
