Show HN: 8 million downloads after one year on the App Store

You definitely don't have to fail before you succeed. But if it happens, just accept it, learn something, and move on.

Do you have it on the iPod or iPad? On the iPad, you'll see a banner ad that spans the bottom of the display. That generates about half of the revenue. The other half comes from In-App Purchases of song packs ($0.99 each, or $2.99 for a full unlock). And about $40 a day comes from LinkShare commissions, which happens when someone links out from my app to an iTunes song, and buys it.

Thanks for your reply. I agree with you and I meant that failures are not really that bad, and mostly help you to learn from mistakes.

Also, what's next for Tiny Piano ? How do you plan to keep it simple and yet add features to keep it relevant for new and old users - both ?

In the immediate future, I think I'll stick with adding new content (more paid song packs and more free songs).

Farther in the future, it might be fun to add a "game" section where users can play short DDR/GuitarHero style games to practice rhythm and possibly learn how to read music.
