Dude, you'll come up with a better idea tomorrow anyhow. Selling a percentage of your app's revenues in order to gain access to enough capital to survive is a smart move. You've already got a record of sales, so it should be easy to attach a valuation to your apps as a multiple of revenues/earnings. This is the smartest move.

Also, it might not be a bad idea to raise enough money to both feed yourself and another person or two, and go from being just another small-time hobbyist (who will eventually get run over at some point or another - app developer lifecycles are shorter than ever) to running a business that can scale.

You've got the attention of many people, including those with capital -- use it. There's always a silver lining...

I would suggest a solid course in small business operation before making that jump again though, the way it went up to now is not how it's done.
