You can try things like getjar.com which offer a cost per download model. Or list your app on my directory @ mjelly.com!

One question i have is how the accounting is done for the $200k profit, bearing in mind the app benefits from the wider business (Carsonified events etc). As a standalone app it might be paying more for marketing, legal/ accounting, management overhead etc
