average cydia sales

[spiderguy84]

I just submitted my first pay app in Cydia. What do y'all find as an average first few days of sales for these (apps)?

All mine are free, but they get hundreds of downloads off the bat
What is yours called and what does it do?

It's called Air Home Video, $0.99. It allows you to play all videos in photos app, including camera roll, and allows videos to Air Play to a new Apple TV. I had what I thought were decent download stats, but it has slowed down drastically since release and I'm concerned about piracy, and want to compare with other apps in Cydia.

It looks like a good app, but there are always gonna be less downloads for paid apps then free ones. It's expected that the download will go down after release because it's not in the changes section unless you do an update. Your best hope of getting more sales is getting it advertised or mentioned in a news article. With the piracy thing, it's always gonna get out no matter what you do, just think of it as a compliment that people want your app so badly that they'll break the law to get it

Gotcha. I've been trying to get articles written on here or the other biggies like engadget but so far no luck. I did have some articles written on like redmondpie.com and macstories.net though.

Do you have any suggestions of review sites to try and get it reviewed at?

I don't really use any other than MMi but redmondpie and macstories are still pretty good since most paid packages don't even get talked about anywhere
