Certain things I did seem to have helped a lot. For example, I nearly killed myself to make sure my app would be ready on iPad launch day. Being one of only a few native iPad apps at the beginning really boosted my sales for awhile.
Probably the worst thing I did wrong: It's not pretty enough. If there are any designers reading that would like to collaborate on a prettier follow-up app, my contact info is in my profile.
