I'm getting 200k impressions per day, but I don't want to put skeezy ads all over the place to pay for the servers I need to buy (or lease or whatever).
I was thinking that I could sell a really simple graphics app. I get quite a few requests for recommendations. My users want something easy to make the banner of their dreams.
I sent Pixelmator (http://www.pixelmator.com) an inquirey (a few minutes ago), but I thought I'd ask here for recommendations. My users are young, international, and a little silly.
I'd love to find something that feels more like an iPhone app than a desktop one. I think $20 would be a good price point, hopefully with at least a $5 referral payout.
Any suggestions. I'd also be curious about open source ones (but REALLY simple), and other suggestions for monetizing. I am working on a system where users can pay to get their banners featured so they get more downloads. But who knows if that will work out.

For open source, there's an app I've tried a few times called Drawberry [3], which looks something like Pixelmator, but is for vector drawing.
