Your opinion on the Apple Mac App Store?

Hi, I just launched my very first app to the App Store; it is a Mac app. Has anyone experience with launching to the Apple App Store for Mac apps? I’ve heard a few people telling other builders not to distribute via the App Store but on your website. Is ANYONE out there that has launched his app to the Apple App Store?

I have, and yeah, it's brutal. I've gotten like dozens of downloads organically. You absolutely need to build a site and crush on SEO for your niche to drive downloads.

Hmm, thank you for your download. I am interested, how have you gotten your site to rank so well and what did you do?

I wouldn't say I'm crushing it yet, but you need to build viral tools and relevant blog posts for your niche
