Default App Sales Down Dramatically After Two Weeks?

My app, Easy Typing, has been in the Top 100 Paid Productivity apps until just a few days ago. My sales are half of what they were a week ago. Is there some kind of re-marketing i can do? Any suggestions are appreciated.

You probably got pirated. Nothing to do about that now, but put out an update to make your app better.

The best marketing is to keep improving your app and coming out with updates. Your existing users are your best marketing channel by far. Keep them happy!

Sometimes sales for an app just fluctuate. It's hard to pin down.

Yes sales on appstore fluctuate all the time.
After every down there is an up.

I had a negative day after an update, and then my best day yet the next day.

My advise is Don't Panic.
Move on to the next project wether that is an update or new app. Studying the sales reports and rankings will only slow you down. Speaking from experience.
