Transition from Free to Paid

[ReedR95]

Hey guys, I am a long time lurker on this forum and a first time poster.

Last Sunday I made my app "Drop!" free through freeappaday.com.
I am extremely happy with the service and so far our app has been downloaded over 350k times (in 3 days) and is the #1 free app in the UK, and #77 in the US (the highest it got was 51 before it started declining).

We are going to switch back to $.99 tomorrow night and I was wondering if anyone has any tips for staying high up on the charts after this transition. Is there anything we can do besides hope that our current users spread it to their friends (which was our goal by making it free)???

Here is a link to our app: Drop! for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad on the iTunes App Store

Thanks,
Reed

Unfortunately, you will see a steep decline. Not much you can do.
