Why on Earth are you hosting it at GoDaddy? Throw up a Linode or something.
It's written in Windows technologies. Their Windows VPS prices are good.
iPad port of a 5 year old game of mine (which previously already paid for itself about 9 times over in its PC and Mac versions) was released a few months ago. Didn't expect much but amazingly it pulls in consistently $70-$110 a day (about $2,500 a month) for a few months now (not counting the initial release spike). Game is free to download with 1 In-App-Purchase that unlocks the full game. Thinking of doing an iPhon…

Any chance of going into detail on this one for the curious? Automated in what way, putting bets on low odds results? Through an API? If anything I'm interested more in how it works than how I can do it myself!
I have some bots placing bets for me 24/7 on betfair. They provide a nice API for that ( https://developer.betfair.com/default/api-s-and-services/spo... ). The bots written in JS running on a node.js server. The strategy (bet pattern) I use is actually pretty simple. But it's not betting on low odds only, tryed that and failed :)

Why just a $4 ad budget if it's doing so well?
I could try other ad channels, but I'm talking with a publisher who might be interested in publishing it so haven't tried that yet.

Mind sharing which game this is? I'd simply be curious to see what sort of/quality of game generates that sort of (as you said, very favorable) income characteristics in this current market.
Bingo Card Creator is still plugging along, though both down from previous years and an increasingly small portion of my business. I spend under 20 minutes a month on it on about 2 to 5 issues which make it past T1 support. As for numbers: http://www.bingocardcreator.com/stats/sales-by-month Historically, multiplying by 60% usually gets a good approximation for profits.
Probably been addressed already elsewhere, but for a relatively static non-tech-dependent product, did you ever figure out why these were such epic months? 9/12 $6,399.30 10/12 $7,811.95 11/12 $6,169.70 12/12 $7,063.20 1/13 $5,221.25 2/13 $8,236.25 If at all repeatable, that's a fairly attractive revenue level...
I may have written about this before, so apologies if this is repetitive. In 2010ish, I had gotten fairly sick due to a metal poisoning. The biggest issue was that it was messing with my cognitive abilities and that made me fearful of not being able to work and earn an income at the standard of living I had become accustomed to. I quickly recovered, but became obsessed with finding a way to live - indefinitely - off…
The S&P500 total return last year (2013) was 32.39%. The year before (2012), 16%. [1] The two year annualized: 23.92% which is really near your 24% compounded. Weekly trading sounds like a lot of transaction cost for not much alpha. It sounds like you are doing better this year-to-date, but be careful drawing conclusions on a system when the market is going gangbusters.
Does this strategy involve a lot of covered calls? That would seem to fit better returns in flat/down markets and lesser in raging markets (since you'd be taken out early).
