Are you working alone? If so, maybe that's your issue. I myself am a programmer. I consider myself a good one. I've worked independently for about a year, but business isn't terribly good. I recently finally listened to my dad's advice, and partnered up with a not-very-good-programmer. The catch? He's great at finding clients, leads, and all that social part. I now realize that the time I'd dedicated to talking about the project, contacting potential clients, etc were a waste: it's not my speciality. I suspect you're doing something similar: you might be a great programmer, but that doesn't mean you're good at everything that needs to get done. Have you had proper marketing for your ideas? Did a designer design the UI (or are you any good at it)? Did someone with business expertise manage the business side of it?
