Jeroen is completely right. The more you advertise, the more users you get. The more users you have, the more of those rare awesome projects are created. If my product is making more money, I can invest money back into it, and give it better support.
For example, if 3D World Studio starts making a lot, I am going to spend money having more textures and meshes made. Even if I barely turn a profit on them, that money would have just gone to taxes if I hadn't spent it improving my own business.
Since I improved my site, I have been getting some very interesting offers from very interesting people. It's like you're going to a meeting. You don't show up in shorts and a T-shirt, and hope you will be saved by the graces of your personality. How you present yourself indicates your level of professionalism. You show people that you care enough to put some effort into your appearance.
