Can someone please tell me the steps needed to accomplish this? That is to get the ad supported app onto the store also.

Easiest way is to make a copy of the app and keep both up-to-date with any changes. Harder way is to make a copy of the BT_config.txt app and make hand-changes in it. Perhaps a better idea will come along. -- Niraj Comments Just do it the same way, put out another one. Easiest way is to make a copy of the app and keep both up-to-date with any changes.

I have done this myself ( http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/the-gp-race-fan-app-free/id497967317?mt=8 and http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/the-gp-race-fan-app/id482494089?mt=8</a> ) As far as Buzztouch is concerned, you can manage this as one project if you want to. The way I did this was to download the basic project, compile it in xcode and make it the paid version. For the free version, I duplicated the xcode project, changed the app/bundle id, worked in the banner ad code in xcode and then uploaded my second binary for the free version.
