Let’s Make Software!

As you all know, people can make tons of money selling software. I don’t guarantee you will be the next Microsoft, but you should get a lot more sales. I have used these techniques with my software and they do get me downloads even if its not a high-demand software. Just keep in mind; this is not a tutorial, this is the secrets! I assume you already have at least a basic Internet knowledge. Before you read these. Just don’t want it to be too difficult… There are no affiliate links in this post, just references…

Lets begin. The first thing is to choose a product that is in high-demand. You can do research online by comparing what product got how many downloads. Many people may look at this as a waste of time, but it is true. Some of the software that gets a lot of downloads may be possible to make with ISB. Check the top sites like Cnet’s Download.com. There, you can see the most popular software and if possible, try to make it. Once you have created your high demand software, its time to advertise it. Make it available to the public. Using these techniques I will get your software seen in the high demand sites like Download.com and Softpedia for free. Its actually easy. The awesome part is when you submit your software to Cnet. If you submit to them, your stuff will be all over their partner network. Which includes:

ABC News
AT&T Worldnet
BellSouth
CNET International sites
Compuserve
Download.com
EarthLink
Froogle (products with Buy Now buttons only)
Microsoft Windows Marketplace
MSN
MSN Canada
PeoplePC
Shareware.com
TechRepublic Downloads
WindowsAtoZ
Winfiles.com
ZDNet Downloads.

You see what I mean .

The next thing is a website. Even though you have your software on those sites, its best to have a website where you can place your customer support, detailed product information, and more. You should also have a way for them to buy from your site (I recommend PayPal). You could even set up an autoresponder with a newsletter to keep them informed.

Now for the fun part - publishing. This is quite simple. I won’t provide the instructions here but at the reference sites they have instructions. To publish to all of those sites above, it takes just one site - the sacred upload.com. They have the instructions, and its free. Of course you could upgrade to one of their plans and get more exposure, but I advise you to stick with the free one… I also advise you to submit to Softpedia if you like, but upload.com takes care of it…

To Your Success,

Maximus.
