QuoteI am about to release a very useful piece of software, a context menu share-it for the order processing, but their fee is way to high for a small amount, I was getting 2.80 after their fee, so I switched it to paypal and they only took out 45 to 50 cents which was MUCH MUCH better. There is not a ton of interest in Postgresql right now so I could have done much better with a different application. I also tried to use digg.com for social advertising, but that did not work good at all. it's funny though, I sold two copies in February for 29.99 and as soon as it went to 5 bucks people came out of the woodwork to buy it.

Re: As opposed to donations, what about a real low price?
First try selling it. You can always release it free later (or adjust the
price). If you release it free to start with you cannot "unrelease" the source. As for protection, I wouldn't bother. I found it much more useful to know the identity of the person leaking it. In my deAudio components I distributed a DrumRoll.wav and replaced the least significant bit of each sample so that I could embed the email address of the person I sent the installer to. One day someone on IRC sent me a warezed version of my components, I extracted the email address from the wav file. I discovered that day that I could not trust someone I had known for about 2 years! -- Pete ==== Audio compression components, DIB graphics controls, ECO extensions, FastStrings www.droopyeyes.com My blog blogs.slcdug.org/petermorris/ |
