Now that you have created software, you will certainly want to make some money from it right? Of course you do. It is very important to take advantage of the options that you have to make money from your new product.
You have several options that you could look into that will make it possible for you to get the money you want from your software. First off, you can sell your software directly. If you know a fair amount of work has been put into the software and that it can do more functionally than competing products on the market, you can put together a website and simply sell it to your customers.
This option will of course require you to make the products you create findable by your customers which may require advertising and promotion. This can be a little bit of an investment if you cannot find other ways to accomplish spreading the word about your software. You may also want to sell your software with some resell rights. The only perk that is being made available through this new system is the fact that your customers can also sell your software themselves and make a profit from their sales.
There is a great opportunity to get the software out to more people even though you may not see any additional money by selling with resell rights. The idea is to get your branding better known so customers will return for more. You can sell the software with a branding tool and white label or private label rights. This basically means that the software you will be selling can be rebranded as another company's software and they can claim it as their own.
This of course is an option that you should offer only if you are willing to let others claim your software as their own. This also means that you can sell your software at a much higher cost this way so that you can claim at least a portion of the sales from the rebranding in advance since you will not get any of the profits later on.
You can give the software away but require them to get a free licence key for the software. In a way this is a genius option because you can require them to sign up for an advertising list before they can access the free license key. They may also be required to complete a CPA offer which would in turn grant you some advertising revenue.
This is a great way to give the software away free but not really for free. Additionally you could have them skip this step by offering the software at a low price such as that of the cost of your highest paying ads for example. You can also be ingenious and start a software club membership site. This way you can charge a fee for membership monthly and they will then have access to your available software. Members will be offered a new software option every month while still having access to the list of existing products.
As you can see, it is really a great idea to take advantage of the various different methods of selling the product (or giving it away) for profit. The main advantage of selling the products yourself is the fact that you will be seeing all of the profits. If you implement a resell program on commission, you can still get a fair amount of profit from this system. Giving the product away for free is also a great way to get started with advertising services which will pay you good money for each person you are able to subscribe to advertising.
