Thomas, you mentioned how

[Dexx]

you created a piece of software in 20 minutes using TSB, and then posted it up on RentACoder, or Freelancer (something along those lines)

and received multiple bids with one as high as $15,000 (I think?)


Would this good be a good strategy for earning some quick cash you think?

Is it possible for you to provide a similar niche idea (or what you had created) that made people feel like bidding such high amounts was justified for the software you had created so seemingly easy? Was it business oriented, internet marketing related etc. What kind of problem / issues was it solving?


On the flip-side is there a lot of requests and demands for database / data management type software that we would be able to fill?


I'm just thinking up quick ways to pay off some credit card bills from the Holidays, and I thought instead of creating a software and doing the whole website / salescopy / and finding affiliates thing...I could just post it up on a code site for sale and make quick cash.



Any ideas, or help on this concept? Thanks!

Hi Dexx,

You could look through the rentacoder and elance type of sites to see if there are any type of software applications that could be built with TSB. You can send some examples to the people of the projects you already did.

Nothing is stopping you from looking and trying it out.

Try doing a wso for some software on the warrior forum. Don't forget to build a list as well. That is why a list is so nice because you can make money quickly simply by sending off a message to your list for a product that you created.

You can also sell software on Ebay. Check out what is selling and make something similar. We already know it will and work better. :)

Put up a piece of software using the $7 dollar script and tell possible affiliates they can keep 100% of the profits. On the back end offer, offer the people resell rights, master resell rights, or private label rights (by using the brander).

Thomas:

Re-read your's and Alton's response to my asking for clarification of IM language and terms; wanted to brush up on this market. Also have been scanning software sales sites (in particular your close friend "Buddy");) for more information.

Is this the correct interpretation of your last paragraph to Dexx: Affiliates pass through the sales lead to Dexx and Dexx let's them keep the full commission on the $7 dollar price. But Dexx offers these affiliates resell rights, master resell rights and PLRs for a licensing fee? On a $7 priced item what's an example of a licensing fee for these categories? When looking over internet sites I visited I didn't see the amount of licensing fees listed. Probably didn't scour hard enough.

Many thanks,

Hi John,

You almost got it.

To entice affiliates there are some scripts that will allow them to get paid instantly instead of the product owner taking payments and then disbursing them.

Marketers will often use what is called a One Time Offer that gets displayed after the person purchases a product. This will only be shown one time and is very effective.

So we have two things going on... enticing the affiliate and making as many sales possible from the buyer.


So we create a software program and sell it for $27.00. This will go 100% to the affiliate because we want to entice them into sending referrals to build our lists. The list we can make more and more money later by offering other products for sale.

The affiliate sends the buyer and the buyers purchases the product. The buyer will then get what is called a One Time Offer after they purchase the $27.00 offer. The One Time Offer will only display once and will be gone forever which makes this a very strong offer and is effective. You wouldn't see the One Time Offer unless you purchased.

The One Time Offer can be anything relating to what you sold. It can be licenses for reselling or you can offer a brandable layout file that they can use Tiger Software Brander with.

You can see a lot of the big time internet marketers offer many One Time Offers. They may start with a high priced One Time Offer and if the buyer declines start going to lower priced One Time Offers. It does make people angry if you throw too many at them but is still effective.

You may not see any licensing fees. It depends on what they are offering. Normally when they call it a private label membership it means you can call it your own and sell it. It may not allow you to offer resell rights but should be disclosed prior to purchasing. Most of these sites won't disclose which makes it your duty to ask.


I hope this helps. Let me know if you have more questions John. I like talking about this stuff. :)

Thomas is the brander going to be available in the next update?

[TigerSoftware]

Yes. Also the relationship stuff. I want to get everything done this weekend including the new manual. I want to release the update next week.

I want to set up a membership so you can login and download the latest at any time.

After that I am looking at including more editors like a web page editor for starters.


I have other products that are relying on this product so I need to er done. ;)

That sound excellent. Thanks for all your hard work.

Thanks Thomas,

I can't wait to check out the relationship piece. It will
make my software project even better.

One more question. Is there going to be a backup in the update so the end user can backup their data?

That shouldn't be too hard to slip in.

David, this works really nicely. I have been using it for quite some time. I just need to document it well. I am working on completely new documentation for everything.


Thomas

[MikeM]

I'm not going to touch that line :D

That sounds good. I know I would be hesitant to buy software that was database driven and not be able to back it up. And if I would hesitate, so would the customers that know anything.

[Dexx]

Well really anyone can back up the software by exporting their data as an excel file or something, it's just not possible to re-import that information as of yet.

But once that's done, then ya it'll be a normal backup procedure

[MikeM]

it's just not possible to re-import that information as of yet.

Thats exactly right Dexx. Depending on what software you created, and if it's used by personal or business, if you have a years worth of data, and have it exported into an excel sheet, it's there but kind of useless. For personal use, it may or may not be a big deal, but if your intended market is business related, it could mean the end of their business if they don't have their data. Again, depending on how complicated a program you created.

[Dexx]

Oh totally, we all know that, and Thomas said he's working on an import ability, so it's coming eventually, no worries :-)
