Hi,<p>We recently finished our suite of applications for test preparation developed on Adobe AIR platform. We are selling them on our website and have submitted them on adobe AIR marketplace for publishing which is pending approval. I was wondering what other places HNers use to publish/sell their software? Amazon starting selling downloadable software but it is still work in progress. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.<p>Thanks.
I don't have a lot of experience in selling software online, but as a consumer, these are the places that I'd be looking to find niche software.<p>1. Your own website (with Google AdWords campaign)<p>2. CNET Downloads (if you have a free trial version)<p>3. snapfiles.com (if you have a free trial version)<p>4. eBay store<p>5. Amazon store<p>Really, it seems that you'd want to push ALL traffic to your own domain where you can completely control prices, offers, wording, etc.<p>EDIT: I just checked out your site [<a href="http://www.watermelonexpress.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.watermelonexpress.com</a>] and it seems like you've already done a lot of the leg work. The problem that I see is that this market (test prep software) is saturated. I think an aggressive AdWords campaign would be your best bet.
Another option is to use PAD. That stands for Portable Application Description. Read FAQ here <a href="http://www.asp-shareware.org/pad/padfaq.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.asp-shareware.org/pad/padfaq.php</a><p>Once you got PAD that describes your software, you could use PAD submitter tools to submit it to a lot of shareware sites.<p>HTH
