Income From Selling Software

I've been developing and selling my own software products for almost 10 years now, and it definitely can earn you a living. Although, it is a hard way.

For

  • It is a greatest pleasure to make creative software things, it is almost an art
  • Gives you steady and solid income that can not just be ruined in one day

Against

  • Although it is better than a regular job as you are your own boss, it is still an active income that requires almost everyday actions and control, especially in the customer support area
  • Requires skills and time to come to market with a product. Although, it is a great pleasure, too.

Regarding the tech part of the sales process, there are loads of companies that will charge the customers for you for a fee. I've been in this business for quite a time now, and I can highly recommend Plimus - solid and efficient ecommerce platform for independent software publishers.
