Advice
-
Well, I need a bit of advice from you guys. This is the first time I'm doing something like this and it has me stumped. I have my own firm which I run with a friend and partner. We launched our first shareware app a few days back. Basically it's a popup blocker, banner ad blocker, blah blah. It well, got a few awards here and there too. So far, so good. Yes, the software has a couple smallish bugs, but 1.1 is on the way. The problem is that we are not seeing much in the way of traffic and downloads. People just don't know about us. Note that I'm not talking about sales. People will buy only if they like the thing and find it useful. Other similar products have got a much higher download count in fewer days than us. For example, while we are still struggling at 430 (yesterday's count), another similar one, released the next day, has got 11k+. :( And people are looking for this type of software too, as is evident from the download counts of other similar programs. So it's not like we made something nobody wants. Anyway, my question is, what do you guys do? I'm sure there are many of you here who make shareware type apps too, or something that you market on a regular basis. How do you market your products? These are the things I can think of: 1. Get listed on download.com. Done. Plus a lot more shareware sites. 2. Try to improve search engine ranking. Working on it. 3. Try to make affiliates who will sell your app and earn commission. We tried this but so far have managed to get only two affiliates and no results - neither in the form of downloads, nor sales - from them. 4. :confused: Money is scarce, so we don't have any advertising budget at all. Besides, I don't really think advertising on the web really works (plus, it would be against what our software is about :) ). And we don't want to bring in any investors either. Not that we are sure an investor would be interested either. So whatever. We need to bring people to our website and make them download and try out our software. If no one tries it out, no one is going to buy it, right? So how do we do it? What do you advise? I can't just sit here twiddling my thumbs and biting my nails while days pass by, can I? :( Regards, Rohit Sinha Meet Browsy

Nobody buys version 1 of a product. It doesn't matter if it is the first version, call it 2.10. Rohit Sinha wrote: I can't just sit here twiddling my thumbs and biting my nails while days pass by, can I? No, but you probably can't do a lot more towards sales either. Think of some ideas for additions and get developing. More money is made off selling new versions of the same product to the same old buyers than selling a new product to a new buyer. I could be talking out of my hat here, I'm not a sales type, but these are two observations I've made over time. Paul

Try spending $30: $10 at MetaFilter.com $10 at Kuro5hin.org $10 at Fark.com These are for smaller text ads, running for 10,000 serves, similar to what Google does - but Google costs more, but might be worth it. Clickthroughs vary widely on those three, from a lousy 0.57% (that only ran for about 10 days) to a decent 4.94% that has only served about 2,500 ads. I think the #2 item is probably the most important, and you should probably search for the competors product (have they been out longer than yours?) and see where they are listed, and get listed there too. And as always, it's not good enough to just be available, you need to be better, faster, stronger than the other products - gotta have some good reason for people to WANT to use your product, other than "try it, you'll like it". It's a bitch writing up good adverts/listing comments...

OK that's cool advice indeed. Thanks. :) 2.0, hmmm. Do you think we should bring out 2.0 instead of 1.1? Regards, Rohit Sinha Meet Browsy

Two suggestions, 1. Send out review copies to both print and online magazines 2. Ring up some magazines and ask how you can get your software on a magazine coverdisk.

If you are targeting Indian audience then I would suggest the following: How about including the tool along with PCQuest magazine CD version[^]. I know every month they provide hundreds of shareware tools on their CD. Find out the same for other countries.

The others have given good advice and I cannot add much except this; I think the name of the product is, well, not good. I don't want to hurt your feelings but Browsy to me sounds childish, like a product targeted at kids or stay at home moms who need some company. Even the tagline, Meet Browsy, reinforces that. Meet Barney the friendly dinosaur. Meet Browsy the friendly browser. It reminds me of Clippy. This is a purely personal opinion and others may think it is a great name. I have never been a fan of juvenile names for anything actually so it may just be that. Don't be offended alright, nothing personal about it. Just my straight opinion as requested. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Miszou wrote: I have read the entire internet. on how boring his day was. Crikey! ain't life grand?

Not that we are sure an investor would be interested either. So whatever. We need to bring people to our website and make them download and try out our software. If no one tries it out, no one is going to buy it, right? So how do we do it? What do you advise? I can't just sit here twiddling my thumbs and biting my nails while days pass by, can I? :( Regards, Rohit Sinha Meet Browsy
I'll add your site link to an upcoming article from Vikram and I which includes CPian's websites catagorized. There are over 500K surfers coming out here, it might help some. Send me the following info: website, CP login name, short description (20-30-ish words), and category(probably Products) I can't give you a date when the article will be up, but it won't be too long from now.

The others have given good advice and I cannot add much except this; I think the name of the product is, well, not good. I don't want to hurt your feelings but Browsy to me sounds childish, like a product targeted at kids or stay at home moms who need some company. Even the tagline, Meet Browsy, reinforces that. Meet Barney the friendly dinosaur. Meet Browsy the friendly browser. It reminds me of Clippy. This is a purely personal opinion and others may think it is a great name. I have never been a fan of juvenile names for anything actually so it may just be that. Don't be offended alright, nothing personal about it. Just my straight opinion as requested. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Miszou wrote: I have read the entire internet. on how boring his day was. Crikey! ain't life grand?
