Sell Shareware

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Sell Shareware

Hey, where's the best place to sell shareware. Is shareIt any good.

Thanks a lot

shareIt is ok, personally I would recommend somewhere like plimus instead though.

When you say "sell" are you talking about somewhere just to handle the transactions? Or somewhere to market your software, like download.com?

To handle transactions. through, if there is a company where you can host your software on your own website and they'll market it as well as hanldle all of your transactions let me know.

Thanks

hey, plimus looks pretty nice, maybe I'll take a deeper look into it

Hey, while we are at it, how vital is it that you legally copyright your software before
selling. Will any of these shareware companies handle the copyright process for you.

Plmus won't market it for you, you need a publisher. Try Oberon? But only if you game is good ;-)

how vital is it that you legally copyright your software before selling
not vital at all. People will pirate it and if it's original they may copy your ideas but you can't do much about it unless you are a mega corp. Just focus on getting the game out there and the sales you will make.

Great that really helps

I'm working on a game engine but this was still very helpful. Thanks
