When I was writing my book, Easy Apps!, one thing which I had learned and shared in the book is that when it comes to selling a commercial software product, there is so much more involved than just writing the code. Writing the code is actually the easy part, but there are many other elements which must be done in order to be successful in software sales.
Here are just a few of them:
1. Marketing – one of the most important areas for success, and the one that takes the longest to get right
2. Legal – trademarks, corporate entity status, corporate veil, basic legal guidance
3. Financial – bank accounts, accounting help, QuickBooks integration, taxes, payroll, etc.
4. Customer Support – tech support, reimbursements, sales support
5. IT – all the issues associated with accessing, and securing your data, domain names, email services, SSL certificates, etc.
There is a lot involved with it.
