texte = > Its not bad for a test, just not sure if it brings in > developers like the word "FREE" So make it FREE -- not the software but at least the CD! Get someone to create the system and burn the CD's (it's advertising so the money comes from the advertising budget) and then WSC can distribute them to us so we can hand them out to everyone we know who might be interested. Distribute them in colleges to their programming students and professors. Make the .iso file downloadable at the WSC website so people can burn their own CD's if they cannot find someone to give them one. Make the CD's available online for $5 to cover postage and offer a $10 rebate when they buy a license to help defray the postage expense they had to pay in advance. There are SO MANY WAYS a physical thing like a CD can be used for advertising purposes -- and people actually remember it when someone hands then a CD -- vs. the impersonal feeling of downloading a file from the website. ------------------------ A nice video presentation on the CD that quickly *shows* everyone what they should do get started makes it even better -- and put a copy of this video on YouTube too so it drums up even more interest. Hehe, I'm just getting started with the ideas here! ------------------------ If the goal is to get the software in the hands of people quickly you do NOT simply sit back and "talk about it" or hope and pray that potential buyers are fortunate enough to find it online. Instead you become pro-active -- and get out there and hand the CD's out yourself. Yeah, it takes time and effort and money, but what do you expect? Anything that's worth it usually does ... :) Sincerely, Ken Grome
