I've made an addon-program for game streamers, one day I decided to go "heck", why not ask some money for a license.
I can't really say I'm making a "living" off of it but for a student I do have a /really/ nice income.
It's a /very/ specific application though. It swims along with the bigger fish like Open Broadcaster Service and xsplit, when they go down, I go down.
- randhnuser 10y agoI'm currrently reading "Don't just roll the dice" which is a really nice and short book about software pricing. It's freely available too at https://www.red-gate.com/library/dont-just-roll-the-dice https://www.red-gate.com/library/dont-just-roll-the-dice What I want to say to you and the others in the thread is: maybe you can extract more money at a different price point by reading that book.
- azeirah 10y agoThanks for the recommendation, will have a look. I'm a little skeptical of price changes though. Partially because of ethics ("Why'd he have to pay 5$ while I have to pay 8$?"), and partially because of my target audience, mainly students and young adults (18-28) Regardless, it's interesting to look into
- taprun 10y agoHere's a cheat: When you raise your price, you can bundle something else in. That will automatically prevent people from asking "Why am I paying more?" It doesn't even have to be that impressive. Spend an hour and write an extra guide, checklist or something like that. Make sure that it's clear to buyers that this add on is new. Done.
