How did I get my first paying customer? One of many stories... I had an application I had written for my own personal use. I was talking to a guy who asked how I did something. I told him I had written this program. He said "I'll pay you $200 for a copy of that." So I took a weekend to add copy protection, and accepted his check. Pleased that I actually had a commercial product, I then spent the next couple weeks putting together a web site advertising it as a product and things went from there.
