Nobody is blessed with ALL the skills it takes to make a successful business. That’s why most businesses have a management team, a creative team, and a technical team. You have to figure out where you fit into that team.

If you feel like you are very creative, but don’t have the skills to carry out the technical process, it is very important to find someone who can.

What a Programmer Can Do For You:

First of all, it is important to know that programmers are probably the least creative people in the world. Programmers don’t know how to match colors, don’t know what “looks hip”, and definitely don’t know how to market themselves or their products.

So, when you do hire a programmer, you have to be ready to explain every little detail about your program down to the smallest color.

A Program That Solves Problems:

When creating and designing a program, you have to figure out, first of all, what a major problem people are having, and how your program is going to solve it. This program has to solve problems for millions of people if you want it to be successful. Not only that, it should be so good that your customers will want to recommend it to their friends and families.

Monetizing Your Program:

There are two main ways to monetize your program.

1. Selling your program directly.

a. You can sell the software to distributors or to customers directly

b. You can set up an affiliate program for people to make a commission off of selling your program.

2. You can give away a trial or free version:

a. trial – a trial version will allow a customer to get hooked on your product. Once your customer is hooked, he will have no choice but to buy the full program.

b. free – a free (limited and advertisement-filled) version will make your program become viral. If that happens, many people will see your product and eventually click on the ads you have attached to the program.
