How much profit you made on this little venture all together then?
It hasn't been that profitable. I have to put 50% of my profits back into advertising. So if I sell 15 copies a month, and make $22 profit on each, I make $4K a year off it, but then have to turn around and spend $2K of that on advertising.
I started selling it in 2005, so I've only made maybe $6-8K off it so far. But it continues to sell steadily, so I can expect it to continue to sell for at least 2-3 more years. And hopefully my changes in advertising will increase my gross to maybe $10K a year so I'll make $5K in profits.
I'll need to update it eventually though if I want to keep selling it because it doesn't work with 64bit operating sysems.
BigH:
Not really. I mean technically I could have a totally different website for each place I advertise, but that's not really realistic. The ad links go to my website so they can see the demo and list of features, not sraight to a purchase page.
