I’m creating software for 6 years in real terms. I created many end-user services on the web, I have apps on Android Market, iOS App Store and Windows Phone Marketplace.

I didn’t sell any of it. I didn’t make any money out of something I coded. Not even a single dime.

Selling stuff is a whole different concept. While doing so, the way you create, analyze, and promote your product is way different than doing hobby projects.

Frankly, I sometimes feel the lack of having

  • negotiated for the price of something you sell
  • worked on increasing sales
  • done accounting incomes and expenses.

These are the real deal. If you are a product guy, try to sell stuff, no matter how small it is. And that’s what I’m going to do.
