  • How much will you charge for a license for your software ?
  • Is it a per user license ? a site license ? a per seat license ?
  • What is your target market ?
  • How much will customers be prepared to pay ?
  • Are you going to give your potential customers a free trial first ?
  • Or are you going to make them pay up front before they get the software ?
  • Do you offer discounts for the purchase of multiple licenses ?
  • How will you protect your software from piracy ?
  • How will you take payment ?
  • How will your customers find you ?
  • How will you promote your software ?
  • Will you use affiliates ?
  • Do you have a web site set up ?
  • How do you get Google to index your web site ?

I’ll deal with all of these questions and more in the Selling Software – Preparing For Sale series of posts over the coming weeks.
