It is amazing how some software creators simply give away their product to the public. It is likely that you have gone online at least once to download a free software program, never questioning how the creator is able to make money when he is giving his software away. If you have an interest in creating software, and would also like to be a blessing to the public by offering it for free, here is how you can do so while still making an income.

• First of all, of course, you are going to need a website, and therefore, you will want to take some time pondering a short but memorable domain name, so that others can find you online easily. Then, you will need to sign up with a web hosting service, which in many cases can also register your domain for you.

• Check which software is highly sought-after and offer it free on your site. Optimize your site for keywords that are related to these searches.

• When creating your website, be mindful to keep it simple and easy to navigate. People can easily get frustrated with sites that are confusing and slow.

• To make money from your site, incorporate Google AdSense in your sidebar, which will pay you a commission per click. However, it is going to take a massive amount of marketing to gain enough traffic for the commission payments to add up to a respectable wage.

• Upon completion of the website, you should immediately submit it to the three major search engines: Google, Yahoo and Bing. Then, send out press releases to as many media contacts as you are able to locate online and try to get your domain name posted in as many locations as possible. Social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter can also work to your advantage. It would additionally be helpful to utilize programs such as Google Analytics to gauge how much traffic you are actually generating.

• When traffic increases to thousands of hits per day, then you may wish to incorporate other money-making ventures, such selling banner space on your site to various advertisers, or engaging in traffic exchange.

With all of these factors combined, your hard work can pay off and turn into a successful venture if you remain diligent about the process.
