I am about to tell you a great playground for creating your own apps, no matter if it is for iPhone, Droid, or Blackberry. AppBreeder has impressed me with their online interface and inclusive hosting fee that gives you the ability to start building a concept on your own terms.

With preset templates for various niches like music, events, realty, legal, portfolios, restaurants, and much more, AppBreeder definitely had the larger and straightforward range of features over other platforms I evaluated – good job to the team over there.

Around here on HM9, we like different, and AppBreeder provided that for me in the sense of their approach to building apps. It wasn’t just another cookie cutter online app building platform attempting to tap into the growing market. It comes across as a serious option for garnishing more exposure for your brand or product. Plus if you get in hot water and over your head, you can easily opt for their custom help.

Now, isn’t it time to go mobile?

No we won’t. You know why, and I know why. So this post is for everyone that does not. The ones that don’t understand what we do exactly. You know, the friend or neighbor who looks at you funny because you come and go as you please, and you don’t “work a real job”. No, an Internet Marketer does not work a real job. We work a surreal job.

You won’t find an Internet Marketer in the unemployment line because we make things happen. We choose to forge our own path. We are self-driven, we are entrepreneurs, and we are those willing to think not only outside of the box, but outside of the realm. The same mysteries surrounded the early colonists, the early pioneers, and probably even the early cavemen. It has been around for centuries, to question those that choose to make their own way, create their own future, and roam with like-minded people. We come from every section of the world, every race, every religion, and every decree. But what fuels us is all the same.

Internet Marketing – Will the recession affect it? No. A recession is just another reason for one of us to become even more creative, launch a new product that teaches others, or create the next social media platform that helped the ones still stuck inside the realm land a “real job”. The Internet Marketer does not stand in line, they go buy a domain.

Pass this on to those who need it. Until next time….

So you have your great product in hand huh? How do you go about getting into the hands of all your customers now? You mind is already going, how do I supply licenses, how do I collect payments from every source imaginable? Yep, all sorts of stuff to think about. Let’s take a look at a few things that we hope can make this much easier for you.

Ok, first suggestion is to break your software or digital product sales into two different mindsets. 1. You are going to need a licensing system and 2. You need a sales platform.

Now, we are not getting paid to promote any of these services below and they are not ranked in any certain order. I like simple and effective, so I have listed some of the easiest ways to get your product out there quickly, and with little hassle. You should always pick what works best for you by playing around with free trials and such, and of course grow your system as you grow. Most of the options listed below are very affordable and give you good grounds to start your business with.

1. Intelliprotector.com

IntelliProtector is a software activation service with a web-based control panel that helps you reduce a form of piracy known as “casual copying”. Casual copying is a common form of piracy characterized by the sharing of software between people in a way that infringes on the software’s end-user license agreement (EULA). Casual copying is very prevalent today and accounts for a large portion of the economic losses due to piracy.

2. SoftLocker.net

SoftLocker.net is an easy but advanced solution for protecting any file, including popular formats like EXE, PDF, audio and video files. With just one account you can lock an unlimited number of files. Just add the file to your SoftLocker.net account and then use our simple locking software on your file. Only users with a proper registration code will be able to access your file.

3. SoftwareKey.com

With an amazing range of functionality this powerful toolkit meets a wide range of customer needs. Protection PLUS™ is working tirelessly for over 5000 customers in 118 countries and protecting hundreds of millions of dollars of software. With the Protection PLUS™ software licensing toolkit you can protect your software, create trial versions, implement Electronic License Activation and so much more.

4. Crypkey.com

For over a decade, CrypKey has been a leading global provider of software copy protection and licensing, supplying software security to thousands of clients in 60+ countries worldwide. With our major new product, CrypKey DLM, the power of our protection technology is available to many data files as well.

5. Nalpeiron.com

Everything you need to create secure trials and activate them over the Internet or manually. All editions secure your application on both on Mac®, Windows® & Linux PCs, x86 and x64, and offer both internet and offline activation options. End User Registration (automated) and free trials included.

Now again, this is not a final list. There are many great providers out there. These are just some at one time or another I have evaluated and found to be quality and working services, and still provide a great value. This post is going to have over 10,000 readers this month alone, so I would love to hear from one of you or a vendor of a licensing system on someone else that should be included in this listing.

For now, I am out. Enjoy life. Next week we cover selling platforms.

Here is what we would like to see regarding your particular software success story. Contact us through the website here and shoot us a quick sentence about what your success was with your app, either mobile, SAAS, desktop, etc. and we will get your hope for thousands posted here in the Haramain9 Blog featuring you and your app for the world to see. Simple as that.

Everyday we try to encourage the fact that the software industry should work together more, and not against each other. We can get a lot further along in this method, especially the independent software developers out there. Competition is too great, yet the market is as needful as ever for your great idea in technology.

When I started my online presence, I did it backwards and started with the harder choice of software marketing. In the long run, this was good because I learned more, even faster, even narrowing software marketing down to a science (hence why Michael and I are building The Software Formula for launch later this year, sorry, selfless plug) It is just that we know the potential that software has, and will continue to have for generating an online income. You have to know a little bit about the software industry and techniques to apply for success, but it is doable and very rewarding and easier to pickup than you think – especially in this continuously crazy economy we are all looking for ways to diversify our portfolios. Right?

So, I say again, software sales for your portfolio is a hidden niche still for the general marketing pro online. Take a look at our blog, read a few articles, and think it over. Don’t make it harder than it has to be, and anything too technical you can outsource to the kid down the street who knows more than all of us put together.
