I've run this gallery scripts for free over several years. (and won nothing with it) Now i make a new version and try to sell it for the lowest possible price and cabum...0 Is it really impossible to sell anything online anymore? Gallery in question, demo here: http://claymorefans.co.cc It doesn't require mysql, it shows the content of ftp...
Maybe it's just not worth 5 bucks. I'm sure there's a better alternative out there available for no charge at all. GL though.
then list the so called better alternatives that require no pre-processing or DB By the way, giving it free is not an alternative either already did that in the past and i got nothing from it, i rather send it to recycle bin
Start by having a new web 2.0 design and changing your site's domain to .com. People tends to look .co.cc sites as a bit "cheap" and instantly thinks that this is either a non quality product or warez. Sorry for being a bit harsh but its the truth. UPDATE: Lol, thats the demo erk? Pretty ok but still need some touchup for the products page http://dg.no.sapo.pt/ and I was right about the .com thingy
what is this 2.0 you talk about? you mean dynamic crap moving and screwing your screen? Go say that to google's main page, it need touch-up too By the way that ugly page you say needs touch-up is PR3, i have much better looking ones that are nothing but PR1
Now2, no need to be defensive. I though you want recommendations I can assure you if you don't believe me you are welcome to ask for a site review at here. My suggestions as I said before: 1) Look for web 2.0 clean design something like this script or this 2) Change to your own domain .com and own website. The site your using looks like a bit too simple free host. I am sorry if you feel offended and won;t give any more suggestions. Cheerio
on your sales page you are giving away the old version whilst at the same time trying to sell the new version. Personally, if i can get v2.3 for free or 2.4 for $5, everytime i will chose the free option. I think it is probably your marketing and sales strategy rather than your product or the internets fault.
Its very easy to sell galleries - http://activeden.net/ . But as a scripted gallery (rather than these plug and play flash ones) what do you really offer? http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/30-free-flash-photo-galleries-and-tutorials/ Sure, yours has organisation etc - but these plug into my website and look cool. Think of you market - see what they like and then deliver something new and fresh.
Hmm...is there any easier way to make money without the needs to spend hours writing useless scripts that nobody wants? Im a bit tired of this crap...
