    I'm looking for a couple websites where you can sell the software you create. It could be like the istockphoto of programming. Anyone know of any?

    You should submit the software to all the download sites, many of them have affiliate programs and if you give them a decent cut they will promote your software more.

    Create a PAD file to make the submissions easier you can find details on PAD on the ASP website at http://www.asp-shareware.org

    You can also get your software listed on Amazon, its a little tricky as you need a UPC code, so if its only a couple titles you may want to use a 3rd party to list it for you like Great Mind Software http://www.greatmindsoftware.com/ not sure if they are still accepting titles though. If you have a bunch of applications to sell, you sign up with the GS1 to get UPC's then you can list them on Amazon.

    Another site you may find useful that contains lots of information on Software Marketing is http://www.developer-resource.com there was another called Software Marketing Resource but it appears to be down now.

    Glad I could help.

    I see most of your stuff is related to games. You may want to check out the Game Developers Conference and the Game Developer Forum, there is also a Indie Game Developer Forum that you may find useful. My experience is more related to business software, so those forums may help you reach gamers better.

    There are loads of shareware sites around that you can submit to - at least 1000. If you need help submitting, I'd recommend RoboSoft.
