    IF you want to make sale, the best way is launch an affiliate program, post your message calling for JV on DP forum or WF.
    Another method: run a PPC campaign (Google or Facebook)
    Another method: use Infographic to promote
    Good luck!

    you wont sell anything when you are using a .tk domain name. Try to get a more respectable, and more widely known tld domain name as that will bring more trust and respect to the site.

    I have looked at the "demo" and find the layout unattractive (sorry), but this turns me off. If you get rid of the things that look like ads, (Right now, it looks like you have 3 banners (not that they work)) removing this will make it look nicer.
    I know sites like ebay have ads, and to me, this looks very unprofessional. I believe no classifieds that earn from sellers / buyers should have ads on their system. The fact that others do it, doesnt make it professional.

    Again, regarding the layout of the "demo", I also find that I am used to a proper site having a like a more standard layout, with a company logo top left, some sort of navigation where I can find out more about the company, contact page, shopping cart?, terms of service, privacy policy, and other important details.
    I dont mean to be harsh, but if this is the demo of what you are selling, I doubt you will sell.

    It also doesnt help when links on your home page are broken.

    Marketing will be a major pain. You *can* sell the script via digitalpoint. And a few times, when I have searched google for software, threads on DP do come up, and I have made purchases this way. I am sure this could work for you, as alot of people on here and also on google can find your product.
    But to be really successful, you will need to spend money on advertising, but even with a fantastic product, you might struggle to make sales.

    One thing that might be better to do, is spend your time building a site that acts as an affiliate page, that sells YOUR product, and OTHERS products. This way you promote *that* site, and will you have more chance of making money. Like right now, if you spend on advertising, and bring in 100 highly targeted visitors, that are seeking your product, they are of course going to review and compare your product to others. So out of 100 visitors, you might make 1-10 sales (depending on landing page, site layout and other conversion factors), but if you had a review site that had affiliate links to competitors products, you might make 1-10 sales of your product, as well as earning 10-50 affiliate commissions from the people that didnt want your product but brought from a competitor.-> just really, with the product you have right now, I believe this is the best way to go, and push all your marketing efforts into promoting an affiliate/review type site, and I believe the potential and ROI to earn from affiliate is more then what you can from selling your own software on its own.

    (note, all numbers pulled out of my ass for example purposes only.)

    Here are some great ways to promote your product:
    • Facebook ads (really cheap!)
    • Solo ads (email your product to a giant list of targeted email subscribers...check out safe-swaps)
    • Get your product listed on JVZoo and/or Clickbank (free/cheap, and other people will literally get sales FOR you!)
    • Get publicity by replying to HARO inquiries
    • Craigslist marketing (I'm sure there are some very successful Craigslist marketers on this forum!)
    • StumbleUpon Paid Discovery ($0.10 clicks that can be targeted by interest)
    Those are just some ideas to get you started...

    Why not try social media?
    #1 Facebook
    #2 Twitter
    #3 Google Plus
    #4 Linkedin
    Also, if you are targeting a certain niche you can try Pinterest as it can drive more visitors to view your product/visit your site.
