Today, I live my dream – earning passive income via multiple channels selling my digital products and services…especially my custom Excel-Visual Basic software. In this article, I point out the fact that you can sell spreadsheet software you get from me, and keep the money
It has been gratifying to have growing numbers of my target audience responding to my offers. As this year (2014) draws to a close, I’ve been making special promotional offers of a combination of my custom Excel software and Web Marketing solutions.
Starting from January 2015, some of my products and services will feature new prices and terms/conditions for purchase.
However, I am keen to make it easier for more people to take up the solutions I offer – especially my custom Excel Software.
My conversations with many Farm CEO clients and subscribers to my newsletter mailing list, made me realize the need to give them as many options as possible to choose from.
That’s why I’ve revived a series of options I first began using back in 2004, but which I later put aside due to non-interest from clients who hired me.
Back then I still worked on site and face to face with clients. Today, I no longer do that.
Below, I highlight key benefits intending buyers can reap, if they choose to purchase my custom Excel-VB solutions
Since 1st April 2013, I have focussed on developing apps for sale, rather than take on custom development projects. This change of strategy has enabled me rapidly build a library of Excel-VB apps and information products, that I now actively promote to my target audience.
I intend to continue that way, and will only accept custom application development projects that offer remuneration I consider worthy of my investment of time and effort.
For persons who choose to buy my apps or hire me to build apps for them, you can explore one or more of the following options
1. You Can Make Money By Reselling Them
You can RESELL any application I build for you, to others.
Yes. All we have to do is formally discuss and agree what you want to do, and who your target audience are. Then I’ll build and/or customize the relevant app for you, and brand it 100% in your (or your company’s) name.
If you wish, I would also help you setup a marketing plan to promote the product to those you want to buy it.
You keep ALL the money you make. I would have NO say in it.
2. You Do Not Need to be PC Literate to Use my XL Apps
This is one of the key features of the solutions I offer. I’ve had to work with users who had minimal (sometines NO) PC or Excel familiarity. In order to ensure they could make use of the apps independent of me, I had to develop my own unique Graphic User Interfaces, that are intuitive and automated.
It took me thousands of hours of trial and error and countless sleepless nights to get it right, but eventually I did.
Today, the floating modeless, dynamic menu driven data entry and report generation custom forms are my trademark. I use them to present the user friendly login interfaces and navigation menus. In some of my more sophisticated applications, the user can carry out virtually all key tasks on the floating form without have to interact directly with the Excel spreadsheet.
The foregoing is what makes it possible for novices to use my Excel software. They need not know Excel. Within 30 minutes most users can be taught to use my apps, and over time become capable of independent operation.
This is why I tell clients that: if you can use a mobile phone, then you can use my applications.
3. You are Unlikely to Need to Replace Them for YEARS
I work with clients to think ahead, and try to anticipate likely need(s) that would necessitate modifications in the application. Then I build in user-friendly interfaces that allow the user modify the program’s behaviour to accommodate the identified need(s).
The experiences I gained from developing applications for clients use in various industries, since 2004, have served me well in building the apps I now offer for sale. As a result, buyers are attracted to the solutions I offer because they are often comprehensive and based on tested models.
4. You DO NOT Have to Pay me CASH!
In making your payment, rather than send me money, you can, for instance, purchase – and ship to me (or yourself) – copies of my paperback books from my online store, equivalent in value to the invoiced amount, plus shipping and handling.
The idea is that you need not pay the full fee 100% in cash or with money.
Up to 50% of the price of any product or service I offer can be paid for in this manner. Indeed, I welcome suggestions or proposals from intending buyers on alternative ways to make payment for up to 50% of the fee.
