The survey was running from June 20 to July 23 and the results are now online.
These are the 7 questions that were asked:
- Which registration service are you using?
- Which of the following marketing methods are you using? (Multiple-choice question)
- What is your monthly AD budget?
- Which affiliate program service are you using?
- Where are you from?
- How old are you?
- Are you a full time shareware author?
Interesting points:
- Digital River’s market share in e-commerce services is 60% (owners of share-it, SWREG, RegNow etc).
- Only 21% of shareware authors is US based. I thought that number would be higher.
- 73% spend some money on advertising.
