The Association of Shareware Professionals has posted the results of their September 2004 survey:
<http://www.asp-shareware.org/polls/sept04poll.asp>


Don't let the term "shareware" throw you. Very few members of the ASP turn out true "shareware", in the sense of fully-featured apps that rely solely on the honor system for compensation. Today's ASP membership are for the most part turning out commercial wares, with semi-functional or time-limited demos just like the major vendors. In other words, ASP members are individuals and small businesses who turn out commercial software, just like you. :)

The report contains some interesting and perhaps inspiring info. Most noteworthy is that such software tends to fall into two groups: hobbyists, which make relatively little money, or really successful professional efforts that pull in far more than the average per-person GDP.

Worth a read....
