eComStation market

What are the global goals?

  • The users need more native applications
  • It's necessary pay for development

One of the methods to achieve the goals - development of cheap 1$ applications. "1$ application" - means that the cost of the program is very low (1$ .. 10$), the program is aimed to perform 1 function. The users are happy to buy such programs because the functionality is enough.

..... ...., ... ..........., ... ... ......... ......... ..... ......., 30$, .. 50$.. . ... .. ....... ......... .. ...... ....?

... . ... .... 50 ....... shareware, .. ... ..... ... 1000 ...... ....... .........

What is the current state of eCS market? We have 50 shareware apps only.

What is wrong? We need thousands of shareware apps.

You enter to McDonalds and see.. Big mac = 50 EURO, Juice = 80 EURO. I have 5 EURO only, give me cheap big mac.

Something is wrong on eCS market. If we have 50 expensive products, there should be 1000 cheap products and 10 000 thousand of open source.

What do we offer to the developers?

Offering for developers: develop small cheap shareware apps

The development of full-featured applications requires many efforts. That's why major part of eComStation shareware applications are very expensive.

Do the users need large graphics editors like Photoshop? Major part of users need simple editor for 5$ (or something like this).

Are you interested to develop small shareware applications? Let's discuss this topic in the forums on eComStation / OS/2 web-sites.

  • How to distribute cheap apps? Solution: eCo Market is ready to distribute such products.
  • How to accept payments from users? Solution: Gift Cards
  • How to make payments to the developers?

  • No software at the initial moment.
  • Large amounts of sellings because they millions of customers

Can we use the model on eCS market?

Arguments:

  • It's a service of customers and they are ready to pay
  • It's necessary develop market relations, this approach may attract new developers and users
  • The developers create many apps already but don't release to public because don't have interest.

Usually, if you want to buy good and cheap, you end making two purchases. I have been puzzled with the concept of developing software and putting a hat to circulate among users. You make a product which has some price label.
