I totally agree on pricing. The lower you price your service the less valued it will be by your customers. I can't speak for plugins, but this advice should apply to pretty much anything. Just raise the price in the next version. If you overprice it, nobody will buy and you'll know fairly quickly. Then you can always lower it until you find a happy medium.
I've tested this out in two industries... legal and web.
There is also a book with checking out (kind of obscure) by an author named Gary Cone called "Price Doesn't Count," in which Mr. Cone argues that if there are objections to a sale, price is rarely the issue.

[sarcasm] oh yeah, count me in as a partner, if it's that simple! [/sarcasm]
just having no clue at all, let others do the work, not doing any real research at all, just asking stupid questions and then cash in the big money? Dream on, buddy, life's not goin' to work like that. Else, I would be as rich as Bill by now.

Either learn how to write a web site or pay someone to do it

Its not going to be much of a business if you don't know how you are going ot make money from it.

Shows how little you understand what you are talking about.
I suggest you find another get rich quick scheme, possibly where you have at least a slight understanding of the inductry.

gotten your attention with the subject line? well you won't find much about these topics here.
Don't buy a magazine subscription, don't search the Business forum, just visit our Lounge, it is flooded business-wise.
Maybe they can move that kind of srious stuff over here, so we again can find the jokes and stories, and the daily CCC; and mock the programming questions which now are just inundated.

Hello,
I have deployed a Silverlight Based DB Schema editor. For me it's a bit hard to promote it (some sites has accepted it as product show case like Silverlight Show), any tip or advice? where to go? Where the are interested in publish news like this? (normally news sites have too much attitude to put the eye on an app developed by a dude like me  ).
The link to the site:
http://www.dbschemaeditor.com[^]
Some info about it:
DB Schema Editor is a free RIA Web application that will let you design Database Schemas and generate scripts for SQL Server, My SQL, Postgre SQL, SQLite and Oracle directly from your Browser.
Thanks a lot

Sounds good is it a web based editor or one that can download?
If it is a web based, you can go to others web development forums or web masters
forums and
post your free offer there as a signature or some advertising space when
they allow.
Hopes that help

Thanks for the info,
Is a web based editor (Dev technology Silverlight). Any other good idea? or site/forum to post the announcement?
thanks

Are there any developers here who do professional photography during weekends? If so do you mind sharing your thoughts on how you go about doing this. Some interesting bits would be how people perceive you as a photographer (considering you are a programmer in your day job). Whether you enjoy the weekends more than you enjoy writing code. Whether the extra income ever gets large enough to not only cover the costs of expensive SLR lenses and flash equipment, but also add to your savings. Thanks.

I used to be a wedding photog while in college for CS. I got out of it because it was just draining; school, work, plus that. If you are just starting you aren't going to make a lot of money; you have to invest in a lot of equipment plus you need to build a portfolio which means doing some stuff at cost or even lose money to get a good start.
After a couple years I was in high demand; I often did Friday and Saturday weddings back to back. It was good money at that point, but I had no life from May to September, so now I only take pics for myself!

What? real photographers use Voigtlaender[^].

OK, then maybe people here can answer this. I have a background in optics but have never really had the opportunity to test this out but...
What is the idea behind laminating lenses? I often see lens diagrams that show a convex lens snugged right up against a concave lens... why?

Hi,
From Google to Wikipedia to this page[^]:
seems chromatic aberration and spherical aberration get reduced that way.

Ah, you know that makes perfect sense now that I think about it.
Thanks.

Actually neither; I used Minolta for my 35mm and now I am looking at investing in the Cannon D-60. For medium format I use a 4.5 x 6 Bronica w/view finder and speed grip. An extra film load box is also handy for medium format.

Ah okay. I didn't even know that Canon has a D60 too (Nikon has one).
I have a Nikon D80 as well as a D40X. My lens collection is kinda non-existent right now, I just have the 18-55 kit lens from the 40X and I also own a 50mm 1.8 prime. My next purchase will be an external flash, and after that I may also purchase a fast 17-50 F/2.8 Tamron lens. Until I get the flash and the fast Tamron, I don't dare to even attempt to assist someone.
But once I get some practice and get better at taking pics, I'd like to be a 2nd shooter at a wedding or some social event.

That's a bit harsh. Would you take the groom out from the grassy knoll?

Well, I could talk about my wife's experience running a photography business, or about my career as a professional hitman. Your choice.
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe your wife could enlighten us about your career hits and provide some artists impressions while doing so. You do know this forum if any will definitely need a way to show pictures, graphics, and charts, pie or otherwise.

How about your wife's experience running a professional hit man?
