To anyone who does donate ware, how well does it usually do? How many downloads is it until somebody donates something? [edited by - manastone on September 7, 2003 8:45:47 PM]

The conversion rate for shareware is about 1 - 1.5% (according to all the shareware developer/publishers here and on the Dexterity forums. You need to get a few products done as a back catalogue before you earn any semi-decent amount of cash.

No I think he really meant "donate-ware" google it. It''s like freeware that they expect someone to donate to them for out of good will. Or like shareware, but without the (important) part that forces you to pay up. I think most people who experimented with donate ware ended up doing freeware or shareware, because nobody really donates unless they feel the need to.

I think he means donut-ware

mmmmmmmmmmmm donuts....
