Successful business model of small development tool
- by Vladimir
I have an idea on my mind to develop and sell small helpful developer tools like the tool asked in this question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2562378/visual-objects-editor.
I am looking for your answers which will shortly describe "How" and "What" to sell in order to be successful at that.
I imagine different answers here from concrete to more general.
Examples:
"Sell your visual objects editor and I will buy it :-)"
"Tbe only way to sell developer tool is to integrate it with known Java IDE"
"Developers won't pay for the tools they use. Make it free and be famous"
I encourage others to vote for the answers they like the most.
