So almost 3 months into the new year and it is not looking good for my business. Sales in the past week have dropped drastically, I have had no sales for the past week, despite having the best ever start to any year. Nothing has changed in download count or search engine results. Last week has been a crazy week in the US. With the economic situation not improving anytime soon I have a really bad feeling about all of this. What frustrates me is that I cannot do anything about it, other than lowering prices (which I doubt will do much).
Right now... I can only wait. It would be good if sales could resume to what they were before but I doubt so. The zero sales in the past week has never happened before, not even when I was making almost nothing a month back almost 8 years ago. More will unfold in the next month, however I do not expect an improvement with regards to the present situation.
My present plans right now are to
- Save, save and save financially since my business is currently making nothing and I will have to rely on my "real job" with Boeing. Previously I have hardly, if ever, spent a cent of my salary with them, looks like that's going to change. :(
- Learn programming on the Mac, after which I will port over at least one of my software to the popular platform. I've started to learn it, it's different from Windows programming but from what I have learnt so far the changes are a good change.
- Investigate into different products which I can develop. Not all segments of software are affected, it will seem I will have to extend my product line to include other kinds of software. I don't look forward to this as it would mean specialising outside of my product niche, but we will see if I will.
