However, what you might not <\/em>know is how the heck to do it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"confused$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Fortunately, with WordPress <\/strong>and MemberPress<\/strong>, you can sell your software subscriptions online fast and easy \u2013 putting ZERO profits in Big Tech\u2019s pockets<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This dynamic duo enables you to set up different subscription <\/strong>plans, offer customer support<\/strong>, and do pretty much everything else you need to run your own software product business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All without <\/em>paying third-party fees (AKA, rev share).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this post, we\u2019ll explain why <\/strong>you might want to sell your software independently online. Then, we\u2019ll show you how <\/strong>to start a software business in 6 simple steps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So let\u2019s get busy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Why You Should Sell Software Subscriptions<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In a traditional ecommerce business, customers pay a one-time fee<\/strong> for a physical product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, when it comes to software, you\u2019re much better off charging annual or monthly fees<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Enable ongoing services, support + development<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s because customers are paying for the initial software download plus <\/em><\/strong>ongoing\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Updates <\/strong>and security <\/strong>fixes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
New features<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
General maintenance<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
Product support<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
These ongoing services<\/strong> are not only valuable, they\u2019re necessary<\/em> to maintain a high quality, useful product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Expand your potential audience<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Subscriptions are typically cheaper<\/strong> than permanently buying a piece of software. They also tend to be more accessible and easier for non-techies to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So subscription-based pricing makes your software available to a larger audience<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Generate recurring revenue<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The subscription model is awesome for your bottom line for lots of reasons. But one of the most significant is the potential for recurring revenue<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since your software is a digital product<\/a>, you won\u2019t need to keep track of inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether you create fonts, apps, or WordPress plugins<\/a>, you can sell your software online via digital download fast and easy with a monetization platform like MemberPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can also add additional revenue streams to your software product website by including things like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Affiliate marketing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
VIP forums<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Webinars and podcasts<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Paywalled content<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
And just about anything else you can conjure up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But before you do too much conjuring, you\u2019ll want to make sure you\u2019ve got the resources you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Tools You\u2019ll Need<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
$\"MemberPress$ <\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Even if you\u2019ve never created a website before, the right tools will make selling your software product online an easy and seamless job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>WordPress<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The WordPress<\/a> content management system powers\u00a0 43.2% of all websites<\/a>. And it\u2019s popularity isn\u2019t surprising. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
WordPress is ultra user friendly and incredibly extensible \u2013 thanks to its more than 55,000 available plugins<\/a>. These plugins add a list of functions that\u2019s almost endless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>MemberPress<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For your software business, you\u2019ll likely want to create different subscription options for specific features. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
MemberPress<\/a> \u2013 the world\u2019s #1 WordPress monetization and membership plugin \u2013 lets you do that, plus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Create membership plans<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Set up subscription billing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Protect your software with access rules<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Enable digital downloads<\/li>\n\n\n\n
and more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Software License Manager Plugin<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Software License Manager<\/a> is a handy plugin that lets you create an API-based software license server right on your site. You can use it to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Create <\/strong>license keys<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Check <\/strong>license status from your application and remotely<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Activate <\/strong>and deactivate <\/strong>license keys<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Track <\/strong>license key usage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
These tools will help you build a product site, create subscriptions<\/a>, and license your software without an iota of design or web creation experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the process (which we\u2019ll go over in a minute) is incredibly easy. Just ask Krisp<\/strong>\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
MemberPress Site Example \u2013 Krisp<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\nKrisp<\/a> is a software that optimizes audio for online meetings. The software uses a tiered pricing<\/strong> plan, sold on a website powered by MemberPress<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s considered a freemium pricing model<\/a>, which allows customers to try out the product before upgrading. <\/p>\n\n\n
\n
$\"Krisp$ <\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
If a user keeps the software, they\u2019re automatically charged a monthly subscription fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
Ready to roll like Krisp? It\u2019s way easier than you think. Just follow these steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>How to Start a Software Business (Sell Your Software Online) in 6 Steps<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Once you\u2019ve developed your new software, it\u2019s time to start selling it online. Here are 6 basic steps you can take to get your software subscription business up and running!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Step 1: Create Your WordPress Website<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
WordPress<\/a> is just plain awesome. Like we said, it\u2019s got tons of free and premium plugins and themes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So you can do pretty much anything <\/em>with it.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
$\"The$ <\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
Although you can certainly download and install WordPress yourself, web hosting<\/a> makes this process easier and faster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Providers like Bluehost<\/a> will set up your server with all the resources you need to get started:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
$\"Bluehost$ <\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
Plus, Bluehost<\/a> has cost-effective plans that are optimized for WordPress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Starting at just $2.95 per month, you\u2019ll get a free domain<\/a>, a content delivery network (CDN), and automatic WordPress installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After your purchase, you\u2019ll receive login information for WordPress, and you can get busy building your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To get started, you\u2019ll want to choose a theme<\/a> and apply it to your site. There are lots of free options <\/strong>designed specifically for software companies:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n

\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019ve just wrapped up your software, you\u2019re probably eager to get selling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The good news is, MemberPress comes with a built-in pagemaker called ReadyLaunch\u2122<\/a>. And it\u2019s enabled on installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You just set your colors, add your logo, put in some custom text, and voila <\/em>\u2013 you get gorgeous MemberPress pages that are\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Mobile-responsive<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
Optimized to sell<\/strong>, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Branded<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Between the MemberPress setup wizard and ReadyLaunch\u2122 pagemaker, you can get your site set up and ready to sell in under a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But first, you\u2019ll need something to sell\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Step 2: Upload Your Software<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll want customers to be able to download your software in a digital file. Fortunately, MemberPress makes this easy to set up, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
