Why should you submit to shareware sites?

You spent weeks, months, or even years to develop your shareware product, and now you want the world to know about your product, download and try it, and hopefully finally buy it.

Even if you are convinced that you have just finished the latest and greatest software product in the world, it won't automatically sell itself. You must make your prospective customers know about your product. For shareware products, submission to shareware sites is indispensable to reach this goal.

You can think of shareware sites as of virtual shop-windows. By submitting your software to shareware sites, you put your product right in front of your potential customers. This results in increased exposure and direct downloads.

The benefit of being listed on many shareware sites is not only the direct exposure, but also the additional links to your website. This leads to better Google rankings, results in more traffic on your web site and finally more customers for your product.

Publishing your products on these sites makes an easy way of advertising with a huge benefit for your products and company. However, submitting to many sites can be a time-consuming and tedious task - at least without help from SharewarePublisher.

How will SharewarePublisher help you?

SharewarePublisher is a submission tool and assistant for Mac OS X, helping software developers and vendors to time-efficiently submit their products to software download sites. With SharewarePublisher, you can submit to 100+ sites within a few hours, which would take you several days otherwise.

SharewarePublisher comes with a list of almost 200 leading shareware sites – with pre-configured site URLs, submission URLs, carefully hand-tuned ratings/priorities, and more. Its unique two-tab web viewer allows you to locate all the listing and submission pages for your products and to autofill all the submission forms with a single click.

Words cannot fully describe the benefits offered by SharewarePublisher. We therefore invite you to view a short demo movie and download a fully functional trial version.

A PAD file is a quite handy way for software authors to provide software download sites with information about new releases of their products. It stores all the descriptions and specifications you need to submit in one single place.

Starting with version 1.2, SharewarePublisher is also a full-fledged PAD editor. With its new built-in PAD file generation feature, SharewarePublisher makes it amazingly easy to create and modify PAD files. By means of a single menu command you can export all the needed information in the correct format and create a PAD file according to the newest PAD specification.

Installation

To install SharewarePublisher, download it from our downloads page. SharewarePublisher is distributed as a Mac OS X disk image (DMG). Once you have mounted the disk image, simply drag the application icon to your Applications folder and double-click the copy you have just created.

You can test SharewarePublisher as long and as often as you wish. However, as long as you don't have a license key, you can access only a subset of the predefined shareware sites.

Registering SharewarePublisher with a license key immediately removes this limitation and does not require a new download or installation.

The current version of SharewarePublisher is 1.2. Read the release notes and download the current version.
