Dear
Developer,
Submitting your new software product is repetitive and time consuming,
but nevertheless a very important task. Developers do not want
to spend their time browsing from one shareware site to another
and entering the same data over and over.
Traditional
way
Instead of typing the same information on every site you can use
the standard clipboard. Copy the title from a text file and then
paste it in the submission form. Copy the homepage link from a
text file and then paste it on the submission page etc.
Fortunately
there are methods that will increase your submission speed.
PAD files
About 15% of all the shareware sites have PAD file support. PAD
files allow fast submissions by entering the URL of your PAD file.
The PAD file holds the information for the application to submit.
For more information on how to create and use a PAD file please
see: http://www.asp-shareware.org/
Instant
Clipboard
For the remaining 85% of the shareware sites that don't have PAD
support, Instant Clipboard offers an elegant solution. Instant
Clipboard will allow you to have many clipboards at the same time.
You can associate every clipboard with a key. E.g. first associate
the title with the key "T", the homepage link with the
key "H" and the description with the key "D"
etc.
At
the point of submission simply press CTRL + "T" to paste
the title, CTRL + "H" to paste the homepage link and
CTRL + "D" to paste the description. By eliminating
the need of swapping to the text file the submission speed will
dramatically increase. For more information please see: http://www.sureshotsoftware.com/clipboard/index.html
Conclusion
Traditional average submission time at CNET's upload.com: 1 minute
and 40 seconds. Instant Clipboard average submission time at CNET's
upload.com: 35 seconds.
There are
hundreds of submission sites out there. Submitting software is
very time-consuming. Since only 15% support PAD files a useful
complement is Instant Clipboard.
Please
let me know
if you want further information on how Instant Clipboard can help
you to improve your submission times.
Yours
sincerely,
Sureshot Software
