I Just Made My First Sale Woooooooooh

I just made my first web script sale, http://motyar.info/draw/

Its the code to draw like on canvas like ms paint. User can download the drawing.

I placed the "Buy It for just $10" one week ago. Here are more statics from Google analytics:-

467 Pageviews

327 Unique Views

00:04:20 Time on Page

78.95% Bounce Rate

69.59% % Exit

I need suggestion to improve sales.

Thank you all in advance!!

  • Contact the buyer, and find out WHY they bought it.

    Personally I can't see why anyone would spend money on this (no offence intended), but perhaps they have a use case I (and possibly you) haven't considered. You can then optimize your marketing for this.

  • What is it that I can buy? I can guess, but you're giving me no clues.

  • Other people have touched on your price and quality/usefulness of the app, so I'll ignore those.

    You're conversion rate is around ~0.3%, which actually isn't that horrible for an unoptimized site. Between 0.25% and 0.5% is pretty average for newly launched app.

    In terms of marketing and copy, you need to work on your message and audience. Who is going to use this? Probably not techy people who know how to use Photoshop/Illustrator.

    Perhaps grandmothers wanting to draw something for their kids? Or kids drawing something for their grandmothers? Either way, neither of those audiences know or care about "jQuery". This is just one example of how you need to optimize your message.

    With that said, I wouldn't put time or energy into promoting this further. There are a lot of great drawing/illustration programs, both online and offline, so its a pretty competitive market.

  • Try out http://sellfy.com/ - you can offer discounts for people who share your product with their Facebook/Twitter friends.

    You can also setup freemium (in they sahre) - paid (if they want just buy) model.

  • This is a pretty terrible canvas drawing app.

  • Do you know your price is easily hackable?

    Anyway I must implement a feature like this to my drawing app http://drawbang.com, cool idea!

  • That's pretty expensive for what you offer. You can't draw lines without moving the cursor slow enough for the dots to overlap. There is not even a brush size setting.

  • Despite what others say, getting people to pay you money is an achievement in itself. Keep improving the product using feedback you get from new visitors/users!

  • Congratulations!

    Do you have any idea of people might be simply stealing the code? Any way to prevent that (I guess not)?

  • Bounce rate is scary high. You need something to keep them on the page longer.

    And congrats on the sale!

  • My suggestion: put it on the webOS App Catalog. You'll just need to package it up and it's ready to go. Easy way to get more money.
