Comment Start company, easy. Making money, hmmmmm (Score 1) 860
A few friends and I started a software company selling games for the Pocket PC. We don't do this full time, by any means. We distribute through Handango.com. It saves some headaches but it's to make your product noticed.
A main thing to consider is that you need to make things that aren't out there. We just made an ogg player, then found out someone is giving on away for free. And coming up with an original idea is difficult, if you've thought of it, chances are someone else has as well.
It is hard work, but you're more motivated if its YOUR company. There's something about that control aspect that really drives you. I myself got to the point where I cringe when I think about interviewing with an HR drone, but legal forms no longer scare me.
Anyway, we're giving away a free ogg player. Check us out at www.swordandspiritsoftware.com
