It's hard to make your program known, there are so many excellent programs on the internet.
Personally, I'm having trouble missing my ad for my game!

Commercial is closed source. In this case, you can take any existing program, for example Photoshop, as an example. The language will not limit you to write a program of any complexity, the problem will be only in you.

I don't like to reveal my app (I'm shy), and I do have a day job but also make some nice money with my PureBasic app. Below are my sales from 15 May 2024 to today (yes, I got one this morning).
For some reason all of June and most of July was dead (no sales); maybe due to end of financial year? But I also uploaded some videos on my website about how to use my app recently and sales have started being regular again from 29 July 2024. I wonder now if the videos were the key? Who knows.
I offer two pricing tiers: $12 for 12 months, or $35 for life. I got 4 x $12 payments recently, which makes me think if I hadn't offered that then maybe those would've been lost sales. Any sale is a good sale!
I don't advertise with paid services; I usually just post (anonymously) on Reddit about my app from time to time, and it seems to work. (I ask my customers where they heard about my app and 99% of the time they say "Reddit").
So yes, you can make money with PureBasic if your app is good enough for people to pay for. I hope this inspires you!

Nice your game ! I have seen your stuff before but if you want more sale you need to make more for social networks to attract your sales, have you done it ?
Good luck !

Hi BarryG,
Thank you so much for your encouraging words.
I’m an older man in a poor country, and I really need to make some money through programming.
If you or anyone else could offer some basic steps on how to publish (where to find affordable hosting) and how to handle false virus alarms (even though there are already some tips on the forum), we would be incredibly grateful!
Thanks a lot!

I use the free version of
https://x10hosting.com which was recommended by someone on these forums. I haven't paid for hosting for ages now.
To avoid a lot of anti-virus false-positives I only use PureBasic v6.10 (64-bit) at the moment, as earlier versions were getting flagged a lot. I've posted about that before. I also UPX my exes and remove the "UPX" identifiers to stop the AVs detecting that UPX was used (it tricks them). Search my posts.
I forgot to mention: even though I post on Reddit, I also have my app listed on MajorGeeks and Softpedia. They push it to the top of their front page whenever I do an update (as they do for all apps by all developers). I usually get some paying customers soon after they do that.

Live long and prosper

BarryG, how do you handle the license? License key + call home?
