Our Software Development Revenue & Profit Sharing Model

a. Licensing Fees
One of the primary ways we earn from software development is through licensing our software. Licensing allows other companies to use our software for their own purposes, either for a one-time fee or on a recurring basis.

Example: If we develop a customer relationship management (CRM) tool, we can license the software to businesses for a set fee. Depending on the complexity and usefulness of the software, we might charge anywhere from $5,000 to $50,000 per year for the license.

b. Subscription-Based Models
Many software applications follow a subscription-based revenue model. This model ensures consistent revenue over time, as users pay recurring fees to access the software or its premium features.

Example: A project management software might charge $20 per month per user. If the software gains 500 users, that could generate $10,000 in monthly revenue. The subscription model offers predictable and stable income, which is attractive to both developers and investors.

c. Custom Development and Consulting Fees
In addition to selling ready-made software, we also offer custom development services. This includes building tailored software solutions for businesses, organizations, or individuals, based on their specific needs. Consulting services, such as helping companies optimize their software stack or providing tech expertise, also contribute to our revenue.

Example: A business might require a custom inventory management solution. We can develop the software and charge a flat fee or hourly rate for our services. Custom software development projects can range from $10,000 to several hundred thousand dollars, depending on the project size.

d. Maintenance and Updates
Software requires ongoing maintenance to ensure it remains functional, secure, and up-to-date with the latest technology. We generate revenue by offering ongoing maintenance and support packages, which provide customers with updates, bug fixes, and assistance with any issues they encounter.

Example: A client may pay an annual maintenance fee of $5,000 to ensure that their software receives the latest updates and bug fixes. This can be an additional revenue stream that continues year after year.

e. Ad Revenue and Affiliate Marketing
In some cases, software applications can also generate revenue through advertisements or affiliate marketing. We integrate ads into the software or recommend products and services through affiliate links.

Example: A mobile app or software that offers free services may generate revenue by showing ads to users. If we develop an app with 100,000 monthly active users, ad revenue could range from $2,000 to $10,000 per month, depending on the app’s popularity and the types of ads displayed.

The Importance of Investors in Software Development

Investors play a key role in the success of any software development project. Their financial contributions allow us to fund the development, marketing, and operational costs that are essential for bringing software products to life.

a. Funding Development Costs
Developing high-quality software requires substantial investments. These costs include hiring skilled developers, designers, testers, project managers, and software architects. Investors fund these resources, which are necessary to ensure that the software meets industry standards and delivers value to users.

b. Supporting Marketing & Sales
Once the software is developed, we need to market it effectively to attract customers. This includes advertising, social media campaigns, search engine optimization (SEO), and other promotional efforts. Investor funding helps us budget for these marketing activities, ensuring that the software reaches the right audience and generates significant sales.

c. Ongoing Support & Improvements
After the launch, software needs to be updated and supported regularly. We use investor funds to continue making improvements, adding new features, and fixing any issues that arise. This ensures that the software remains competitive and valuable to users over time.

Profit Sharing for Investors in Software Development

Once the software is generating revenue, it’s time to share the profits with investors. The profit-sharing model is designed to ensure that investors receive a fair share of the income generated by their investments. Here’s how it works:

a. Revenue Share from Licensing Fees
As an investor, you will receive a percentage of the revenue generated from licensing agreements. This can be anywhere from 20% to 50% of the licensing fees, depending on the amount you invested in the software.

Example: If we license software for $100,000 and have a 40% profit-sharing agreement with investors, the investors would receive $40,000 from that deal.

b. Share of Subscription Revenue
Investors also receive a share of the revenue generated from subscription fees. This revenue is typically shared in the same proportion as the original investment.

Example: If we charge $20 per month per user for a subscription-based app and generate $50,000 in subscriptions, investors will receive a percentage of this amount, based on their share in the company. If an investor owns 25% of the business, they would receive $12,500.

c. Revenue Share from Custom Development & Consulting
For custom software development or consulting projects, investors receive a share of the revenue generated from these services. This can be a flat percentage (e.g., 30%) of the total project fee or hourly rate.

Example: If we complete a custom development project worth $200,000, the investors would receive $60,000 if their profit-sharing percentage is 30%.

d. Profit Share from Maintenance & Updates
Investors also benefit from the ongoing maintenance and support revenue. As we offer software updates and support packages to clients, the profits are shared with investors in a similar way as the other revenue streams.

Example: If we have $50,000 in annual maintenance fees from clients, and investors are entitled to 40% of the profits, they would receive $20,000.

e. Ad Revenue & Affiliate Marketing Share
If our software generates ad revenue or earns affiliate commissions, investors share in these earnings as well. Typically, this is 40-50% of the ad revenue or affiliate commissions.

Example: If ad revenue from a free software app totals $10,000 per month, investors would receive $4,000 to $5,000, depending on their share.

The $5 Confirmation Fee for Investors

To confirm their interest and commitment to the software development project, investors are required to pay a $5 confirmation fee. This fee ensures that only serious investors are involved and helps us better allocate resources to the most committed partners.

a. Commitment Verification
The $5 confirmation fee confirms that the investor is ready to proceed with their investment and share in the profits. This helps us identify and prioritize serious investors.

b. Access to Reports & Updates
Once the confirmation fee is paid, investors receive regular updates on the software’s performance, revenue, and any changes or improvements being made. This ensures transparency and helps build trust between the developers and investors.

c. Confirmation of Investment Participation
The confirmation fee also acts as a confirmation that the investor intends to follow through with their financial contribution. It helps streamline the investment process and reduces potential delays.
