The Dos and Don'ts of Starting with Dummies
Whether you're
distributing software as an individual or a company, there are certain rules
and regulations to follow. The reason is simple: if you break the law, even
accidentally, it can cost you thousands of dollars in fines and even jail time.
This guide on distributing software will help you understand the ins and outs
of your legal obligations so that you stay out of trouble while making money
with your product or service. With this knowledge in hand, you'll be able to
protect yourself legally and make smart business decisions that put money in
your pocket rather than get taken away by the government!
Do create content with a unique value proposition

help you get started with distributing software for the first time, whether
you're selling to customers or selling to other businesses. We'll cover:

your Business as a Distributor

Management
Do produce high-quality content
There are many
things you can do to produce high-quality content. If you're looking for
inspiration, first look at the competition. Pay attention to what they are
doing well, but also study what they don't do so well. This will give you an
idea of your strengths and weaknesses as a writer that may not be apparent
otherwise.
Next, explore
the topic more deeply than is necessary for the post in order to fully understand
it. The more in-depth your knowledge is on a topic, the more knowledge you'll
be able to share with readers--and the easier it will be to write about it!
Finally, take time to plan out your posts before sitting down at the computer.
Do find something that you enjoy
If you love what
you do, it doesn't feel like work. Before making a decision about your first
business venture, take some time to figure out what you enjoy doing. If you
already know what your interests are, think about how they can be translated
into a business idea. You're likely good at something that other people need
help with or want to learn more about! Your existing skills may translate well
into starting a software distribution company, for example. Find a way to
provide assistance in the form of information in order to share your knowledge.
Think about what steps someone would have to take before getting started with
the topic you are interested in - in this case: distributing software - and
make sure the material is easy-to-read.
Do consider your audience
Don't assume
your readers are computer savvy. Even if you're just writing a quick tutorial
for friends, make sure you explain the most basic functions.
Don't overwhelm
people with too much information. Know what your audience needs to know in order
to understand the basics.
Do include
screenshots or graphics where appropriate to help illustrate concepts. For
example, if you're teaching people how to use a program, include screenshots
from that program so readers can see it in action.
Do include links
to more detailed resources for those who want more information about a
particular topic, like links to tutorials or other blog posts that cover the
topic in detail.

Do use how to articles to help people understand concepts they may never have encountered before
You may have
heard the phrase for dummies before. The name comes from the 1990s book series
that tried to break down difficult concepts in easy-to-understand language.
These books are often used as a starting point for people learning about subjects
they're unfamiliar with, or who are just starting out on their own in a new
field.
That's why this
guide is called The Dos and Don'ts of Starting With Dummies: A Guide to
Distributing Software. We'll cover everything you need to know about getting
started, from choosing a name for your business, to how much it will cost, what
kind of software you need, and how you can get your product into various online
marketplaces.
