Hey guys,

I was wondering if there was any other guys here like me, who run their own 1-man software companies full-time or on the side. I'm not talking about amateur projects, I'm talking about real "professional-looking" software/shareware that you make money from.

Over the past year I developed a software product and started my own small company, including a website for taking on-line orders and everything. This forum has been a great help to me, since when I started developing my program I had only rudimentary VB skills. Business is still very slow for me, as I am still working out the kinks in my software, and can't afford any real advertising, but I am learning a lot .

If there are others of you out there, I thought we might pool some of our resources and knowledge to our advantage, i.e. help beta-test each others' software, share marketing/business advice, motivate each other, critique each others products/websites, share programming ideas, etc. I was thinking of creating some kind of regular discussion (dare I say "support"?) group where we can chew the fat and help each other become software millionaires .

I'm especially looking for people, like me, who are serious about their ventures, looking to be a contender, and are professionals. You should also be willing to help each other out w/constructive comments & advice.

If anyone is interested, drop a post onto this thread w/ a little bio of yourself and let me know what you think of this idea!
