I'm looking for advice for monitizing free software... I'm a pretty good coder, and I've got a few ideas for small/giveaway programs that I think could do pretty well.
Is there any money to be made bundling other software (say, a browser toolbar, just to pick a random possibility) with it? If so, how does one get into that market? What companies are interested in having their software bundled, and is there anywhere I can go to find out who those companies are? What's the pay like? Are there any clearinghouses for this sort of thing (like CJ or Azoogle, but for bundled software)?
Thanks!
