Selling Powershell Scripts on The Exchange
If you’re a PowerShell scripts builder, you know the power they provide for systems administration and automation. However, having skilled PowerShell developers on hand isn’t always an option for every organization. For them a reliable source is often their go-to option. You can be that go-to option.
If you have a universal tool or a tool that you can make universal, packaging it up and publishing it to the marketplace is quick and easy. Follow these easy steps to success.
- Register as a Vendor on The Exchange – It’s quick and easy. Once it’s done you’ll be all set to start publishing your PowerShell scripts and earning on every sale.
- Package your Script – We recommend including clear instructions on using your tool and how your users can ask questions or request support if they need it. This can be a separate “Read Me” document that you bundle in a zip file for download or you can include them in the tool itself. Either way, make sure your customers have the information they need to use your script right away.
- Create a Product – Use the product design screen to name and describe your product. Tell potential users what benefits they can expect from your PowerShell scripts in terms that will appeal to them. Explain how their lives will be easier when they use what you have built. Don’t just list the features.
- Include a Picture – Use a service like Canva.com to create a quality image to use with your product. This will help draw attention to it and get new customers.
- Price to sell & profit – take a look at what similar scripts are selling for in the market. Make sure your price is competitive but don’t be afraid to value it so that there is profit in each sale for you. The Exchange takes a 10% transaction fee on each sale to cover our operational and payment processing expenses. The rest is paid to you.
- Tell People about it – Let your connections know that you’ve got PowerShell Scripts for sale. You never know who you know that might be looking for just what you’ve created or knows someone else that is. Share the link to your product on Social Media or in an email or tell people about it in person. Get word of mouth working for you!
That’s all you need to get started. I can’t wait to see what you have to offer!
