Is it just that "time of year" or are other factors at work here?. I have a successful business that has done well for over 6 years. I just released and heavilly promoted 40 different scripts - and yet not one single sale. This is also true for my other 14 products. Noone is buying anything. It started going downhill during the early part of 2001 but lately, business has just been horrible. This is so perplexing that I'm about ready to pull my hair out by the roots. Would'nt you think that when you come out with 40 different scripts (all of which were much better than the few I was making good money from and then getting them listed on over 100 different software/script sites, I'd make at least one sale?.

Why does life always seem to go in just the complete OPPOSITE direction you expect it to?. Anyone else's sales slumping?

Thank's

maybe you're not reaching your target audience, or perhaps the market it saturated. what type of scripts?

yeah, script saturation is a problem, do you give more features and support for your scripts then others?...
because I have actually seen an increase in sales this time of year.

What are your prices like? People are unwilling to pay lots when theres loads of free open source projects out there.

It may be how you are advertising.. I know if Need a script I usually will got to hotscripts.com or scripts.com and do a search. You may want to consider adding your scripts there if you are not already doing so..

Also what are the focus of your scripts? Maybe new technology or functions are available now and your scripts are not needed anymore?

Hope that helps.
