All About Freeware

Some programmers may wonder why they would want to create free software. Here are some potential reasons:

1. Freeware can help bring more traffic to the web site where it is available for download.

2. The program may include an advertisement for a product or service that isn’t free.

3. A freeware application might be of practical use to the individual or company which created it.

4. The programmer can tell a potential employer about a popular free software product he or she produced.

5. In the process to create programs of any type, the author is likely to learn more about programming.

Other possible reasons to create freeware include receiving donations, promoting the use of a specific operating system, or improving recognition of a brand.
