All About Freeware

People often pay for CD-ROMs containing free software like Linux or OpenOffice, because they lack high-speed internet connections or equipment necessary to download and install this software manually. A number of eBay sellers earn money by offering such CDs. A couple examples of recent sales: OpenOffice 2.4 for $2.40 + $2.04 S/H, Linux XP ‘09 and Ubuntu ‘09 for $7.48 total.

It won’t make you a lot of money, but it’s relatively easy for someone who can “burn” CDs. For earning money by selling free software to be possible, you will need a fast internet connection (or already-created CDs of the programs or operating systems you plan to sell), blank CD-R discs, and a computer with a CD-ROM “burner” drive. Always be sure that it is completely legal to distribute all of the software in question.
