I get by with a little help from my friends.

I've created a solution that has started to sell. What should I do? Do I need to have it copyrighted, a solid contract, both or something else? What should I expect to pay? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Mark

"I've created a solution that has started to sell. What should I do?"

Avoid shares, buy real estate. Get a good accountant. <grin>

Decide what your "saleable commodity" is: the solution you've made; or your ability to create other solutions and solve other problems.

I fit into the latter category.

You may want to contact a lawer (about $250.00 per hour), but first I'd go to www.nolopress.com and take advantage of the free information available there and the self-help books. If nothing else, it will make you a smarter buyer of legal services.

1. Copyright your solution.

2. Trademark any logos, proper names (like the title of the solution), etc.

3. Assuming you're distributing this as a bound solution, you must include a license agreement (see the Developer Kit's manual for details).

4. Sell as many copies as you can -- and let the money roll in!!!

Thank you for the responses. I've purchased a book and am reviewing the internet info. mb
