How To Get Your Program Professionally Marketed?

one-man orchestra writes "I'm the sole programmer of a small, multi-platform, commercial audio program (a spectrogram editor). After over 6 months on the market, I realized that the program would never just sell itself, and that I need some real marketing done for it. Being a one-man orchestra is becoming increasingly difficult; I only can devote so much time to marketing, my skills in that department are lacking, and I'd much rather spend more time coding. Despite my lackluster part-time marketing effort, I still manage to make a modest living out of the sales. My logical assumption is that with someone competent taking care of that part, revenue could greatly scale up. But what's the right way to go about doing this? What type of people/company do I need to contact? What to expect? What to look out for?"

    I also question anyone's need for a Spectrogram editor. Instead of needing audio editing tools, you could just, surprise, produce decent audio in the first place. If you used a Kurzweil K-250, it will produce sounds that are *exactly* the same as real instruments, with *no perceptible difference* to anyone. Marvel at my l33t ski11z: http://www.kurzweilai.net/articles/art0148.html?m=9 Anyway, you're a punk ass little bitch anyway for not accepting the reality. Why don't you calm down, take a few chill pills, some alkaline water. and about 90 other essential supplements, and in 30-40 years you will enter the singularity. Spectrogram editors for audio will be silly at that point, the machines will edit their spectrograms without help from us!
