Erik Sink coined the term “micro-ISV” back in September of 2004 when he decided to write about “Exploring Micro-ISVs” and his experiment with a shareware game called “Winnable Solitaire”.
Erik inspired tons of entrepreneurs to launch small businesses to pursue their dreams of success as micro-ISVs (including me). His article was so popular that the term micro-ISV can be found everywhere.
Well, Erik Sink has finally retired his micro-ISV project and sold his game.
While this is interesting, it’s not why I’m posting this. This announcement provided me a reminder and a pointer to the great information Erik Sink has shared and linked to during his experiment:
- Exploring micro-ISVs
- 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing
- Marketing For Geeks
- Association of Shareware Professionals
- Steve Pavlina on Shareware Development
All these links are well worth reading. If you already have, they are probably worth reading again.
