FAQ
You have questions, we have answers.
 
 
Do I have to provide support to all those thousands of new customers?
Up to you! In general we ask that the product you’re giving away be as similar as possible to the paid version, but we think that support is an allowable exception.
Who handles code delivery?
We do! All we need from you are a list of license codes (5,000 to start, then more as necessary). We take care of the nitty gritty details and handle setup. We even host the installer on our servers for you.
Which version should I give away?
That depends on your goals. If you’re looking for a bit of revenue, we’d definitely recommend giving away the lowest price point version while upselling the better version. However, if you want to maximize Facebook likes and emails, ‘better’ versions = better results!
What if my software is subscription based?
Great! In some ways this is even easier. We’ll give away a bundle consisting of ­6–12 months, and offer a discounted upsell for a bundle with even more months.
Wait a second, what’s in it for you?
Easy, the same as you :) A customer needs to like both your Facebook fan page and the BDJ Facebook fan page in order to get the deal, and by downloading the deal, the customer gives us both permission to email. The same goes for the upsells ­> we split the profits 50/50. It’s all a shared endeavor.
Are these ‘good’ email addresses?
Yes, we checked with our lawyers to ensure that the system complies with CANSPAM regulations. The email addresses are all double opt­-in, and we do our best to filter out junk/disposable email addresses (several hundred domains in the filter and counting) from the get­go.
