Instead of trying to sell someone a piece of software you make him a "distributer" and sell him a sample kit of your software. You set it up so that if he sells any copies then both you and he will each get a percent of the sell. In addition if he recruits any distributers then everything that they sell will pass through both of you. This could be the opportunity of a lifetime for someone. You only have to sell it to two of your friends and if they go out and sell to two more of their friends then it can quickly pyramid you to higher Tax brackets. Its simply a matter of making it in your customers best interest to want to see your software in everyones computer. I don't see why someone hasn't thought of this before.
