COMPUTER PROGRAMMING

As the economic recession gets tougher and companies continue to downsize and replace human resources with computers and machines, there are some categories of people who remain relevant and while other people are losing their jobs, these categories of people continue to be in high demand by employers and consumers.

One of the few people that fall in this category are the computer engineers and software developers. If you are looking to invest in a kind of business that is recession proof and can be guaranteed to remain relevant even in the next ten to fifteen years, then you should consider setting up your own software company.

Software companies are responsible for creating and distributing computer software which are used to perform several tasks on a computer system. Computer software could be used for learning new skills and subjects, calculating and performing accounting tasks, entertainment, instructions and several other tasks.

Software companies make their money through various means. Some companies charge licensing fees for the use of their software, others charge for subscriptions while some others sell their software in the open market for a fixed rate. There are some other companies that allow you to use their products for free but would make money from advertisement or training. Software companies now have great marketing opportunity in the mobile market. They can make money from developing mobile applications and games. A lot of people who are very talented in the information technology industry and have the ability to develop software and mobile applications often take this opportunity for granted. Rather than set up their own software company, many prefer to look for jobs and work under some already established software companies. This may be because a lot of people think setting up a software company is a very cumbersome process that would cost you a couple of millions. This is not usually the case and this is why I have decided to show you just how easy it is to set up your own software development company in few steps.
