Hello dear Community,
I’m an experienced Oracle APEX and PL/SQL developer with 7+ years of experience, but until now, I’ve only worked on projects for companies. I want to take the next step and build my own software product using APEX, targeting small businesses as customers. However, since this is my first time creating a product for sale, I’d love to get advice from those who have done it before.
Here are some key questions I have:
1. *Product Development:* What should I consider when building an APEX-based product for multiple clients?
2. *Hosting & Deployment:* Should I host the application myself, use Oracle Cloud, or offer on-premises installations?
3. *Licensing & Pricing:* How do I handle Oracle licensing when selling an APEX-based solution? What pricing models work best for small businesses?
4. *Marketing & Sales:* How do I attract customers and sell an APEX-based solution successfully?
5. *Support & Maintenance:* What’s the best approach for handling updates, bug fixes, and customer support?
If anyone has experience selling APEX applications, I’d really appreciate your insights! Thanks in advance.
