| How much is your expertise worth? |

On-site Custom Software is recruiting individuals with extensive product knowledge in a wide range of industries.
If your industry has 1,000 or more retailers or distributors and a product base of as little as 100 products, your data could be very valuable.
We require accurate, comprehensive data and copyright free images to compile professional product catalogs. In some cases we may buy
your data outright if it meets our selection criteria. Better yet, we'll partner with you and assist you in developing your catalog.
In this case, we'll either develop an industry-specific version of Catalog Creator or an expansion module using your data. |

| How do I get started? |
| |
| You don't need to purchase anything. You don't even need to use Catalog Creator. Simply send us your data in a spreadsheet or database file.
We'll evaluate your data and help you determine its market potential. You can start by entering your industry's SIC code in a business counter
site such as MelissaData.com If we believe your data has a reasonable market potential
we'll assist you with all aspects of development. We can help you with image preparation and layout, or complete these tasks for you. We can even
take the pictures for you if you provide us with the products but we recommend that you prepare all the images and data yourself. This will allow you
to retain all copyrights and control over the finished product. |
| |
| How do I sell my data? |
| |
| You can sell your data on-line from our website or yours but first you'll need to show your customers what they are buying.
We'll show you how to create a secure PDF document that can be posted on-line. This PDF will let potential customers review the data without
allowing them to copy it, print it or use the images without your permission. Many customers will find your data on this site the same way you
found us, probably through a web search. We'll also consider joint advertising in trade publications and trade shows. If you compile your own
data then you are free to sell it for whatever price you choose with no royalties or other fees. We're only interested in selling Catalog
Creator, which will be required to use your data. |

| How much is my data worth? |
| |
Ask yourself this question: How much would I have been willing to pay if I had come to this site and found a complete product catalog,
complete with all pictures and relevant data? We suggest a minimum of $100. This could be considerably higher depending upon the number of
images and size of the market. For example, if your data includes 1,000 images, this could represent 100 hours of labor, or more. How much
would you be willing to pay for those 100 hours? Your data could easily be worth thousands of dollars.
Here's a case study of our (currently) most
successful data module:
The fence industry has 13,000 retailers across North America. We compiled an industry-specific version, comprising
nearly 200 images and relevant data for this market. As most of the products have little variation in color, being steel or aluminum, we spent nearly 60
hours on enhancing the photos. At a single trade show, we sold 30 copies of the software for $395 each. Expenses for the trade show,
approximately $3,000, were shared equally between On-site Custom Software and the developer of the data module, a fence-industry
professional. This resulted in profits of nearly $9,000 in a single day, also shared equally. |
