I would make a download link that you can send.. If you want it more secure than I would give it an key to unlock it or even a log in name and password to access the download page.. I don't know that is what I think..

My Idea of screen savers on demand:

I demand a screen saver, you supply it free of charge.


//Edit: erm incase you are curious I don't use screensavers too much.

personally, I'll never pay for a screensaver. And why have one since I'm
never gonna look at it. If I am, it's because I'm not working, and if I'm
not working, I'm certainly not sitting at my pc for nothing. ;)

good luck with it cowkiller. :D

That is true, I am sure there are people out there willing to pay for cool screen savers. You should just realize that the market is saturated with free screensavers and most people are cheap and would go for those (the free ones). Think about it, have you ever purchased a screensaver? or have you downloaded free ones? I would think most people would be interested in spending their money on something that they could use, instead of what is on their screen when they are not around. Anyway there are people who would still buy them, expecially if your screensaver is extremely unique and attractive for someone to buy. In my personal case, I would never buy a screensaver, but that is just me.

I have to echo the above.

I would never "buy" a screensaver. What am I going to see, anyway? I'm not even there...

Maybe Cowkiller...but just a suggestion....I think the gist of the above replies are screensavers aren't going to be your "cash cow" (parden the pun)
