Let’s do something interesting (AwesomeCopy)
I happened to receive a code for a free license of AwesomeCopy to do with what I please. I fully intend to give it away to a lucky person. (I have 2 licenses and no need for a third)
I know not everyone can afford to buy useful software, even at reasonable (or cheap in AwesomeCopy’s case. I would pay more for it than I have) cost. Life sometimes gets in the way of getting things we need sometimes. This happened a little while ago with a college student who had built a workflow around using Droppy. When it went to being paid for all features (even at a very modest price) it was out of his reach. I messaged the young man, we talked a bit, and I bought a license for him.
I want to do the same kind of thing here. I am a software engineer by trade. For more than 35 years. It’s always been difficult for me to find that sweet spot of pricing that makes it accessible to as many people as possible, yet covers my costs, time, and effort. Hearing stories of people who just cannot buy a license as much as they would want to always pains me.
So, with that out of the way, here’s the deal.
I have a code for one (and only one) free license to AwesomeCopy. I’m not going to just toss it out to people who beg for one. I want to make a difference in someone’s life, and help promote AwesomeCopy in the process. (Yes, it’s a small thing, but even small things can make big impacts)
Type up why you need AwesomeCopy and what barriers are preventing you from being able to purchase it yourself.
OR
Type up someone else’s story (you don’t have to name them) that you feel deserves a free copy.
Finally, as one last requirement, promise to spread the word about AwesomeCopy. Be an evangelist for the tool.
… no I’m not affiliated with Evan. A situation came up where he was kind enough to give me this code for a free license, and I want to repay his efforts on this awesome utility.
