Most profitable software you bought?

[loreen]

What is the most profitable software / script you bought?

I'd go with Autoblogger Pro, Advanced Submitter.
And Photoshop

[SGS]

Over the years? Premier Pro.

[candyflip]

Final Cut Pro

[Markul]

MS Office

[CurrentlySober]

I only steal software, so I cant HONESTLY reply...

[edgeprod]

Thanks! I wrote one of those, LOL!

I'll be coming out with two new tools very soon that you can add to that list. I'll give you a preview soon.

[czarina]

elevatedx

[czarina]

ah! And photoshop

[loreen]

I know. Believe it or not, I saw you signing off on ICQ and thought of this thread

Too funny! Now if only I had been paid for it. I didn't make a cent off of it.

[The Dawg]

1. Premiere Pro
2. Jmbsoft's TGPx server edition.

[Killswitch]

Mac OS X. Everything else I built myself.

[Sly]

I don't think I can give credit to any one piece of software. The profit came from combining the good features of various software packages and putting it to work. In the big picture, almost any of the individual pieces of software that I use could be replaced by another similar piece of software without too much trouble.

Linux = Free

Probably TubeAce. For a $200 piece of software I've built many tubes and have profited from them. I give Chris shit by email for some of the updates, but I should remember that it's a low price for an item I can use as much as I want.

Sorry Chris...great product

[epitome]

NATS because you can really get down deep into traffic patterns and sources.

Everything else I use day-to-day that makes life amazing is all custom.

Oh Outlook for keeping me sane.

Basecamp for tracking projects.

Soon Kayako for bringing all support under one roof.

[ImLarge]

vbulletin made two five figure sales

[Ross]

Advanced Submitter by a long long looooooong way! I remember when it first came out, before it we did it all by hand and it was painful. Having AS allowed us to submit to 3x the sites in 1/3 the time.

[CYF]

wordpress
a few custom scripts i paid to have made
OS X
FreeBSD
apache/mysql/php

[shake]

Custom scripts built by coders on elance etc

[Vapid - BANNED FOR LIFE]

I only steal software, so I cant HONESTLY reply...

Nobody quotes this brilliance?

[trevesty]

Purchased? Office or any of the automation tools I've got.

Overall? Wordpress - used it for as long as I can remember.

[timlover]

I'd have to say Stats Remote. It's been such a productive tool, that if you had to add up all the time thats been freed up using it and what I've done with that extra time in productivity.....it probably ranks at the top....even above Photoshop...

[AdultEUhost]

Tools i know our customer used; Chameleon Submitter, AHL (Anti Hotlinking)
Tools i know our customer use; StatsRemote, NATS, Carma, ElevatedX, Mechbunny, AVS

[Lace]

Custom coded stuff

[AJHall]

I would hope our customers would say Elevated X

For me it's definitely Photoshop and our support ticketing software.

[xXXtesy10]

Mechbunny
Vbulletin

[EddyTheDog]

As far as stuff I paid for I will have to give a group prize to Adobe.

WordPress if I can include free stuff - by far....

Linux of course is the unsung hero in this thread - Most of us rely on it in one way or another.

[johnnyloadproductions]

visual studio

You must do a lot of mainstream work.

[k0nr4d]

Kayako is certainly in that list yes

I don't know if Kayako has turned us a profit, but it's helped organize stuff for sure at the very least.

[DTK]

Custom coded stuff

+1. Aside from that? CLAD.

[tical]

I write a lot of automation tools for my affiliate marketing endeavors

[Mr Pheer]

Yahoo & MSN chat spammer, in 1999.

Cost me $2k, made me 7 figures.

[Mr Pheer]

Oh I forgot to mention, I bought that chat spammer from Pimpdog.

[Mr Pheer]

Or maybe it was in 2000, fuck I cant remember exactly. It was a lot of dollars ago. I mean years ago.

[CYF]

You paid for "Free"BSD?

Sure didn't, but it's one of the few opensource projects I've donated to

[ajrocks]

Excel by far.
