SoftwareCEO Frequently Asked Questions (Updated 11/17/2010)

What is SoftwareCEO?

SoftwareCEO.com is the largest online community for software CEOs and executives.  We pride ourselves in specializing in practical, applied, to-the-point advice.  No B.S., of course.  If you need answers about your software business, or wish to share your own expertise, you've come to the right place.

Why should I sign up for SoftwareCEO?

Simple - signing up as a regular member is free and gives you full access to our online forums, blogs, and selected articles.  From time to time, we may offer "special" access to certain content items reserved only for paying members.  You will also be able to sign up for our regular newsletter, which wraps up the hottest content on the community and delivers it right to your inbox.

What are the benefits of becoming a paying member?

In addition to the benefits of free membership, you'll get full access to our years of editorial archives, which house invaluable tips and tricks from real software professionals, exclusive interviews with successful software CEOs, and more.

You will also get unlimited access to our paid downloads area, in which you can acquire anything from legal documents, spreadsheets, audio podcasts, and more.

No to be a tease, but we're constantly in the process of brainstorming new ideas for SoftwareCEO, and are always discussing additional benefits for paid members.

I'm not a software CEO, but I work for a software company. Is this site right for me?

Of course - even if you're not in the software business, our community is packed with real-world business advice that you may be able to use.  

We are focused primarily on software CEOs and the software industry, however, so you will find the information here is most relevant to those in that industry.

I have a question I'd like to ask. Where and how do I do that?

It's easy!  We have full-featured online forums that are free to use.  First, you need to register for the community, then head to our main forums page.

You'll see several forum categories there.  Select your area of interest, and then you can either browse existing threads, check out the most recent threads, or post one of your own.

Do you have blogs?

Yes, we do.  You can access them via the tab in the navigation bar or via the main blogs page. 

We're proud to have a number of experienced site moderators and guest bloggers who contribute their knowledge and expertise to their blogs.  Make sure to read and comment on their posts!
