I have developed several softwares, but I have not sold any of them. Even though we offer a 30% commission, no one wants to be my agent. What should I do now? Can anyone help me think of a solution?

You should promote your software more widely, perhaps more people will know and be interested in it
 
If your software has audience try SEM with targetted audience.

Reach to the group who need your software solution.

Outreach to the businesses who might need your software.
 
either your software are shit / others are selling them at lower rates under cutting you by a margin / no one knows you (reputation)

What is your software? Do you have high competition?
 
You can utilize the power of affiliate marketing to sell or run paid advertising to sell.

1. Paid adverts : You can run paid adverts directly on Facebook, Google and YouTube to sell your software (you can start with a decent budget of $20/day).

2. Affiliate marketing : You can list your software on Affiliate marketing platforms that has affiliates already so that affiliates can sign up to help you promote for 50% commission.
 
Let's start from the beginning.
1. What does your software do?
2. How much does it cost to the end user? Difference between plans?
3. Do you have direct competitors? How is your software different than theirs in features and pricing?
Basically this…


The solution most likely is paid advertising but it depends what your software actually does. If it is useless, ads won’t work.

What affiliate marketing platforms are there? Can you recommend them?
 
Turn it into a module in your big program and call it a day. You can turn it into a microservice, use those functions / refactor them to something else. I had plenty of ideas and ideas are like fruits. You need certain fruits, but then you need to harvest and you know which ones are the best for you and your growing conditions. You cannot just execute ideas / code projects and expect demand to be there in the market. Do something there's demand for.
 
sounds like you need better ways of explaining what your software does, as 16 posts into this thread and you still havent given even 1 task that your software can do. you need to get a decent copywriter to come up with some copy to big up your software, fully explain what it can do in an engaging way. this should also branch out into bite size explainer videos so that people can quickly see what it can do

I can’t post links here because the administrator will think I’m advertising. Now I’m confused and have no source of income. What should I do?
 
If people aren't buying your software, there are likely 3 reasons:

1. They don't know about it.
2. There are better/cheaper options out there.
3. There is no need for it.

Don't build software just for the sake of it. Look at what people are trying to achieve and what solution you can provide.
