*****************************************************************************

	Normally, I am not interested in knowing people's salaries, but I am
thinking about breaking into the games programming market. I have
already decided that if I make the attempt, I am not going through a
publisher. Instead, I have been aggressively researching how to market
products via website (including online buying through internet
commerce), and other related (non-spamming) means of internet shareware
advertising and promotion. I came up with some encouraging findings. But
I admit, it is clear that it would be a lot of hard work, albeit
potentially worthwhile. I have also been researching statistics and
reports on the most effective ways to encourage shareware users to
register and buy, and what things actually keep users from registering. 

	I was wondering if there are some shareware games developers, perhaps
with there own business, that would be willing to tell me and others
what kind of a salary one can expect if they take this approach.
Especially if they commit to it, and work hard.

	Also, I would like to see what a knowledgable person in this field
would estimate a hard-worker's chances out of 10 or 100, would be of
striking it big.
