Shareware doesn't work, unless you have an angle (i.e. sell documentation or
hints, or a key to uncripple or extend the program).  I've distributed
Xasteroids for two years now, and asked people who like the game to send me $5.
I've received a great many email letters of appreciation, but only one person
has sent me $5.

I like the letters of appreciation a lot, but I like money even more.
