DIGITALCANDLE’S LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD DEVELOPERS

Turn Your Code Into Cash

(San Diego, Calif.) – January 30, 2001 – Got a knack for writing software?
DigitalCandle, the foremost purveyor of online software, is looking for a
few good developers to add to its collection of innovative shareware
applications available at www.digitalcandle.com. Developers that sign up
with DigitalCandle now through April 2, 2001 will receive all of the
benefits of DigitalCandle’s Payment Processing and Product Marketing
services for only 10% of gross sales with a $2 minimum for the first three
months.

Whether developing software for a hobby or wanting to increases one’s cash
flow, opportunities exist to profit from innovative shareware products.
However, knowing how to write code does not guarantee knowing where or how
to market, distribute or sell the resulting product – not to mention how
difficult and time-consuming the process can be. Enter DigitalCandle with a
solution to meet the needs of independent software developers.

“DigitalCandle is a company created by shareware developers for shareware
developers. We understand what developers need to capitalize on their own
products. We know the industry, and are aware of the pitfalls and traps
that await developers,” said Casey Vieceli, president and Chief Executive
Officer of DigitalCandle, Inc. “DigitalCandle provides benefits that
essentially give developers a ‘leg-up’ to succeed in the competitive
software market.”

DigitalCandle offers an effective, competitive approach towards generating
sales and increased revenue from independently developed software products.
In exchange for services, DigitalCandle receives a percentage of generated
product sales, but not until current monthly sales have been exceeded.

The benefits of partnering with DigitalCandle include:
* Fully-functional and secure online credit card processing
* Intensely competitive rates – 15% with a $2 minimum – with a multitude of
credit cards types accepted. As added incentive to join, sign on by April
2, 2001 and DigitalCandle will offer 10% with a $2 minimum for the first
three months!
* Mail, fax, telephone order processing, and purchase orders
* Real time sales reporting
* Unique product marketing – a customizable web page hosted and promoted by
DigitalCandle – that allows developers to showcase products the way they
want the world to see them

Most importantly, when developers sign up with DigitalCandle they won’t be
hit with hidden fees:
* No set up fees
* No additional fees for orders via mail, fax, email or purchase orders
* No charge for direct deposit into U.S. bank accounts
* No charge for delivery via downloads from digitalcandle.com
* No charge for sales resulting from DigitalCandle’s affiliated web site
partners
