How do you sell?

That's one of the annoying (and liberating) things about desktops, they don't have an app-store, so you have to run your own store (without reviews) and people have to trust that you're not going to sell them a virus.

Good SEO, reputation, big market, staying alive long enough that word of mouth starts to mean something.
Steam sells non-game application software now. Mostly content creation stuff so far AFAICT; I don't know how strict their acceptance guidelines are.
There is the Windows 10 Store now. I'm not sure how many people use it and what the niche that is most popular for customers.
