Ensure that you’re either increasing someone’s revenue or decreasing their costs. In both cases, it should be possible to somehow convince people to pay you. How exactly is a bit of an art and requires some creativity but should be possible. For example if a company earns or saves 100k dollars per year from your software, it should not take much convincing to negotiate them giving you 1k-5k.

If companies and people already use it heavily it provides value.
