I'm talking about starting your own and selling it. You don't even need to have a really great idea, just find something and make it better.
A friend of mine created a product search app for phones. Cost him a few thousand in development and just sold it this summer for six figures.
I started a SaaS extension of my company back earlier this year. Took a bit to get the product ready for market, but basically sells itself, along with a healthy recurring revenue stream.
Starting a business doesn't mean selling someone else's products.
I've got a meeting today at 2pm to finalize the investment into a shopping/service mobile app. I don't program, but I know who can, even more so, I know how to make things people want, and market to them  |
Start selling someone else?s software just to see "how easy is to sell software" - how hard can that be to understand? Or would you prefer to spend months on building a software just to find out that you have no way to market it properly.
Just like - before you launch your own affiliate program, how about you become an affiliate and learn the business. Does that make sense, yes, no, maybe?
Glad you have the skills to market your software since this is the most difficult part; you can find out what people want with some very basic (or extensive if you have the money) research, there's surely no shortage of developers, but selling your product is the hardest part. And behind every "my friend sold his app for $10 million bucks" or "my cousin started this Facebook thing and became a billionaire" story, there are thousands and thousands of software products that don't sell for shit. Yet, somehow people tend to overlook that.
