How to Generate Software Ideas to Develop
There is a three step process to follow when trying to generate simple idea for a plugin or
software. I call this 3-step process I.V.D
Ideate
Validate
Develop
In the Ideation stage, there are a couple of ways to get hot selling software ideas to develop:
IDEATE
1. Look around; ask yourself what task or challenges are you struggling with in your
business? Find a way to automate that task by building software for it. Most likely you
arent the only one struggling with that challenge. Sometimes, people develop software
to help them grow or scale their businesses at the end of the day end up selling it to
other similar businesses thereby making more money from it.
So think of tasks that are painful and time-consuming to perform in any niche or
business then automate the process with software to help save time and be more
productive which equals more money for the business. It could be daily task that you,
your friends, relatives or family members perform at work or in their businesses. You
can brainstorm with them to come up with a solution.
2. Theres nothing new under the sun. Look at other software and combine multiple pieces
together and tweak them. Do not copy exactly what someone else has built before.
Go to Wp Repository https://wordpress.org/plugins/ You see tons and tons of
wordpress plugin ideas. You can combine one or two together and tweak them
to make your software unique.
Go to WarriorPlus https://warriorplus.com
Go to Hotscripts - Hot Scripts - The net's largest PHP, CGI, Perl, JavaScript and ASP script collection and resource web portal.
Then these sites below gives us real guide on what niches you can narrow down or zoom into. If
you build software around these niches, you can never go wrong.

VALIDATE
We are now at the stage of validating our software idea that we just generated. The purpose of this process is to be sure there are people willing to pay or buy our software. To determine this, Google will be very handy here.
Go to Google type in the main function or keyword of your software to see if there are similar or exact software. Here competition is a good sign that youre on the right track. This will mean that theyre happy customers or users of that similar or exact software. Do not try to reinvent the wheel. There can be existing software already selling that can be very complicated to use, Can you make it easier to use?, can you simplify it?, can you add another feature?, Can you remove any unnecessary feature?, What is hard to use about it?, What complaints do customers have about it? Any feature can be improved upon. With this you have your own unique features for your software, validated your idea and youre very sure to be on the right path. Take this step very seriously its crucial to your success. Great ideas come from a cross of two or more existing ideas, features or programs, or the simplification of an existing system.
DEVELOP
Now your idea goes into development stage which youll learn about in module four. But before we do that lets quickly take a look at what you can build. The different types of software we can build.
If am wrong please correct me and kindly share how you too generate good software ideas.
