Hey guys,

just posting to do some research for a project I'm working on.

I'm creating a set of wordpress plugins to make the internet marketers life easier. let's say I have a blank canvas - what features or types of plugin would you like to see?

Cheers,
Martin

    WPSyndicator is one I wouldn't do without - it is a paid one though.

    Others I use are:

    Those are some vital plugins alright but what I'm researching is, what features would you like to see in a plugin that you currently can't get?

    Are there a few plugins that you'd like to combine into 1, for example?

    Oh I see - no I can't really think of anything at the moment. Sorry

    What about something that combines a panel that slides in from the top when you click a button. This panel then contains a video, mini "sueeze header" (for want of a better phrase) or an opt-in form (aweber or whatever)

    All this is controlled by a slick admin interface with lots of options.....does that sound appealing?

    You mean new plugins?

    I think that almost all needs are already converted into plugins, but you might want to create a new plugin that combines multiple affiliate networks and offers in one easy overview and being able to add/delete offers in posts and pages. Not sure if this already exists but you could make some serious money with your plugin if you are able to create something for webmasters that makes it more easily to insert/compare affiliate offers in their wordpress sites.

    Are these going to be free or paid.

    Well, I'm just new to plugin creation at the moment so I'll make a free one and then work up to a paid one. I have made 3 today already on my own PC so I have worked out how to do everything.

    Thanks for the ideas so far.

    I just wrote a script that puts comments on my own blogs. Sort of like spamming myself, but with relevant comments. It has some pitfalls, but I couldn't find a plugin that did this. Could be a cool plugin as all I found was something that came with other plugins for $100.

    A just got a nice idea, what about an in-build autoresponder as a plugin for wordpress? Manage your list and follow-ups

    I would love to find an Auto-Responder/List Building plugin with a PDF (or txt, doc, etc) file that explains how to use it. I have seen/downloaded a few free ones, but none of them come with any core information for setting them up, or even how to use them once they are installed.

    that sounds like WP simplicity that has the most commonly used plug ins all pre configured and ready to go. So there are quite a bit .. But obviously an SEO plug in , Spam protection, Syndication Plug In, Wp Super cache, SEo friendly pictures, Privacy Policy Creator , Really just google WP Simplicity this will give you an idea of the most commonly used IM wordpress plug ins
