Internet Marketing Web Application

9 replies
Hi Warriors

I was 8 years internet marketer and I changed my field to software development, since I'm really interested in it and I really enjoy developing software applications. This doesn't mean that I'm not interested anymore in internet marketing.

Since I'm a software developer I was thinking to start to create a web application to solve internet marketers problems, the problem is that I don't know where to look what are biggest problems internet marketers are facing nowadays. So is there any places where I can do some kind of research to find out those problems?

Of course if you have now already, I warmly welcome all suggestions.

    Forums like this one can help you can a feel of how things are and the frustrations people are feeling.

    Mostly internet marketers face problems like making a high converting squeeze page, driving traffic which converts and stuff like that.

    A squeeze/sales page plugin to rival the established ones like optimize press can also be useful. Wordpress plugins in general which makes the whole site building process easier can be rather lucrative.

    Oh, and I just thought of something else. A solution to get round the recent Gmail Tabs update would most definitely be welcomed by the whole IM community

    Thanks Izzu for your replies. I appreciate them. First idea based on your replies that comes to my mind is to create Squeeze Page editor or plugin, that is easy to use and yet powerful which has lots of useful features.

    What comes to Google Tabs, I didn't knew about it until now, I just Googled it. That might be something that I can't get my hand to since they are of Google.

    If somebody else have other suggestions, they are all welcome

    I've made thousands over the years from selling software and video training online.
    You don't have to write internet marketing software.
    I wrote software for MS Office and it sells all over the world.
    There are so many sites that accept software programs for download.

      I use forums for that too and I look for the threads that are recent and are asking questions but no one is really answeing and they are getting the most attention. That is usually where the money is.

      For Marketing most people do not last long because there are few programs of high quality that are widely known. Maybe you start simple by offering a software top 5 or a planning software that people input where they are having issues and it spits out some possible programs that could help.

      You would also get to know the top sellers that way too and they have a perspective I bet!


      Hope this helped at all.


      Good Luck and I would love to hear what you come up with,

    Well most Internet marketers face the problem of creating good contents and getting targeted traffic and in these things you need a human touch rather than an automation.But I appreciate your intentions.

    As for content you can't really use automation if you want to make it sensible, but this far it seems that following problems need solution most according to this topic:

    1. Getting Traffic to website/blog
    2. Creating a good squeeze page

    I have wide experience in internet marketing and there is lots of possibilities. I'm planning to make web application or desktop application with Java, because it really offers wide range of technologies and possibilities.

    Mine the forums bud! Look at what questions other people are asking. You can also find competitors who sell similar software to what you want to create and look through their sales material to find out what problems their services offer, what they know about their target market, etc.

    One of the concerns are about Google changing the Adwords Keyword Tool. If you can remedy that you might have a winner.
