Where to go next - programmer looking for ideas.

You can try your hand at creating plugins. It's a good start. This might require niche research on your part. But you can successfully launch your Internet Marketing business from here.

Otherwise, from what I've seen. Many of the top Vendors who sell software on JVzoo hire other people to create them. Track down their profiles on Facebook -- and be on the lookout for openings. (Yes, they post about it on their profiles) It's a long shot but it's worth it.

Also, have you checked out the Warriors for Hire section? Maybe you can post there?

Although, if you're eager then you might start Freelancing. There's a fair chance of landing an Internet Marketing gig.

It'd be best if you could get joint ventures. JVs will open up good opportunities for you. Who knows? If you do a good enough job they might hire you for their next product. Again and again. You'd also get good recommendations for the sort of niche you want to work in. I suggest that you look into the Warrior Joint Ventures section regularly.

If you are a good programmer then unlimited opportunities waiting for you. Find problem in any niche you are passionate about and create a software, application or plugins to solve that and you are good to start a IM journey? Are you a wordpress coder? TractorHead?? Thanks :-)

Hi Fastlanesamurai, thankyou for your reply. Much appreciated.

I have thought about the JV side. Long and hard infact. This is the best way to go for me - perhaps with JVZoo vendors aswell.

My current position is that I can do absolutely anything - no job is too hard - I think like this because of my past and the kind of huge systems I have done in industry.

If I don't know something technical - I just read up - then do it. Such as interfacing with other systems / carts / blogs etc. Learning new tech is part of the job - not a problem.

I get the impression many JV's are 50/50 - but I am more than prepared to code for 20/80 (20 for me - just to pay bills and build up).

Would that be seen as a viable offer for a JV? Do you think anyone would be interested?

I am keen to get going on something heavy now, something which people will use and need - that's my reward in terms of "job satisfaction" - software I write which is being used widely.

I mean from my perspective, if I were a vendor who worked on JV's, I would snap someone like me up ASAP at 20/80 if they had my years in development behind them. But I just don't know how to play it. Whoever I do systems for - I can tell you this - they are in for a real surprise.

You can help contribute to the Steem project and earn money when blogging about things you've built for Steem on Steemit.com. https://github.com/steemit/steem and learn more at steem.io.

I'm curious OP -- What prompted you to want to go back to working for someone? The world is your oyster at this point. You can do pretty much whatever you want

You got such a long experience in programming, and now you're trying to get into MMO niche rather than building lucrative SAAS or AI products? Its very hard to believe.

Is there any application you can use to back up your claim of years of experience?
May be that help to convince people of what you can do.
For me, am interested in your JV but I need to be sure of your own side too.

Anayb. I started programming more than 25 years ago, before google incorporated too. Just because you may be an inexperienced kid, doesn't mean he is.

Also, being able to create a product is completely different from being able to sell it. Two ENTIRELY different things.

I like you already.

Check the launch list on JVZ - https://www.jvzoo.com/marketplace

See what other software is selling. Wander around this forum and others and see what problems people are having, you could code a solution for.

Hint: WordPress is the CMS to focus on.

"You think all forums people are equal stupid"

No - that is not true - that statement is completely wrong and could not be further from the truth.
You ***really*** would be better off not trying to read my mind.

Anyway - enough of being like that - it serves no purpose.

Hi All - just wondered - anyone else wants to contribute to this for me who hasnt seen it yet?
Cheers

This is the reality of it, you will find most products and services are built on a lack of transparency. What that means is many don't acutally generate more revenue for the retailer, they put the retailer under more red tape and bureacracy.

What many retailers find is that the solutions they are sold don't match the actual products they were expecting. It comes back to something relating to psychology called a double-bind, a correct scenario is to have the start equal the end going through the detail. The retailer is buying the detail in via third party experience, what often happens is the end doesn't match the start.

This puts the retailer in a compromising situation, do they unwind and start again, or fight through it and try and make it work. Most choose the latter. Some companies know produced start to end solutions around PHP for eCommerce which actually worked, but they pulled the plug as they were for their own proof of concept and didn't push them out to production as they diversified in to other areas.

They are 100% functionally complete, but need a retail front put on them for mass market. There's a possibility could introduce you depending on the situation. Otherwise things are slowly changing from the sell at any cost model to actually providing value for the retailer. The problem is not many retailers understand what they have been provided is either oversold or in too many cases just indirectly fake for service provider revenue, meaning they work but cause negative productivity gains.

The area you need to concentrate on is generating more productivity for less cost to the retailer. Unfortunately there are too many people in the market selling the world and delivering very little, so unless you have something with a true edge, it's a tough call outside of following the produce a lot and create very little crowd. That's why you are lost, you don't have the edge product and you don't want to follow the crowd.

If you have a bit of gumption this covers most of them http://www.warriorforum.com/ecommerc...solutions.html there are more but would have to go back to the poc company.

PS. If you are good don't settle for less, your statement about 'snap me up' actually makes most people walk away, price yourself for what you are worth, not more, not less and if it's not what you are worth walk away. People like confidence, not submission, you'll be surprised how many come back when you tell them you're not interested. The problem is getting them to engage in the first place these days, everyone expects you to go to them, so you have to wait for them to implode first, it becomes a much easier negotiation, that's the price or go away.
