What product can I build?

9 replies
Hello,

I am a programmer with 7 years of professional experience working as a Web and Mobile Developer. I have recently resigned from my job to focus on big things. I have enough savings to support myself for another 12 months. I want to utilize my time by working on a product.

As I am from a technical background, my knowledge of Business and Marketing is close to nothing.
However I am technically gifted and I have built various complex software, websites and apps. I am looking for ideas for a product in the IM niche or other connected areas. I can handle all the technical things.

What are some ideas that I can consider?Does there exist any gap in current offerings, that I can exploit or are there any new products that can be built that can solve any new problems? Have you ever wished there existed any solutions to some problems you are facing now? Whatever are your suggestions please share them.

(I am not sure weather I am posting in the correct forum. Mods can move the thread if the content isn't appropriate to the current forum.)

    Your first mistake was to resign from your job without a plan of action. You do not even know what you are going to create, never mind the fact you have no business or marketing knowledge. Right now you are destined to run out of savings before you even start on your dream

    Sorry for the reality check but you should have planned better

    Hey Venky, welcome to the board

    I can understand that you are from the technical background and has no knowledge of internet marketing. Keeping this apart try to browse the WSO (Warrior Special Offers) section of this forum. Check for the software threads. While checking carefully read all the replies from those users and find loop holes in that software.

    Check competitors of that software outside this forum.

    Mix all the missing features together and here you go. You will have the best software in the industry.

    I hope this will help you somewhere.

    Hey.. You Could start a You Tube Channel... with technology specific playlist.. with 10/15 videos each of 5 mins... I did that on Wordpress.. and it helped get me fan base...

    It can work.. you will be able to quickly gather views on YT and more.

    I am looking for ways to monetize that apart from the YT's Ad Revenue ( & some affiliates....)

    Hey Venky 456
    Feel free to pm me. I want to understand better what you are looking for.
    I have a few winning exploit ideas you can leverage to what ever you want. They have worked for others and they will work for you.
    Also, congrats on you quitting your job.
    That was your first step to MAKING SURE you win.
    You Have To Win Now.
    That's the true Warrior mentality. Very few can do what you have done.
    Getting another job with your talents is easy.
    Will it be ruff without the safety net of a slave job?
    Sure it will.
    You only need to fail quick...that's the secret. Then you will know exactly what to do in the coming months to be more than a success.
    Failure only shows you what not to do..then the only thing left is what works.
    When you find whats works...success is guaranteed.
    PM me..it is possible I can help or I know who can.

    That's the true Warrior mentality.
    With 80 posts in 15 years, you wouldn't have a clue.

    I would say quitting your job without a plan, and "failure is not an option." Would be the direct opposite of the experienced warrior mentality.

    For example:

    Your first mistake was to resign from your job without a plan of action. You do not even know what you are going to create, never mind the fact you have no business or marketing knowledge. Right now you are destined to run out of savings before you even start on your dream

    Another route is to not build anything before you have the funding for it. Create a technical white paper for any idea you have, create a simple website and launch an ICO to raise funds for the project. Forget what the 'im niche' wants. Think bigger!
