Build your own software empire

Software is one of the most profitable trades today. Even if you are not a developer, you would make a fortune out of software. There are thousands of people out there selling software. Even if they did not write a single line of code. Ideas for software are everywhere.

One of the best things is, the number of people on the internet is constantly growing, the number of people searching and buying online is growing, so that means the opportunities are just getting bigger and bigger! With a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week credit card ordering web page that automatically take orders for you from all over the world, while you are sleeping, or on holiday, or doing whatever you want to do.

Lets take an example how a software package is born. The hard drives on computers are getting bigger and bigger. More and more information is available on the internet. When collecting information and saving it to your hard drive, more and more file are scattered around your hard drive. A couple of weeks later you accidentely delete a folder, and another week later you are looking for a piece of information that was saved in that deleted folder. If you could save all related files together, this would not happen.

So, what you need is an application that can save all your snippets, articles, files, images in a cetral location. Brain storm some ideas on how you need to do this, or think of the actions you need to perform.

You can brainstorm all these features and actions in the BluePrint application. The BluePrint applications has a wizard collecting all these information. After collecting all the features and user stories (action description of how the user will use the software), you can start designing the screens. A tool palette holding all the interface objects of your application can be clicked and paste to the form you are currently designing.

While designing the screens of your application, you can ask the program to map the screen to the data file of your application. While you are designing the screen, the application will keep track of the data that your screen will capture to compile the list of all the data fields in your application. You can always modify the fields afterwards if needed.

It's time for developing your software

Your software blue print are completed, and you are now ready to deliver your blue print of your software to a developer. If you are not developing the software you can look for a developer. To create your blue print with BluePrint, click on the Generate document button. All the parts from features to the data layout will be created in one document. You can now finally edit the document, read it through and see if you want to make any changes. If you are happy with the document, you can generate a .pdf file. The file can be encrypted if you want to apply security to your document. Now you can just send the document by mail to the developer. Here are some site that you can look for a reliable developer.

• Ework

• Freeagent

• Elance

• Ants

• ICPlanet

Maybe you can get a programmer that are still building his reputation or name, that will work for free : When you've finally selected your programmer you need to:

• Agree a price.

• It should be affordable

• Agree a timescale or timeline for completion.

• Agree a payout schedule.

• Agree a contrac for the project.

What's next?

While the developers are busy, you can get busy with your next program. You can create multiple blueprint with the BluePrint application. When you receive your application back from the developers, you need to test it. It should be close to what you've asked in the blueprint. Testing your software is one of the most important aspects of your program. If it is posible, give some copies to your friends. When they test it for the first time, whach them using your program. Take notes of what they are doing. Give them some tasks that they have to perform with your program. Take notes on the sequence of events that they follow to perform a task. Identify the needs to change something to make the task easier. You could also log these changes in BluePrint. If there are bugs in the program you can log them in the BluePrint application. Keep record of all the bug fixes of the application, and mark them as complete when they are fixed.

It's all in the packaging and marketing

While the developers are fixing the bugs in your application, you can start planning your website.

When you buy software from a computer shop you get your software in a box with a manual. You can do the same by putting a virtual box on you website. Using a designer to create a 3D box for you, could cost you quite a lot of money. There are software available for the price more or less the same as what one design could cost you.

Do not use to much graphics on your website, and if you use graphics on your website, it must be related to the content of your site. Also in the box you should put a manual, or at least a helpfile, or better online help. You should negotiated the online help with the developer. There are free utilities that you can use to create help files.

The beter the user can help himself with the support of the documentation that goes with your software, the less time you will spend on supporting them. You can also start a news group, where the users can go to seek some answers on their difficulties. You can also have a forum, or some support pages, or a FAQ page on your website. When someone is ordering from your website, you will have their e-mail address. If you do not have any support pages when your site is published on the web, you can always notify them of additions by sending them mail messages later. You can easilly identify problem areas while your software is in testing.

Putting your product on the web

The first option here is to get a web developer. But if you could create your own web page, you could save a lot of money by creating the site yourself. Before spending lots of money on a web developer, the second option is to use some automated process for creating a website. The third option is to learn HTML. There are more than enough sites where you can learn HTML. HTML is the language that they use to create web pages. But to start learning HTML before you can market your product, and your product is ready, I would suggest the first or second option.

There are other sites as well that will do this, but they are web base. Here are some website you can vissit. When I buy a package, I want the package on my machine. I do not want to log on to the web to access the package that I paid for. You can have a look at them, here are their websites Although affiliate programs is not within the scope of this article, it is worth while looking at the concept. Here are some web sites you can visit.

On the web is not enough

When your web page is complete, you need to host it somewhere where it is visible. You
need to get a hosting company to host your website. When subscribing to a hosting company, they will
give you all the info needed to publish your website. After your website has been registered, you need to publish your website. Once it is published, you need to promote your website. This you can do by using banner adds, subscribing to ezines, or using the search engines. Most of the search engines do provide a space where you can promote your website. There are also software that you can use to ensure that your pages do get high rankings on the search engine like Webposgold. Here are some sites:
