Good advice, all around. Only the gullible and uninformed would pay for a service like this, or even take the time to use it for free. The ones that learn later they tossed their cash in the fireplace aren't likely to be thrilled. So your target audience would be uninformed webmasters with disposable income who don't hold a grudge...
But if you can code this, that makes your programming skills above average. You could probably spend less time making scripts and services that would probably appeal to a larger audience. Somebody in the general forum here is looking for a php script to pick a couple of photos at random and display them. Somebody in one of the coding forums was complaining about a joke-serving script they paid for, and couldn't customize.
Bizarre as it sounds, there's a huge demand for trivial programming that takes 20 minutes. You could either support this with advertising, charge for the scripts, whatever. Probably want to make a freebee or two; my WebMaestro software is free, and draws a good amount of traffic. The hope is people stick around and look at other pages from there. |
