icon Ideas needed

Hi dear members,

I would like to know what kind of software I could sell in the site... at the moment I'm working for a company and dedicate some of my spare time to the site, earning some money from the sponsors...I'd like to have something to sell (maybe a free application with source code for sale or something like this at a small price...$5-$10)...and maybe start working for my own and dedicate much time to the site!

do you have some suggestions??

Hmm... the only things I can think of... I'm doing and going to try and sell... so don't know if I want the competition ;)

But I always write programs that I can use, or find useful, because chances are someone else would too (and if not, you've got a working program).

maybe the question is: what would you like to buy? is there something that is worth some money?

Hmm... trying to think of things that the price you're desiring would make it worth it... yet usable to people...

For non-programming stuff...
Something like a recipe program... allow people to enter their favorite recipes, then have it print out what's needed (shopping list), and instructions... even convert  between measurements... (it'd be a fairly easy program to create).

Hi,
what about a CRM software?
Or maybe in the site you should include a entry form that permit a company to ask for some program or something.
Or maybe a alternative to office is a useful stuff.

Bye

well, the other VB sites often advertize their OCXes...

I'm flashing out: (a good) customizable reporting tool, (a good) db interfacing manager, (a good, and light) tool to instant-message my app(s) into a local network, (a good).... well, anything that MS didn't include in VB, or anything that VB developers are often complaining about. It's not an easy choice.

I miss so much a VB-like language for Linux platform. I would like moving to Linux, but after five years studying VB I find myself out tight bound to MS world, and I'm wondering: "If I do, what language can I develop with?". It's sad after all my efforts to increase my VB strenght. Somebody made it for MSAccess dbs, with Recall, but nobody minded yet about VB. I don't know if it takes an emulator, or a compilator, or a complete brand new language, I'd just like to see one day my VB-written app running on a Linux machine. But maybe, it's still a far idea to reach...

  If you're ready to hit a hard market, You may write a book on VB and VBA.

  You see here all the question that some people have, all the do and dont of everybody. You have the knownledge of quite a few programmer here that would gladdy give some free advise.

  In particular, here one thing that we dont see emntionned in a lot of programming books, "How to create Help file, and how to link you're help file with you're application".

I hope this will help.

well, neutrall... that is quite a good idea....

perhaps andrea/admin may write a book.. on vb, that taps some of the other hidden potentials or other things that can be brought out of visual basic...

including making help files, or your own installer may be optional projects admin ma include inside the book!

Why not go to a site like www.rentacoder.com and take a look at the kinds of things people are willing to pay someone to do for them?  This will give you an idea of what people are willing to pay for.
