Would you suggest if I’m doing right? Starting a social marketing software

    At this point I would like to seek your valuable suggestion. I’m planning to create social marketing software that will pull leads + traffics from twitter, pinterest and facebook. I'll sell it on most popular online marketplaces. This is a big budgeted project. Programming cost will be high; marketing cost will be even higher.

    So, before taking the risk, I would appreciate if you share some of your thoughts.

    This is just a primary plan; may be edited or canceled upon your valuable suggestions. I respect all of your suggestion.

    - The software will generate followers automatically or semi automatically using multiple accounts. Those accounts also will be created by this software under individual VPN.

    - Niche targeted, with multiple messaging system integrated.

    - Spin messages before sending (with no spamming – means it will get permission to send messages from all friends before sending)

    - Category or sorting system.

    Please share your idea on improvement and additional features.
    I have little experience on free software that I created and published from CNET and my website. However, this is first time I’m planning something big that risk my budget.
    Thank you in advance ……… :)

    Check if there is anything out there already before you start, and see what they are doing, use your competitors errors to improve

    My recommendation before going through the expense and effort of developing this system is to validate the idea by finding people willing to pay for the product/service first. There are plenty of services that help you manage and/or grow your social media following and reach to customers.

    How would your product be different from those? More importantly do you think you can effectively communicate the competitive advantage to potential customers adequately?

    Another concern that I know I have had in the past is the quality of followers/likes/etc. created by services such as this. Anything "automatic" instantly makes bots, fake accounts and less than useful traffic to mind for myself and others. Do you have any ideas on how to counter this?

    Just a few thoughts... hope this helps.

    Cheers!
    Chris

    Yes, there are apps with similar functions. But I'm planning to make it little different and more effective.

    This is another great suggestion Chris. I liked it very much. I see many people using this kinds of accounts to make business and this software also has very high demand in the market.

    Thanks Richard and Chris. Your valuable input helping me to update the project plan.

    So you would mak fake social followers for selling to clients?
    Same old marketing trick us puting a payed queue to the club/pub/restauran/ entrance. It is may ignite the startup, but not feed your business.
    Fake is Fake and that is dangerous for the reputation of your potential clients.

    botmarket.net has many of these types of bots if you are interested in seeing what they have to offer.

    I know that there are plenty of these types of software on the markets but I think for what you would like to create you are on the right track.

    Good Luck to You
