What sells well now?

    Hi,
    Lately I decided to raise some money for my future project (not a lot, that's only $1000 or $1500). So I thought I need to do something... I started by writing articles, but it took me 1 week to make $50; so I decided I should do something else, or I won't get to the amount I need.

    As I know programming (PHP and C#), I decided to create a script and sell it here in DP. I thought of an AutoBlogger script that grab content from other blogs and publish it directly to Blogger. To make my script a little special, I thought of adding 2 features: blogs management (you can easily add blogs to the script without the need to edit php code, upload script, add cronjob...) and hot trends (the script will fetch Google hot trends keywords and grab articles using those keywords).
    Finally, I would add a long guide on how to build autoblogs and optimize them for Google.

    Do you think this will succeed? And how much shall I charge for it?
    Do you think it can sell? is it really interesting or Crap? What are the things that you think can sell most??

    Thanks, awaiting your answers.

    If you have those kind of skills you could always do a little freelancing to make extra money.

    Honestly,autoblogged market is saturated already.
    There huge risk inside it when you'll lose revenue when people nulled your script.
    The recent hot product is forex trading robot,many people looking to buy profitable robot.

    Why don't you compare the prices of other similar products?

    You can sell anything if you know how to sell and who will buy.
    Otherwise, you may need to find sellers who can help you to sell your products.

    As suggested above, you should consider freelancing if you have the skills to do what you mentioned above. You mention that you do not have the time, but you pretty much control your time as a freelancer. you get to pick the jobs that you bid on and how many you take on.. You should be able to raise the money pretty quickly

    I like to visit the BST forum and click the top of the "views" column so the threads get sorted by views in descending order. That's usually good for a clue about what people are interested in.

    I think you can sell your skill in programming for who that need your script for special job, like script for special task by people order. In this job you can sell high than "regular script", because this kind script may be "hack" or nulled.

    True dat.

    But it must be niche, and you have to build a better mousetrap.

    Good luck to the O.P..

    best way to sell is on the internet. best things to sell on the internet are light shippable items. and best of all things that don't need to be shipped. downloadable items, so you are on the right track...put your mind to it and you will succeed.
