Back to Coding Again
Saturday, October 27th, 2007After feeling that coding and writing software is not as profitable as starting a lazy online business like hosting or Advertising company. This feeling is mainly because I was looking too high and too much ahead ! I was always thinking that to start a software company I should be writing enterprise applications such as systems like Ebay or Shopping.com
I had yesterday some free hours and thought, well, I have learned a few marketing skills why not try to write a simple software and then try to sell! So I did, I wrote a PHP application that automates the process of comment submission to veoh.com. The coding took me 12 hours because I haven’t coded for about a year! and I forgot all the coding strategies and techniques.
Then, off to sell it! Imagine! I just started with a little marketing campaign of 1 minute or less, I have sold 12 copies within the first hour! and it is selling like hot cakes! The software is available at : http://www.imed5.com/license
Hopefully after finishing and submitting my PhD thesis, I will get back to coding software again! as right now I am totally under pressure
