Software Successfully developing and launching your own software can be one of the most difficult, but rewarding things you can do. It can also be your ticket to huge financial success. If you have an idea for a software product, and want to know more about the specifics involved then this is the chapter for you!
How Quickly Do You Want Your Software Released? You need to find out how quickly you want your software out in the marketplace. Go through these five questions to find out if your software idea is worth developing. 1. Is Your Software Unique? Right now, is there anything like your software on the market? If there isn’t, then getting your software out first gives you the exposure and competitive advantage of being the first one. If your software already exists, then you will want to be sure you have a unique angle, or at least a better strategy for marketing than the current competition. To be competitive, educating people why your software is better than what is already out there will be essential. 2. Less or More Features? If your software product idea is unique, you may have to settle for fewer features than you would ideally like, just to get your software out there. If you wait too long to get your software ‘perfect’, someone else may beat you to the number one spot and release the same idea before you.
