I have my own website selling shitty ai chatbots as embeds.
What the fuck can i sell anon. I really hope you can help me out here, i desperately wanna be wealthy.

I just have 2 questions:

1. What do i sell? I have no idea what the market needs. And im not some genius coder.
2. How to advertise? Obv a website isnt enough, i had to do cold calling just to get people to notice i exist

yep. it takes a certain type of person who actually enjoys shilling pens. i have a friend who loves that shit. because if he makes a sell, his narcissism and bragging rights blows thru the roof. personally, i don't enjoy selling shit to make richfags richer. if i'm going to sell something on my time it's going to me my shit on my time

You're saving that money and doing productive things with it, right?

>> No.57182666

>>57180279
do some research on the market, see if something can be sold that is slightly faster/cheaper/more convenient than alternatives, then use chatgpt to create some marketing material. Get some sales, then once you get enough hire a young sales guy who is looking to get in on the ground floor at a young tech company. You'll probably have to offer some kind of percentage ownership package.
My advice: maybe focus on something like the medical field. Payment processing, patient records, compliance procedures, etc. There's a ton of ancient software that they all use and most are probably dying for something new.

>> No.57182781

>>57182666
Checked.

But anon, ffs thats so vague.
The medical field? They are all very strict with GDPR and shit and they use some proprietary shit software.
Before i migrate it ill be an old person, and i know jack shit about payment or similar processes.

You guy say so casually
>just make something thats better than what is currently in the market
>just create something in a yesr thats better than what was made and polished by entire teams of devs over years and already have control of markets

I don't know what to tell you, anon. Creating a company takes a lot of work and usually some first hand knowledge of what's lacking in a certain market and creating a product to serve that lack. Since I don't work in software, I can't tell you what kind of software product will make for a successful business.
I do know there's massive growth potential in the medical software field, and everything that they currently use is dogshit. Try doing some digging and see if there's some niche in the field that doesn't require stringent security or just learn how to make software that is compliant.
Failing that, try getting a job in that field and finding the gaps through experience and first-hand knowledge.
That's the best advice someone not in your situation can give you.

honestly my sale engineer does the majority of talking (selling a technical solution) so it depends if you can explain things well. he also doesnt make as much commission so made way less(although he has a higher base salary) he probably made like 185k TC this year
