Hi,
few months ago I decided to stop looking for "perfect idea" as many people here as saying that more important is execution.
So I did wordpress plugin which have some competition ( 4 other already there ), people are using it, I saw that typical minus for them is this old UI, and missing some features that I could do, or improve some stuff. Ive created plugin, did readme explaining mostly benefits for the users, few youtube videos explaining how it works etc.
I saw some downloads everyday, nothing special. Sometimes 10-15 sometimes 3-5 per downloads per day.
As wordpress repository does not show it, I dont have any info how many people at least view the plugin page, so I dont have numbers about conversion rate from view plugin page to download it.
It forced me to buy 2 courses on udemy about marketing and copywriting So its a plus, I had one book about copywriting but did not read it, now at least I have motiviation.
I see how it is important.
Improved copy and videos, not see any special download increase, maybe this traffic is not so good there and I should run a page.
As I was not sure if I should now spend time, because well make webpage with traffic is not just click and drop thing I did some research on bigger marketplace selling plugins / templates etc.
There I saw that since lasy year there are not any plugins making money.. but wordpress templates yes. A lot of new templates generating gigs.
Now AAAH I have those blocks in my head, what idea to choose etc. does it makes sense etc. such dummy thoughts, questions which are blocking me to work.
I wanted to ask you guys, because many of you here work in saturated markets, internet says upwork is super saturated but well here people generate gigs there, amazon also but here people generate gigs there etc.
What do you think about this situation ? Similar is app market.
If market is saturated -
how we should do market research before working on a product ?
how should we market it later ?
and final does it make sense or maybe better is to look for something else ?
Thanks
