Selling a service or a product online?
How would you go about promoting your site from which you sold some sort of service or product(s). For example, if i set up a website where i'm selling scripts and application or web software installation services, how would i promote my site? I want to get some quick exposer in the marketplace so i can make some customers fast and kick start my business.
The only reason i hesitate to build a software which i can sell online is, number one i don't know how i would go about promoting it online. For example, i could build a software which allows people to integrate web forms on their websites. I been thinking about doing this one for a long time.
How did companies like vbulliten become so popular. I'm sure there are forum software out there which better than vbulleten which we haven't heard of. Why? Because they couldn't market it as effectively as vbulleten did with their software. So what did vbullenten do to promote their software become so widely used around the world?
Likewise, i searched for companies who provide form widgets (for a fee) for people to use on the websites. Now some of them are successful while some seem to be struggling (you can usually tell through forum activity).
So, in summary, I want to build a software which i can potentially sell online. However, how would i go about marketing my company and software online?
