Let us leave the technology to the techies who understand their subject and let them carry on with their developments. All you need to do as an entrepreneur is to select a good team with the finest technical personnel you can manage to pay. Make sure you find people that you get along with because it is important that you get along with the technological experts. In my experience they tend to be somewhat egotistical when interacting with us, the non-technical people.

You might be thinking, why I with my non-technical mind got into the web-based software business. There is one simple reason; it is an excellent opportunity for business. Online software businesses have all the elements that make a business enjoyable and rewarding.

Software has unlimited potential and you can do nearly everything imaginable on a computer through the software. You can automate updates on social media profiles, send emails and newsletters, collect payments online and even organize your data exploration.

As a software service provider, you can receive recurring income just like payments for subscriptions. With a reasonable number of customers making continual payments, you can develop a reliably profitable company.

You can start your software service providing company on a small scale and gradually increase the density and processing capabilities as your business expands. Start with a low investment, part-time staff members or even work from home.

If you can set up an online business website where buyers make purchases online, the whole process can be automated. Software sales need little if any negotiations before a sale and the payment and delivery can be managed through automated processes.

With computer software being an international commodity, the whole world is your market. Adding complementary services can help you in building a portfolio with interrelated products and businesses.

My advice to you as an experienced software business owner is to start with a basic software version and develop it based on user response. With the passage of time, your product will progress and develop into a product with a high demand because it will be based on what customers want, not a designer's understanding of what computer users might need.

For a basic software idea, look for web software that automates tedious manual tasks or conversely, one that simplifies an extremely complex one. Identify a problem and then design software that offers the solution. For inspiration, look at your daily activities and tasks, something like managing your online business site. You are sure to identify a need that is not being met by the software available.
