8 Best Software Business Ideas to Start in 2021 (from $100M in sales data)

the number one digital marketplace for

entrepreneurs it has been shocking to

see what's popular

so in this video i'm going to share the

top eight best-selling software

categories on appsumo so that you can

get ideas on what to build

these are all multi-million dollar niche

products so why software if you're

thinking about starting a business

seven out of ten of the richest people

on earth created software

maybe you should do what the rich people

on earth are doing if you want to get

rich everything is digital aka

software's e in the world mark

andreessen said this many years ago

look at how many things in your life are

actually digital crypto

your food ordering your driving your

banking it's going to keep going in the

digital way so being a part of the

software revolution

is going to do really well for you now

and in the future and lastly once you

make software a lot of the thing is

upfront costs upfront development

and then guess what you can get rewarded

on the backend and it's easier to scale

software than opening up a bunch of

subway sandwich restaurants

so these ideas should inspire you to

create the next billion dollar company

so first off ai tools to automate and

streamline x that could be specifically

marketing or anything

so gpt3 came out which is done really

well mom basically what that means is

you throw in a few keywords and it

automatically outputs amazingness in

terms of content

it's crazy so the trend that's happening

is there's ai and things like that to

replace

entry-level repetitive tasks like

research basic content creation some of

your ads

so on the appsumo marketplace we've had

a product that was really popular called

market news so what they do specifically

is ai tool for content marketers so

analyze the best seo opportunities for

you to write about to pre-write a draft

of your articles by pulling and

summarizing them from the internet

without plagiarism and three analyze and

score how your articles stack up

compared to competitors so this is

a big category that's going to keep

getting bigger there's a lot of people

out there that are doing that

one idea for you to think about is

what's a tool that does something

similar for maybe

youtube you can actually call it replace

my producer

bye bye jeremy no more job for you just

kidding i love jerome so one thing just

to be mindful of is look at what's

already successful and that's a good way

to find other business opportunities

another thing is

other successful products making money

doesn't mean it's going to guarantee

work for you

but it's a lot easier than trying to

invent something from scratch

it's true it's called wisdom because

i've been doing this for 400 years on

the internet

all right next category that i'm really

bullish on is tools to assist

video creators just like me and you so

what's the trend that's happening video

content i'm guessing you're noticing is

on the rise

so youtube instagram tick tock only fans

why not

and it's time consuming to make all this

stuff and any tool that you can build to

help creators

streamline that process of making more

content is going to do extremely well

one example of this is happy scribe on

the appsumo marketplace so what they do

specifically is they use the best

speech to text technology that's tongue

twister to automatically and accurately

generate

transcripts in subtitles in minutes so

think about this if we make a video now

we can have a cool little subtitles and

captions on the videos

if you have a video you can actually use

that to create content so one idea maybe

for you to think about for yourself is

make a mobile editing tool to create

tick tock videos and maybe they'll even

acquire you

that's way more flexible than the tick

tock native app so just one of the ideas

that are out there that could be really

successful among

many in the content video space excuse

yeah i'm talking to you can you hit the

subscribe button so i don't miss sending

you the next video that we put out to

help you on your business journey

all right next up one of my favorite

categories and i'm super excited about

is email tools

people still send emails i know it's

like a boomer thing but it's popular

so what's the trend with this email

marketing is a huge category with lots

of players

but there are so many different types of

customers that you can carve out in your

own niche for email marketing so

we built sendfox.com because i was tired

of overpaying for mailchimp and it was

way too complicated there's a product

that did really well on appsumo called

in-charge licensing so this product was

marketing automation tool

that sends behavior-based emails using

drag-and-drop flow builder and native

integrations with major crms

man we promote some amazing stuff at

appsumo so this is just one idea another

idea is that if you're actually trying

to do outbound sales or if you're trying

to do recruiting

that's another email marketing product

what are some ideas for you around email

tools and guys by the way

any of these tools that you actually end

up building please come promote it on

appszoom.com it's our marketplace where

we can promote your product to over a

million people a month

so some ideas for you to think about on

email tools is one people are sending

emails but is there other communication

mediums that you can help them do with

their customers

text other stuff like that as well sub

stack competitor they charge 10

for people to have a paid newsletter

could you do it for free and then charge

in other ways and lastly with email

tools is that think about who's the

customer

could it be for recruiting could be for

outbound sales there's a lot of

different variations that you can do

with email tools if there is a big

player or a bunch of competitors in the

space that doesn't mean that the market

is saturated so how many restaurants are

near town this is the example i always

give

a lot and guess what some survive and

some don't think about which ones

actually survive

generally the food is really good and

it's a very specific type of food

something to consider whatever business

you're trying to work on out there

number four no code applications so so

many aspiring entrepreneurs maybe like

you maybe like me

aren't super hardcore coders but they

want to be able to start businesses and

they can't

code so no code tools are game changers

for these people i think the original no

code was pen and paper so the original

no code is this but there's many things

nowadays that you can create no code

that people can use to run businesses

so we launched a product called swipe

pages on appsumo

that did well and this is a great

category so swipe pages is a

page builder that lets you create

amazing fast loading pages that are

optimized for all devices without

writing

any code you can also create instantly

loaded accelerated mobile pages it's the

one that you load on your phone

plus track results and performance with

built-in analytics damn this is pretty

interesting so i think there's a lot of

opportunity to create more of this for

other people so like squarespace was a

great example of it shopify is a great

example of it so an idea for you in

terms of stuff to create is

no code applications to build blockchain

applications that's a pretty good idea

all right no more youtube videos we're

gonna go do that guys

garrett we're changing the business so

how do we actually do

very little coding with appsumo's

business model so when i started the

business

i literally just got a product i put it

on a page and i said send me a paypal

money and i manually emailed them

the codes for appszoomer.com so they

could get a code for imger the reality

here is that that was a very lightweight

webpage what other things could be

created

in no code applications a way to address

this is what are the problems that

you're facing are you a restaurant that

wants reservations do you need to accept

money do you need help with scheduling

is there something new that hasn't been

invented yet do it manually do it pen

and paper

and if that's something that actually

works for you then i would find a coder

to help make it into a potential product

cinco integration tools so every

business out there is using a lot of

different tools think about yourself how

many apps you have on your phone

how many tools online are using for your

online business pick one type of

business and figure out how you can

create a solution

that actually lines them all up and

integrates all the tools in one place

so let me show you one example we have

that did well on appsumo it's called

sweet dash this is an all-in-one

software solution that combines business

essentials and a pre-integrated white

label ready platform

just sounds so damn good so you have a

crm client portals file exchange project

manager invoicing and more in just one

platform so one idea just as an example

is we did sumo.com so we collected

emails and sent them for people on

wordpress and small business owners

if you're like man how do i build an

integrated tool for a company

go to someone and say hey show me all

the products you're paying are using

today and i would try to talk to a lot

of people as possible and see what

people are using all these different

products paying for all these

subscriptions

and you'll probably notice that there's

some circling around like huh they're

all using these three products

maybe i can put them together and

something that actually makes sense to

have a vertically integrated a lot of

times by the way i love seeing people's

credit card bills because it shows you

what they're actually paying for and

using and you can see if there's stuff

that you can actually coordinate

so do i need dropbox and slack and all

this other stuff or can i have it all in

one place

number six this one i never expected to

be as huge it is which is stock assets

photos videos musics gifs many many

years ago ants on the team

said hey let's remote deposit photos and

i was like i don't want to do it i would

never buy it i don't think people are

going to use it

and it's one of the greatest absolute

deals of all time many creators and

business owners are looking for assets

to enhance their messages

bloggers who need a header image

youtubers that need stock b-roll someone

needs audio for their podcast

you could specialize in a lot of

different kind of assets for us at

appsumo we promoted deposit photos and a

few other stock photo sites

and it's a library of over 195 million

really that many

holy crap high quality stock free photos

and vector images so one idea that might

be random but could be really

interesting is stock library for zoom

backgrounds

that's a really good idea nice one

number seven templates

for x think about this if you're

creating anything from scratch this

takes a lot of time

but it doesn't have to if you can use

templates maybe it's design templates

spreadsheet templates that somebody's

already used and validate

this can apply to any industry so think

about it they're templates for a website

they're templates for notion which i

don't like people using but people love

using it they're templates for dishes

they're called recipes what else can you

templatize and sell we have one on

option mode called

better sheets which is templates for

spreadsheets as well as there's a

company called crello that's done really

well

and it's an easy to use online design

editor with thousands of ready-made

templates and millions of high quality

photos and videos that you can use

damn this is pretty good so some ideas

what you can create templates for

spreadsheet templates for content

creators spreadsheets for crypto people

templates for

youtube thumbnails think about what is

the person needing a lot of different

templates for

maybe it's going to be real estate

there's a lot of different options for

that out there
