tibberous Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I have an obituary system that can hook into any website with an external script include, it also has a funeral planning form and a contact form. It's used by like 250 funeral homes right now, but so far my company has generally been sticking it on sites we've done. I was thinking about either offering it to existing web designers - it's only for funeral websites, but anyone who knows html web design can use it, and the prices on funeral home websites tend to be higher than most other fields. I was thinking: - Webdesigner calls funeral home, shows examples of their work and my system, gets a sale. - Webdesigner get sale and upfront payment, I create the account, they install it on the new site. - They either pay for a membership to the obituary system, or they leave that up to the funeral home (it works either way, membership unlocks some features) - Webdesigner gets their money for the site. They are happy they didn't have to code/pay for an obituary system and forms -- I'm happy because another person has the obituary system, which makes money off of memberships and advertising. Here is an example of the system added to a site: http://steelandwolfe.com/obituaries.htm What do you guys think of the idea? I thought of tweaking it and putting it on hotscripts, but it isn't really a script, its a hosted solution -- and I need people to offer it, because funeral directors aren't going to be on hotscripts making their own sites.

tibberous Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 No ideas? The system took almost a year to make, I just hate that we get out sold by companies with a worse product but 5 sales guys...

.josh Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Sounds like a pyramid scheme... Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/142833-how-can-i-get-people-to-resell-my-hosted-software-product/#findComment-749719 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tibberous Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 ? But I wrote it myself, unless I'm the top of the pyramid? I just really want to get more people on the system - we don't have a bad customer base right now, but after costs we aren't making that much.
