Thanks T, at this rate, TSB might just provide the funds to live in an oceanfront property when I move to the Cayman Islands in two months :)

Certainly not from a screenshot software, that's just a small project, but if I can get my head around the technology, or pay someone to do it, and its stable, then the sky's the limit :)

Sounds like an awesome idea. The more you use it the more ideas will pop in. I learn stuff from you guys all the time.

All sounds like a foreign language when I read what you guys write :)

ESB is so intimidating when I look at it these days, I just give up.

Disheartening as I know it's a 6-7 figure solution, I cannot fly.

Stewart! Don't give up my friend. I am mainly working on docs and videos right now. I almost have the docs updated and will be working on more videos. I'll make sure to do some step by step tutorials starting an app from scratch.

Once I get the new docs and videos uploaded, I'll need some feedback from you to understand what areas you're having a problem with.

Do remember, anything of great value ends up taking time to learn. This program was a major learning curve for me. I ended up breaking things down into manageable chunks and worked through the tough parts.

Persistence always pays off. ;)

The good news is this won't be radically changed again. Once you learn this version you won't have to worry about relearning a future version.

Yeah, it would look like these Google results for a client of mine:

https://www.google.com/search?q="Bu...t Seller Lists on December 08, 2016"&filter=0

So ESB would go out to those links, scrape them and do the rest I mentioned in my software idea thread.

You've got me covered?

Now that is exciting.

I moved the posts over to this thread in order to keep the info in one location. I like to revisit these threads when I start working.

Yep, that was the type of tutorial I had in mind.

Search Google, get all the urls, go through one by one and screen shot them and save to the database.

I was also planning on building a script that would search for terms, scrape the Google ads on the first two pages, take the screen shots and save the ad details to the database. Something that can be run during the day for search terms I want to keep track of.

Ideally to then convert the screenshots into PDF's?

And make a cup of tea :)


Already ahead of you. I was planning on doing a mail merge (a document template) with the details/images and saving it to a pdf file. You can also zip it and upload it to a directory or email it as an attachment to your customers.

Is this an app you plan on selling?

Initially for my own use, but once I know it's stable I'll be selling it, yes
