If you are a programmer / coder, you are always thinking about coming up with an innovative software program / app that will simply blow away your target market and fetch you rich economic dividends for all the work work you will put in. However, conceiving a great idea and then following it up with a meticulous piece of coding is only a part of the picture.

You need to put in some great energy and planning, and then back it up with a hefty marketing spree in order to bring your product to the light in front of the right market segment. Equally important is going on a marketing spree only after you have a well thought out strategy in mind. And such dividends can most probably only be brought about by a professional marketing agency who are well suited to this job and know all the ins and outs. The odds of an individual with little or no knowledge of marketing successfully executing a marketing strategy for a software / app aren’t really high, so it is wise to leave this job to those who are well suited to it.

Today we will be taking a brief look at 5 online technology platforms that can provide just the right kind of impetus your tech marketing strategy requires. Here it goes then.

Syndicateads.net

This is a premier platform offering access to websites that can be termed as marketing gurus, offering a large variety of services. Most of the websites on their network require you to pen down the marketing content yourself, and once it gets posted as an ad, they will notify their readers about all such sponsored content’s nature.

The marketing rates for websites on their panel range from as little as $350 and go even above $10000!

Purch.com

This is yet another rich network offering access to a wide array of websites that attract a sufficient amount of web traffic. Just to stress the importance of the heavy amount of visitor traffic they get, Purch’s network attracts over 3.8m mobile users and approximately 1m IT decision makers. For those of you who have a marketing budget of less than $25000, Purch the self-service facility will come in pretty handy.
