For those who have sold programs, script or projects, how did you come up with the idea and how did you sell it?

Im working on a program i wrote for automating some of the tasks as an insurance seller and my company is paying me 500$ a month (which is too cheap as my script is able to make the company tens of thousands a month)

We were tasked to prospect at home so that we had people to call the day after and i told my boss that i would make a program that did it for me. It went from a small python project to becoming much bigger with a lot more data handeling than i thought.. 

I was curious about other peoples experiences with something like this as i’m learning python at the same time as im making this project. I took the first offer i got from my boss as an extra motivation for learning the ropes of python.

I think you’re on the right track for how to build/sell projects. Find a _real_ problem, build a proof of concept, sell it to a few customers, then grow your business until you can sell the company. Next time you should work on it as a side project/business so your current employer doesn’t own the legal rights to it.
