I'm one of the Co-founders of Socialblaze - here's my response to your questions:
Socialblaze is a social media management application that helps companies measure and optimize their return on investment from social media marketing. It has a lot of advanced social media analytics that most other social media management tools don't have; but that agencies and brands need to measure their social media marketing efforts.
We haven't done a whole lot to market it besides for some SEO efforts, blogging, Facebook + Twitter. There's a lot more we could have done in terms of SEO; but we ran out of funds to continue working on it full time.
We want to sell Socialblaze because we want to pass it along to a company who can work on this full time and who can achieve the vision we have for Socialblaze.
After this, we don't have specific plans. We'd be interested in possibly coming along to continue developing the product. Whatever we do, we want to continue developing products since that is what we're really good at.
I'm applying with my long-time boyfriend. We've been working on our app for about a year now. It's a social media management application that helps companies measure and optimize their return on investment from social media marketing. http://www.socialblazeapp.com
We're actually about to launch a public beta soon.
Probably not. It is easy to think that making $40K right away is easy when reading sites like Techcrunch because all you see are successful startups. But like others have said, most startups fail. For a normal startup, it's not easy to get a lot of traffic right away, especially without much money to put out for marketing.
But, it's possible. It depends on your idea, execution, connections, etc. If you can establish some great partnerships, you will have a better chance at success. Good luck!
