I have an idea, I am going to develop software or videos and sell them in the mall at a kiosk, what software do you think will sell? I just need to figure out what do put on a cd and just sell them like crazy for $10 a pop....

Video professor type software?
Childrens software?

etc......

Unless you are going to sell to 13-16 year old girls, it's not a very good idea, sorry to say!

Well the video professor type software is a line of software products which shows adults and teens how to use programs like excel, word, etc. Also how to use ebay, the internet, etc.........

Not necessarily, demographics in a mall shift depending on the time and location. If you're serious, go to the mall at spaced intervals several times a day throughout the week and notate the demographics you see, and what they tend to be buying (look at the bags for logos). Based on that, segment, and see if you can come up with a software set.

I personally wouldn't do it unless I had a deep product line of something super gimmicky, but I'm not good with software.

What do you mean by deep product line that is super gimmicky?

Think reader rabbit, he scaled into math and geography. That's a deep product line. Same with Rosetta Stone. For gimmicky, take a look at the stuff they sell at airports (because apparently people are buying that stuff otherwise they wouldn't be able to afford the insane kiosk premiums). Gimmicky is anything your salesrep can hardclose.
