Find the pain
Great products fix a real annoyance. Your job: spot a problem people complain about often. 🔍
Start with yourself
What boring task eats your time each week? If it bugs you, it probably bugs thousands of others too.
Listen to complaints
Read reviews, forums, and social posts. Phrases like "I wish there was a tool that..." are gold.
Repetitive = opportunity
Any task done over and over by hand is a perfect target. AI loves repetitive, predictable work.
Pick a clear group
"Everyone" is too big. Choose one group, like real estate agents or fitness coaches. 🎯
Will they pay?
The best problems cost people time or money. If solving it saves both, they'll happily pay.
Check the competition
Some rivals are good news! It proves people pay for this. You just need to do it a bit better.
Niche down to win
A tool for "dentists' marketing" beats a generic one. Specific feels made just for them. 💎
Test before you build
Ask 5 real people if they'd use it. A quick chat saves months of building the wrong thing.
You think like a founder now
You can now sniff out real opportunities. Next: how to actually turn them into money. 🚀
