How to find product ideas?

Good to know:

You can't come up with a 100% original idea.

Take inspiration from other products and fix the bad things in them:

- UI/UX

- Add or reduce features.

- Change the target customer.

How to find products to copy?

1) Marketplaces:

Go to Envato, Chrome store, AppSumo, App Store, etc and find products with a lot of downloads but a low rating.

Read the reviews carefully and extract the pain points.

2) Stories:

You can find problems, ideas, and markets by reading other product stories.

3) PH, IH, HN, Betalist, etc:

If you are looking for product ideas, make sure to follow these websites:

- Product Hunt.

- Hacker News.

- IndieHackers.

- Beta list.

4) Freelancing:

Working as a freelancer will let you know people's needs and their pain points.

- You can find some tasks that can be easily automated.

- Softwares they are using.

- Plugins ideas.

What if you don't want to work as a freelancer?

5) Spy on freelancers:

Browsing Upwork, Guru, Fiverr, etc will let you know what businesses are looking for.

It's a great way to find tasks that can be automated.

It's good to start learning marketing, sales, copywriting, and everything related to business.

Tech skills are not enough these days.
