Most people start with what they want to sell. The profitable ones start with what others already need. Every product or service that earns daily income solves a small, specific problem. The faster you match a real problem with a useful solution, the faster you make sales.
1. Identify a Clear Pain Point
People spend money to remove pain, save time, or reduce risk. Ask:
-
What do people complain about in forums or social media?
-
What small task do they repeat daily that takes too long?
-
What do they wish they could do automatically or faster?
Write the exact sentence they use. That becomes your product headline later.
2. Test Before You Build
Don’t waste weeks on design or branding. Post a short test offer first:
“I help small shops create daily social posts for €29 — interested?”
Send it to 20 people in your network or groups.
If at least two say “yes” or ask questions, the idea has traction. If nobody replies, adjust the problem you solve.
3. The 3-Step Demand Formula
-
Problem: A clear frustration people admit.
-
Solution: Something you can deliver in less than a day.
-
Proof: A quick example, demo, or before–after image.
When all three are visible on one page, selling becomes easier than convincing.
4. Real Examples That Work
-
Problem: Local cafés can’t post online daily.
Solution: Sell a “30 ready-to-post captions” pack. -
Problem: Freelancers lose time writing offers.
Solution: Offer an “AI Proposal Template Kit.” -
Problem: Small landlords need rental ad photos.
Solution: Sell fast photo editing or staging presets.
Each example solves a small but constant need. Scale comes from repeating it, not from inventing new ideas weekly.
5. Measure Demand Early
Use free data to confirm interest:
-
Google Trends: see if searches for the topic rise.
-
Reddit and Quora: check how often people ask about the issue.
-
Facebook Groups: count how many comments appear on similar posts.
If discussion is active, there is demand.
6. When to Build More
Only after your first five paying users or clear confirmations.
Then make a cleaner website, add payment links, and create delivery templates. Don’t polish until you prove interest.
7. Core Rule
You can’t create demand; you can only recognize it faster than others.
Sell solutions, not ideas. Solve one problem completely for one group. Then use data, not guesses, to decide if it’s worth scaling.
