What's the first thing you do when working on a new idea?

@aaronoleary i usually go for free .web.app domain so first focus becomes building the product and landing page to not waste much time on landing page i use Frontendor

working on something interesting

Something. Anything. If you do not start work (real steps to win) within 3 days - idea will RIP. It means do not think too much - just start do something ASAP and then you'll just feel what to do next and plan will be born by itself.

See if anyone else is doing it and how. Even if they are doing it, I end up doing it anyways because I think I can make it better.

I write everything down first. Nothing structured, just raw thoughts. Then I read through those notes and think about it all for a while, to see if I like the idea. See if it's something I want to pursue vs whatever else I have going on. Sometimes just writing it down is enough.

I think for me its to validate the idea. Understand what work has been done in this field if at all. {literature review} , SWOT analysis with a focus on impact and scale. Then it’s about finding things that work independently that will help me materialise this new idea such as tools and teams.

Procrastinate 😀 . Then one day, finally buy a domain (like you @aaronoleary , i have about a dozen unused domains as well ,good to know i am in good company 😀 ). Then day-dream about how my new startup is going to have customers fighting over each other to try and be the first to signup with me. Procrastinate some more. Then finally take a pen & paper and write down the pros, cons, blockers and core focus of my idea. By then, usually, someone more sensible already launches a product with the same idea. So, then it's time to repeat the process once i get my next "big idea" 😀

I personally look for inspiration. I do web design, and for me inspiration is the most important thing. I think you should start with that too. Find something that inspires you. It doesn't have to be one thing or one picture. It can be anything. Personally, I spent a lot of time making flyers for nightclubs and looking at what they were like on various free services. I even tried to find something suitable from free flyer templates download https://www.elegantflyer.com/cat... . Early in my career, I couldn't come up with anything of my own. And that's absolutely fine. I want to tell you not to worry about it. Just try to do it again, but in your own way. You have to be aware of what you are doing.

Failed on two Startups.

Never think about an idea first. As i designer i think about an space to work on. It's create an broad way to looked at it. small example:- India have disorganised industry in pets sector. Person A:- I want to build FMCG product for pets, which may be an good idea.Idk Person B:- Okay so why i'm having different experiences in this industry. > Why there is only 40,000 doctors for animals in india ? ( only pet dogs population 21m ) > Why paw parents are not trained to take care of their pets? Can i shift their behaviour ? > why laws are not so organised ? >there are many ..........

Estimate required effort to implement it. => if more than 2 days of work postpone assessment to the end of the month (I end each month by making my backlog for the next one). Estimate the potential return (market size if business idea, or impact on branding potential for content ideas) If the potential return/effort worth it I review the existing competition. If I still see potential: - If it is less than 2 days of work, implement it on some weekend - Otherwise plan it my monthly backlog.
