What you usually do to get product Idea?

I try to find out what problems people have. Identify the problem –> Come up with a solution.

I wrote every idea down in case I forget the 1% amazing innovation.

Ask people about their everyday struggles. There's your next product idea!

My approach to ideation typically revolves around identifying and addressing my own challenges, then validating the pain points with potential customers. For instance, my first venture involved developing a mobile app that simplified the process of scanning and sending receipts to bookkeepers. However, we soon realized that this solution only addressed part of the problem, as paper receipts were still a hassle. This insight led us to create a more integrated solution that could digitize receipts directly at the point of sale and automate their delivery to accountants. The concept for my current venture, Amplifiles, emerged from difficulties I faced while handling B2B sales. Post-Google Meet or Zoom discussions, the deal closure cycle was excessively long, and there was little I could do to influence the internal decision-making processes of potential clients. To address this, Amplifiles enhances PDF and PowerPoint presentations by making them dynamic and interactive, thereby shortening the sales cycle and improving engagement with client committees.

1. Is it something the market wants. 2. Is it something you have the means to achieve 3. Do you want to do it

Usually just a Ah-a moment for me like oh what is that not like that typa thing, ik it’s not very specific, but it’s really depends on the type of product idea.. Last idea this one not thought out at all just a random one caz I was designing som screens and I like inspiration/mood boards.. was thinking if there are any curated browsers, where you input names and brands you like and when you search for stuff only those ones pop up😂

To get product ideas, I often observe everyday challenges and listen to feedback from various communities, identifying gaps that technology can fill. This approach keeps the solutions grounded in real-world needs and ensures they're genuinely useful.

Try to solve problems from your customers, thats what I do.

Solve your own problem. That's what I did to come up with Careering. If you have a problem worth solving, safe to assume others do as well. But that doesn't mean not to validate our idea as quickly as possible. What makes me excited about launching careering is that it can solve a problem I and countless others have currently

For me, sometimes an idea (in a real sense) pops into my mind without any prior thinking, and usually, they're the ones which I'm pretty confident about their success and mostly consider building them.

Have a pain :)

They just come randomly to me

I make stuff only as a hobby. So, usually, I'm not looking for an idea I can turn into a business, just stuff I'd find interesting to do. So to do that, I try mixing concepts that are as different from each other as possible. Say I pick classical music and business. I look for that rare comonality. Say the role of a conductor in an orchestra, to a leader in business. What can I make out of this? Maybe a product that helps a leader to line up, train and sync differnt teams for a particular project, or a piece of content like a blog post exploring that commonality. When starting this thought process, I wouldn't know what kind of value I'd create at the end, but the serendipity is fun. Again, this is not the way to generate ideas for starting businesses, but if you're looking for fun projects, give it a shot.

I get product ideas in my dream :)

Solving user problems in a more efficient way, and in the process is constantly innovating and optimising the experience.

Most of the time it gets random in my head. Then I check them and find pretty good solutions already. But all the ideas that came to daylight were from the problems I faced I didn't find a solution. But what I have learned is that most of the time you don't need to have a unique idea. If your niche is not full of big players, you always can do something better than your competitors.

I try to solve their issues , problems they do have.

The majority of the time is trying to figure out what problems i have and how do i work around them! Then i try to see if i can automate them! I believe trying to solve my own lil problems first is more effective than looking to solve others first.
