Ask HN: How to find a good business idea?
how do you think a good business idea is found? I would appreciate if you can share books, videos and sites about this subject. thanks.
Find a problem, solve it, charge for the solution.
All you have to do is fill in the blanks :)
It's not really tongue-in-cheek either, there are LOADS of books about this, but in the end it's all about finding a problem, providing a solution, and charging for it somehow (Time, licenses, platforms, whatever)
The best way to get there is to talk to people, don't ask them to think of products, just ask them how they go about their jobs and find out what the pain points are.
Where are they spending time on things that could be automated, or made simpler, or just eliminated by changing methodologies.
Ask around for problems, figure out how to use technology.
