Where to Look for Product Ideas
Now that you're armed with the knowledge of the eight types of product and niche opportunities from the last chapter, it’s time to start looking for some product ideas. Coming up with a great idea for a product to sell online will occasionally strike when you least expect it, most of the time though, it's something you need to be proactively on the lookout for. The internet contains a wealth of ideas and inspiration, but where exactly should you begin?
In this chapter we will look at the best places to go for product inspiration and ideas. As you go through all the resources listed in this post, make sure to look beyond the products themselves. It may sound cliché but because there is heavy competition in the most common and popular product categories, choosing a different or unique angle can be instrumental to your success. Try not to just look at products, rather look at new ways the product can be used, new ways it can be imagined and new markets for it.
Don't forget the eight types of opportunities from the last chapter. As a refresher, here they are again:
Uncover Opportunities in Keywords Build an Interesting and Captivating Brand Identify and Solve a Customer Pain Point Identify and Cater to Consumer Passions Follow Your Own Passion Look for an Opportunity Gap Utilize Your Own Experience and Expertise Capitalize on Trends Early
Make a List
As you go through this chapter and the list of resources, it's best to capture all of your ideas on paper. Once you have all of your brainstormed ideas recorded, you will be able to return to them later and evaluate them further for viability and market potential.
1. Start with What You Have or Solve Your Own Problems
Before you begin searching the depths of the internet and the ends of the earth for product and niche ideas, it's always best to start with the ideas that you already have. If you're like most entrepreneurs, you likely already have a few ideas for products you want to sell or have thought about selling in the past. Maybe it's an idea you've had for years or maybe you have a problem in your own life that there is no good solution for currently.
Here are a few questions to consider when making your list:
What products, niches or industries are you particularly passionate about or interested in?
What products, niches or industries are your friends passionate about?
What pain points or frustrating experience do you have in your own life?
Example: Max Valverde made the decision to solve one of his own problems he faced each morning; unruly, messy hair. For most guys, bed head can only be fixed by washing your hair, but this takes a lot of time each morning so Max created a product to solve this. Morning Head is a shower cap with an absorbent towel liner that you can soak with water, place on your head and rub around for a minute to get your hair ready for styling.
2. Local Community
The idea for your perfect product to sell online might be closer than you think. Traditional brick-and-mortar businesses have been around much longer than their ecommerce counterparts. Paying attention to trends locally in brick-and-mortar retail just might help spark product ideas you can take online. Try spending an afternoon taking a look around your community and note what new or interesting retail concepts and products are on display.
Another great source of product inspiration within your community can come from your local newspapers which tend to feature new, innovative and local concepts and products. As you look at these resources, ask yourself if they can be turned into an online opportunity.
Example: Yummy Tummy Soup Company saw an opportunity to take a traditional brick and mortar concept and make it an online concept. The Yummy Tummy Soup Company sends out healthy homemade soups, cakes and pastries in a thoughtful care package. They cook and bake all products daily and send them coast to coast in temperature controlled containers.
3. Online Consumer Trend Publications
