If you don't have a clue as where to start in finding a profitable idea:
Ramit Sethi had an interesting article a while back about finding profitable ideas. TLDR; look for reoccurring themes in the types of tasks/data/processes people are requesting in UpWork's marketplace (UpWork use to be oDesk).
Researching there has the built-in advantage that these are obviously things that people care enough about to pay money for, so that can serve as some preliminary validation.

- quickthrower2 8y agoYes but they are not paying a lot of money. I think a lot of those upwork postings are from hobbiests, arbitragers and really tightass businesses.
- noitsnot 8y agoI think he's suggesting finding a common need. You're not going to do the work on those sites for pocket change. You're going to create a solution then sell it Xtimes to multiple business who need it.
