I send out a daily newsletter with short snippets of pain points in different industries - http://www.oppsdaily.com http://www.oppsdaily.com Here is archive of sorts - http://www.oppslist.com http://www.oppslist.com The ideas are of a mediocre quality, but I find they help stimulate thought. Another idea is to go to a place like Fiverr and look at which services are most widely bought. Then build a saas solving one of those problems.

OppsDaily is a brilliant! I'm loving reading real-world problems that people are willing to pay for. Well done.

I looked at your list, sorted by "new": https://www.oppslist.com/?order=new https://www.oppslist.com/?order=new And the opportunities listed all seem at least a year old. That's not very "new", is it?
- cdiamand 8y ago
  Yep, you're right. I took a year off from generating the ideas to work on a few other projects. I'm dusting the cobwebs off everything now and getting it booted up again. Great catch!

    Thanks! Looking forward to it.

I checked out your project and it looks pretty good, I like the fact that ideas also have an estimated value attached to them. Would you mind if I included some of your ideas in my own project - Idea Miner (https://ideaminr.com https://ideaminr.com)? Of course, I will mention the source.

  Interestingly, I think there is a market for this. Maybe not as big as Product Hunt, but has a market for all potential builders to build something new.

  very cool but my eyes! How can someone follow this list? I'd be interested in following and possibly knowing which are new when I come back.
  - stevematzal 8y ago
    Fixed the color scheme. For sites like ProductHunt and BetaList the information is updated daily, for sites with less activity such as IndieHackers the information can be a few days old. For now you can bookmark the website and check it out daily until I add some social media, a newsletter and all of that stuff.

Can you share any successful story regarding that service? That someone resolved problem and become rich?
- cdiamand 8y ago
  No reports of riches yet. Although a few people have shared with me products they've built, that were inspired by the email. I personally tried out an outsourced sales venture based on one request. I made around 1k in revenue the first month doing that. I found that my overhead was high and it was a competitive landscape to find clients. At this point in time, I'm just playing the messenger. I'm not trying to get people rich. Although, I think in the future that may be a metric I start to measure myself by. Hope this helps :)
