You either have to find a pain point or just jump into a saturated market with a better product. There is always room for something polished.
For years I've been jumping from wpengine, to posterous, tumblr, blogspot, trying to find a blogging platform that suited my needs. I never liked any of them. So last week I was listening listening music on pandora and heard about squarespace. And checked it later.
It is GREAT and cheap. I signed up and I'm a paying user.
The problem I have with pain points is: they are usually already covered or are in a such niche market that are not viable.
- davidjnelson 14y agoThanks! What were your pain points, and how much do you happily pay?
- eduardordm 14y agoI don't know (that's my point about pain points being useless - nothing really bothered my on posterous or tumblr) Their themes are not so great. Their interface looks good but has glitches. The way they built their navigation system is awesome, but nothing that really stands out. This is very subjective. The vast majority of things people buys have nothing to do with solving problems. What pain point do moleskine notebooks solve? None. There are a myriad of internet websites that sell the same thing: an idea, an illusion. And people will buy it, happily. That said, I think you shouldn't concentrate exclusively on solving problems but maybe trying to 'overthink' people and creating something they would pay for. If you really want to cover some pain point, realize that people are usually numb and do not realize that X could be solved with a service. Asking people about pain points is useless, you need to watch them working.
