I have time lots of it and I am trying to learn different stuff. My problem is I rarely have "new cool original project" idea, which is bad for me, because as a freelancer personal reputation goes long way.
I recently redesigned my website http://www.mohitranka.com http://www.mohitranka.com, and looking to build a text analytics api side project (yes, I know not original) http://analytex.net http://analytex.net.
How do I generate "original and interesting" ideas, worth showcasing/talking about?
- swanson 13y agoA text analytics API sounds interesting to me - even if it isn't the first one. Start with the basics and build from there, describe the existing solutions and why they aren't appropriate for your needs, show some of the open source libraries that are out there.
- gpcz 13y agoIf you're learning things and you either run into a snag that you personally overcome or encounter a poorly-documented/explained subject, you could write a tutorial about it. It doesn't require finding an innovative business idea and it a) shows potential employers that you know a skill, b) shows potential employers that you know how to write, and c) gets you emails asking for help that may lead to consulting work if you play your cards right.
