How to Find a Profitable Idea for Your Business?

Hello everyone,

When I started building my first digital product, I was stuck at Step 1: What should I create?

Here’s what I didn’t realize: Your best product idea is often hiding in plain sight.

Let me walk you through my 3-step formula for finding your first profitable idea in just 30 minutes:

Step 1: Solve a Real Problem 📢

Think about this: People don’t buy products—they buy solutions to their problems.

Ask yourself:

  • What questions do people always ask you for advice on?

  • What challenges have you personally overcome?

    You can also use this tool - Answer the Public to find out the answers from the internet.

For example:

  • If you’ve mastered budgeting, create a Budgeting Template or a guide on Saving $1,000 Fast.

  • If you’re great at productivity, design a Time-Blocking Planner or a checklist for busy professionals.

Step 2: Check if People Want It (Validation) 📊

Before creating anything, make sure there’s demand:

This step saves you time and ensures your product has an eager audience.

Step 3: Start Simple (Don’t Overthink!) 😎

Your first product doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, simple sells best:

  • A one-page template.

  • A short e-book or guide.

  • A checklist or planner.

The goal is to create something quickly that solves a specific problem—and grow from there.

Does This Even Work? 🤔

Absolutely. Some of the highest-earning creators I know started with something as simple as a template or a mini-guide.
