I know that one of the biggest problems when it comes to online websites and business in general is ideas.  More importantly good ideas.  Well the only way that you can come up with good ideas is to start with simply coming up with ideas.  From there you can go through them and filter out what you think are the good ones and then maybe talk to some people that you trust to come up with the really good ones.

But how do you come up with the ideas to start with?

One of the ways that I come up with them is when I am searching for something online and no matter how far back I go in the SERPs I can’t find what I am looking for.  There is an opportunity to fill a gap in the potential market. 

Another good way is evaluating a service that you are currently using.  Are there things in that service that is not serving all of your needs or simply don’t work very well, there may be a venue for you to improve on the service by making your own.  However, this is much harder to do in smaller niches since you are going to have to work in a market that already has a foothold, and sometimes if they see you taking away users they will adapt by improving.

And finally talk to your friends about what they look for online and especially ask them what they can’t find.  Probe them because sometimes you will find that once they can’t find something they completely forget about it.  This sometimes is a better source since markets that are not necessarily technical or web based are much more easily infiltrated since they tend not to be saturated.

Don’t forget to let me what you think by commenting, I look forward to hearing about the ways that you come up with ideas.
