I'm currently working with 2 (slightly awkward but competent) senior developers. They want to build something that generates profit. Let's keep it simple.<p>They asked me to give them ideas what to build. I don't know how to logically approach the research.<p>Preferably based on (scientific) research, how would you start?
Here's how you do the research, summarized from Amy Hoy's sales safari of 30x500 fame<p>You find a community of people you can talk to. Often these are people you're already a member of.<p>Then you talk to this community. You observe, you engage.<p>As you observe and engage, you listen to their problems, their pain. You take notes.<p>Solving any one instance of that pain is a potential business.<p>Good luck.
