Find A Small Problem And Build A Simple Solution.

This may sound naive but has anyone got any advice or links to advice on the best way to find real problems to solve, big or small. Preferably small, though because with the big ones its often harder to tell whether they are something that people really want. I'm looking for a way of finding the kinds of things where its relatively easy to tell whether they have a good chance of making some money right now. Its a tall order,I know but you never know what people know until you ask.

Find a big problem, identify a basis for its vector space, and build that basis.<p>My opinion is that all "small problems with simple solutions" that have become successful were actually cases of big problems masquerading as small ones.

I guess,finding a problem to solve is in itself sort of a talent.

This might be a great article and I wouldn't even know it. I can't get past the first few sentences because it is thoroughly riddled with typos, missing capitalizations, and other careless errors that would've been fixed if this post wasn't written free-thought and was re-read before publishing.<p>Try presenting yourself professionally online. Often times what you say is just as important as how you say it.

This hit home for me. Previously we had identified a problem, but instead of just getting out there and getting started with the quickest working solution, we spent ages building a fully comprehensive service that did it all and more. The outcome: we wasted resources building things we didnt need and werent used, while our competitors sailed off into the sunset.
