10 side projects ideas up for grabs
-
Connecting side project founders with sales/marketing people
- Problem: One of the major problem indie makers/ solopreneur face is difficulty in the marketing of their products due to lack of knowledge, experience and due to this a lot of good projects never take off. so building a platform that will connect these two parties either by -> revenue share, part-time job or even co-founding it together.
-
Freelancing marketplace only for students
- Problem: Current marketplaces like Fiverr/Upwork are filled with professionals having a ton of experience and they generally bag all the tasks. So for students looking for some part-time jobs find it very difficult to compete with them.
So building a platform where only students get accepted, thus providing them with extra cash + helps them build some credibility.

Content repurposing and distribution tool
- Problem: Repurposing content involves - creating various tweets snippets, scheduling them using Buffer or other tools, creating infographics, creating slides to push it to Slideshare, creating pins, writing quora answers, creating social media content like Facebook, Instagram posts/stories requires a lot of effort. It would be great to build a platform that will generate tweets, help with infographic development, social media posts and also help to distribute the same from the platform.

This looks great.
Good job on the UI/UX part. Nailed it.
#2 Freelancing marketplace for students
How is different than Fiverr or Upwork?
Fiverr/Upwork is filled with professionals having lot of experience and they generally bag all of the tasks.
For students out there, looking for some part-time cash and at the same time build some credibilty it becomes difficult for them to get jobs.
So the idea - is to build a freelancing platform where only students will get accepted on - No professionals.
Why would clients hire students to build their application?
I'd say #4 doesn't really need to be AI-based? A decent domain name generator could be built without the use of AI. Although finding good metrics on keywords and combining the two based on a particular industry would be really cool!
