5 product ideas people are actually waiting for
Hi, I'm Katt.
Every 2 weeks I look for untapped keywords with that are perfect product ideas.
The untapped keyword criteria:
- It needs to be a keyword you can build a digital product around
- It needs a significant volume (monthly search volume of >500)
- It needs to have low competition (keyword difficulty <20)
- It needs to have enough relevant related keywords
If the untapped keyword fits all those criteria, it means that if you build a good product around the keyword and get some backlinks (max 20), you will:
- Be able to rank in the top 10 on google
- Get customers on auto-pilot

I have an idea in mind related to this, I am thinking to build a website where people can list the different problems they have in their industry or life so apps/platforms devs can use it as a source of problems to be solved. The people can vote if they also are experiencing the same problem and this will help the builders to somehow validate that indeed there is a problem.
What do you think about this? Many devs first find the solution and then they try to look for a problem that fits. I already have in mind many features for the tool.
Do you think this would be useful to find problems to be solved?
Sounds like a good idea. Where would you get the users to describe their problems and how do you convince them to share it on your platform though?
Seems like a big challenge for this to be able to work ever.
Well, the tool could work also to find the solution to your problem if it already exists. Example, somebody lists a problem and other people comment there that there is already a solution for the problem, this means that devs can use it also to promote their tool/services.
Also I would like to add a feature where the tool is able to recognize if a problem or similar problem has already been listed so the dashboard is not full of repetitive issues.
I still have to work more on the idea, just trying to get some feedback from the community
I think your biggest hurdle will be getting people onto the platform. Probably helps to have some initial "content" on there when launching.
yeah, I was thinking on that option too. Thanks for your feedback.
May I add don't try and create tools for developers as they tend to be very stingy and dont like to pay. Thats what we found with fabform.io our form backend service.
Very well done. Thanks for this!
