How to find problems to solve?

I have learnt here on IH that you don't have to pursuit ideas but problems, where are you guys used to talk with your persona? What channel or techniques do you use?

    I agree with @segmond: look for challenges you're facing. What are the problems you solve inefficiently or with work-arounds?

    When you find such a problem, Google it and see if other people have similar problems. Go to forums and FB groups and see what people are struggling with related to your idea.

    Alternative approach: find something you're interested in (a hobby). Write down problems you can find around it. If you can't think of anything start studying discussion groups and forums. This will give a sign if there is a potential demand for your idea.

    is your life perfect? of course not, look at your life and find things that you dislike/wish was different. there's your problem, create a solution, sell.

      Thanks for your answer!

      I already did that, but my results were not satisfying, I'm looking now for a new public to work, different from my persona, preferably a bigger public. There are a lot of problems that I can't see, I'm searching for ways to realize them.

    There's some great and helpful links on the right hand side of the Ideas and Validation group (when viewing on desktop).
