Hi all! Over the past 3 years, I have launched more than 22 products and only a few of them have been successful.

My main mistake was having the wrong ideas. I came up with ideas for products that didn’t exist yet and thought that someone would need it. But it was not so.

It was only when I changed my approach to finding ideas and started looking for people's pain points and solutions for them that I was able to launch successful products.

In Painkiller Ideas, I collected 50 ideas that were validated by searching for mentions of the problem, this is what people really need.

I love the idea. Why exactly 50?

Thanks! 50 to start with, then there will be 3-5 new ideas every week.

Would be nice to have an example page showing what you get. Not sure the level of detail an idea has, or whether they're simply descriptions of pain points, or whether they come with context around who submitted the idea or the workflow involed (e.g. An idea solving a pain point around health care data entry could land quite differently if submitted by a patient vs a doctor vs a nurse vs an insurer vs a medicare worker). Details like that could also make it more convincing that the idea actually solves the pain point given.

I was also expecting an idea-submission form somewhere so that I could contribute in hopes that any pain points I might have might someday be relieved. Might be a lot of work to curate though...
