Intro
This video introduces a method for finding validated startup ideas from Reddit. The speaker emphasizes the importance of finding ideas that resonate with a specific community and building a product that solves their problems.
Step 1: Use Gummy Search to find trending subreddits
The first step involves using Gummy Search, an AI-powered tool, to identify trending subreddits. The speaker recommends focusing on subreddits with 10,000 to 100,000 members, as these are often newer communities with a strong sense of community and a growing audience. The speaker suggests looking at the "growing" section of Gummy Search to find subreddits that are experiencing rapid growth.
Step 2: Analyze subreddit for problems & solutions
Once a promising subreddit is identified, the next step is to analyze it for common problems and potential solutions. Gummy Search provides tools for analyzing subreddit content, including pain and anger, advice requests, and solution requests. By analyzing these categories, the speaker can identify common themes and pain points within the community.
Step 3: Identify creators in the niche
The third step involves identifying creators in the niche. The speaker uses Perplexity.ai, a free AI tool, to generate a list of popular influencers on YouTube related to the chosen subreddit. By analyzing the content of these creators, the speaker can gain further insights into the community's needs and preferences.
Step 4: Wireframe your solution
The final step involves wireframing a solution based on the insights gathered from Reddit and creators. The speaker uses Framer, a web design tool, to create a basic prototype of the proposed product or service. This step helps to visualize the solution and refine the idea before moving forward with development.
Bonus: Creating content that resonates
The bonus section focuses on creating content that resonates with the target audience. The speaker recommends using Gummy Search's "top content" feature to identify the types of content that are performing well within the chosen subreddit. By analyzing the format, style, and topics of successful content, the speaker can create content that is more likely to engage the audience.
