Paste it O.P.

I think the discussion has boiled down to building a successful product without having to solve a problem.It’s possible to have success without out solving a problem.

Go get em’ -put your thinking caps on.

Problem solving is pretentious? Of course your solution needs to make money, but identifying a real problem is the first step.

Consumer products are a whole different ball game. Yeah, most of them don’t solve problems, but it’s like Hollywood. There are a lot of actors, but only a few on the level of Tom Cruise or George Clooney (who by the way, has said he got better roles once he started focusing on solving the director’s problem rather than just trying to get a gig). The big stars are the 1%; everyone else is in the 99% of actors trying to scratch out a living.

I don’t disagree with your advice, but just want to point out that the first two were already things known to attract users. Google and Facebook just out-executed the incumbents (and that’s really fucking hard). The third example is of a popular game, but that’s survivorship bias. Most games fail. Angry Birds was something like the 50th game created by that studio.

Which is fine, but you have to have the stomach and cash flow while you create the first 49 so-so games.

– Seek partnership with a hitter who has been there done that.

– Don’t talk to 100 people / Take 100 more NEW action steps

– I guarantee you there are methods you have not considered

– maybe your product is the “free” add on from bigger ticket item / partnership

– maybe it’s bolted on to a subscription offer/ partnership

– maybe it’s unique financing via allotment process if applicable to military personal

– maybe – well no maybe about it / I’m sure that my advise is meaningless seeing as I have no idea what this is

– offer split to a rock star , if no interest / pull the plug because your service does not have a true advantage.

Good luck

You have to be creative.That’s why most startups are failing.

Why didn’t you come up with Snapchat ? Observe life. Observe people and their behaviors. Observe the core of a human.

Google = speed =less wasted time =convenient

Facebook= social=bragging=eves dropping

Flappy Bird = Quick -Easy-aggravating – going to win this game somehow product.

Op here. I love this advice. It’s a subtle distinction. But it’s true. Solving a problem only works as a thesis if it’s truly a problem–painkiller vs vitamin. But want to use–well that’s the seductiveness of great design and product. That said those things are more lightning in a bottle–how do you go about finding that as a bus
