Market-First Approach for Start-Ups
Great advise for creating a product (webapp) on the web, which is supposed to make money:
Go with the market-first approach (as opposed to idea-first approach). If you are confident that you will be able to make a good enough product/prototype, I suggest taking the following approach:
- Find an industry (ideally, an old fashioned one) where people are making money
- Find the single differentiator which will put your app apart in the already established industry (read or research what pain points are still not addressed by top 3 solutions)
- Make a web app, market it, refine it based on feedback, monetize the app
- Slowly incorporate all standard features expected out of a solution in that industry so you can shoot to be a market leader
