Any good niches or untapped ones to look at?

Any good niches or untapped ones to look at?

I have a few in my mind but I gotta keep them on lock for now because I intend to capitalize on them. I would love to see some cats link up in this thread and start something like @cook and @Brooklynzson did with The Coli. The key to finding a niche is finding a want or something that's currently missing. If you thought about that for at least 2 hours a day while you're out and about I can almost guarantee you'll have a great business idea in less than a week. Women, food and sports occupy most of our thoughts but if you focused on what the market is currently missing or something that can be improved, you would come up with something real good. After that the most important part is acting on it and believing you can do it.

I agree with this, some of us should definitely link up. There's money to be made. Let's get it!

no doubt kid, just keep grinding, and remember you are going to lose people on your journey, it may not make sense now, but just keep pushing.

Experiencing this now (losing people on the journey) and for the life of me, I don't understand it bruh. Glad it's not just me.

Damn, you're right, but it's like if you make it to the other side (of success), how can you look at those who hated on you with a straight face like they were down for the cause? (Even the closest people)

they will have to live with that, not necessarily you.....people slept on Daymond John, I'm sure people slept on Richard Branson...people prob thought the due who made Starbucks was crazy.....but these people kept grinding no matter the circumstances......that's why I think becoming a business owner is one of the greatest things you can do.....and a part of life is losing and gaining people.....you lose friends now, but find friends who are trying to achieve the same goals that you are....

This is true, especially that last statement. I never thought of it like that, lose friends now but gain like minded people. Deep

We can't let this thread die. it's February 1st, are they any people that want to start a business or raise capital to expand on an idea in 2016?

 

[satireprod]

Any app makers/tech heads that are planning to make moves this year. I got a few ideas, want to get with some people that are good at that. @Blackthoughts You already know I got to do my research but I want to chop it up with you and see if we can collaborate on something down the road, especially since you got a great mind for marketing.

 

[satireprod]

Yeah, once you figure out your business, Fiverr is definitely a place you'll want to spend time at. There are people who produce a lot of crap on there, but once you find someone who does great work, it can be a game changer.

Have you used Fiverr for marketing before?
