I've been trying to do that. Well, except software for women, I'm a guy who's quite clueless in that area :)

I just can't find small problems that...

1. people are willing to pay for, and

2. I can reach out to said people and they're open to trying it out

For example - I was thinking of helping content creators with content repurposing. So I met up with a guy who runs a podcast, and I told him how I could build a tool that repurposes his podcast episodes to LinkedIn posts. He said it's an interesting idea, but not something that he'd want to try out anytime soon. He's got more important things to do, and it made perfect sense.

Yes! People have recommended me to read it.

I think I followed the approach the author recommended, unless I'm mistaken. I didn't build anything before I had that initial conversation with the potential customer. And the fact that he didn't say "yes please help me" made me realize the solution wouldn't be that useful.

In a way, I'm happy I realized it early on. It's just that I can't think of anything better at the moment ^_^
