00:00:00
okay you're in for a treat today I'm
00:00:02
going to share my entire process all the
00:00:05
AI tools I use to come up with startup
00:00:08
ideas from Reddit how to find gold
00:00:11
within Reddit I don't know why more
00:00:14
people aren't doing this uh I've I've
00:00:16
come up with startup ideas from Reddit
00:00:19
that have built me multi-million dollar
00:00:22
businesses uh there's just so many
00:00:24
validated ideas out there and it's it's
00:00:29
the place I go to when I'm looking for a
00:00:31
startup idea but I'm really looking for
00:00:34
a validated startup idea I'm looking for
00:00:36
an idea that I know that with a good
00:00:39
chance if I go and build this people
00:00:42
will resonate with
00:00:46
it
00:00:48
[Music]
00:00:53
start so uh without further Ado I'm
00:00:56
going to share exactly how to find new
00:00:59
ideas are validated how to find gold uh
00:01:02
the you know the four-step process I use
00:01:04
and if you stick around to the end I'll
00:01:07
also show you how to create content
00:01:08
people will love because it's it's not
00:01:10
about just building a product anymore
00:01:13
you need to attract an audience you need
00:01:14
to build a community and content is so
00:01:18
key with that so I'll show you how I use
00:01:21
Reddit to actually come up with content
00:01:24
ideas so I'll just go ahead and and
00:01:28
share my screen so so the first thing I
00:01:31
do is I use a tool called Gummy Search
00:01:34
and it's free to sign up they also have
00:01:36
a paid plan I'm using the paid plan and
00:01:40
where I go is I go to the trending
00:01:42
section within Gummy Search now I could
00:01:46
see here are the top subreddits sorted
00:01:48
by largest sorted by active sorted by
00:01:53
growing and what I'm generally looking
00:01:56
at is how fast is this thing growing
00:01:58
daily weekly monthly yearly um so I can
00:02:02
see you know Galaxy Ring the rich
00:02:06
subreddit you know India Sports so I get
00:02:08
a good sense of it but the mistake
00:02:11
people uh make here is they they focus
00:02:15
just on these big subreddits what I like
00:02:17
to do is actually go to the 10,000 to
00:02:21
100,000 member
00:02:23
subreddits these aren't the massive
00:02:25
subreddits but they're the ones that
00:02:28
there's you know it answers the why now
00:02:30
question why should I go and build
00:02:32
something for this community well it's
00:02:34
generally a newer Community uh it's
00:02:36
trending it's in people's minds it's in
00:02:38
the Zeitgeist so as you can see here
00:02:42
it's starting to sort by 10 to 100 th um
00:02:48
and I just you know I'll just scroll it
00:02:50
I'll just scroll it you know and just
00:02:52
you know see what I find interesting and
00:02:55
I'll ask myself okay autistic with ADHD
00:02:58
is there something here do I do I have
00:03:00
an unfair advantage in that um in that
00:03:04
you know subreddit maybe I know someone
00:03:07
who who suffers or am someone who
00:03:09
suffers from that from that and I can go
00:03:11
and build something for them um so I
00:03:14
just go and I I start looking and
00:03:17
scrolling and I ask myself what you know
00:03:19
is this interesting uh do I have an
00:03:22
ability to create something here and I
00:03:25
just start taking notes you know pull
00:03:27
out a notebook pull out a Google doc and
00:03:29
just say saying what's you know are
00:03:31
there any is there anything here that's
00:03:33
really interesting to me you can also
00:03:36
change the time frame so you can say I
00:03:38
only want the top you know growing
00:03:40
subreddits that uh are growing a lot
00:03:44
daily um and sometimes you get some
00:03:47
interesting uh
00:03:49
interesting responses to that that you
00:03:52
wouldn't otherwise get in sort of the
00:03:53
monthly or or or the or the larger one
00:03:56
so um I I I tend to play around with
00:03:59
these the da
00:04:00
there's
00:04:01
weekly and there's
00:04:04
monthly so you know if you're looking
00:04:06
for a niche I would check something like
00:04:09
gummy search like this every few weeks
00:04:12
to see what's new and they also have a
00:04:15
curated uh you know curated section
00:04:18
where you can go in and you can say Okay

00:04:22
subreddits for software
00:04:25
Engineers um or software developers and
00:04:27
you can go and and add that to your
00:04:29
audience and this is something I look at
00:04:31
too but I'm I'm more interested in
00:04:34
seeing what's growing and why is it
00:04:37
growing because those again those are
00:04:39
the opportunities and you know the 10 to
00:04:41
100,000 is is the range uh where where
00:04:44
you want to look at so that's step one
00:04:46
go and see what's trending within within
00:04:49
Reddit the next step is once you've
00:04:52
picked uh a subreddit that you think's
00:04:54
interesting it's about how do you find
00:04:56
the problems and potentially solutions
00:04:59
to that subreddit so that's going to
00:05:01
help give you I mean you need to come up
00:05:03
with a startup idea right because you're
00:05:04
going to charge money for it um and uh
00:05:07

00:05:09
start there SAS businesses that you can
00:05:11

00:05:20
and solution and the beauty is Gummy
00:05:23
Search allows you to find that pretty
00:05:25
easily so let's go pick a
00:05:30
uh a subreddit that we think is
00:05:31

00:05:33
100,000 let's say in the
00:05:36

00:16:49
agency would look like that actually
00:16:51
cared about copy and conversion and
00:16:55
getting people to click and get you cash
00:16:58
and basically this mix between
00:17:00
copywriter and marketer and designer and
00:17:02
I just like I mean took a you know made
00:17:05
a framer website and wire framed out
00:17:07
what this would look like based on um
00:17:11
the insights that I gathered from Reddit
00:17:14
and I just put it up so I wire framed it
00:17:16
up put it up in a few hours on framer
00:17:19
and uh just started posting about it so
00:17:23
this is that's my process to find ideas
00:17:26
it's just you know Finding trending
00:17:28
subreddit
00:17:29
see what's validated see what their
00:17:30
problems are see what their Solutions
00:17:32
are uh start writing this down
00:17:34
wireframing it out come up with a catchy
00:17:36
name so when I'm when you go through all
00:17:40
these subreddits sometimes what you can
00:17:42
do is actually you can create a company
00:17:43
with the same name as the subreddit um
00:17:46
so it's not just about coming up with a
00:17:49
cat you know a a validated you know
00:17:52
catchy startup idea it's about what's a
00:17:54
validated catchy name that's going to
00:17:56
resonate with people as you can see here
00:17:58
design science
00:17:59
in.com it's a new category it's
00:18:01
different and I I got this Insight you
00:18:04
know when some you people were like you
00:18:07
know I wish a designer was more like a
00:18:08
scientist less art more science so
00:18:11
you're going to get these insights from
00:18:12
just going through this um and last but
00:18:15
not least I'll be true to my word how to
00:18:17
create content people will love well
00:18:20
here I use Gummy Search what I do here
00:18:23
is let's go back to
00:18:29
the dog food
00:18:31
here go to top content and you just look
00:18:34
at what's the best performing content
00:18:37
right you're going to get again the
00:18:38
common patterns you're going to get the
00:18:40
common patterns and you see what's
00:18:43
working and you can iterate from there
00:18:45
you see the types of formats that work
00:18:48
is it you know long stories is it memes
00:18:50
like what does this audience care about
00:18:52
what does this community care about um
00:18:55
you can see loss of beloved pet seeking
00:18:57
attention
00:18:59
today I saved a dog's life like stories
00:19:02
like this so again you go through this
00:19:04
and the same process that you come up
00:19:06
with startup ideas you come up with
00:19:07
content ideas through here it works
00:19:10
absolutely brilliantly and you can even
00:19:12
ask questions and you can do this with
00:19:14
you know uh solution requests and pain
00:19:16
and anger on Gummy Search too but you
00:19:18
can also ask it a question about top
00:19:20
content in this audience do they love
00:19:24
memes and again just really fun to play
00:19:27
with you you'll learn stuff so here you
00:19:31
can see that you know comments like
00:19:33
snuggle puddle a literal dog pile you
00:19:36
know it's it's a mem like uh Community
00:19:39
it's not like people are saying they
00:19:40
love memes but uh you again you start
00:19:42
asking a question I use Gummy Search and
00:19:46
products like this is kind of like an
00:19:47
entrepreneurial assistant it's your
00:19:50
co-founder except you don't have to pay
00:19:52
them or you have to pay for Gummy Search
00:19:54
if you want access to this um but you
00:19:57
don't you know you don't have to pay
00:19:59
them a salary you don't have to give
00:20:00
them Equity so you just you know ask
00:20:02
them questions and it'll it'll connect
00:20:06
dots it within your brain so there you
00:20:08
have it I hope this was uh interesting
00:20:11
to you to me what I love so much about
00:20:16
using Reddit and social YouTube and Tik
00:20:19
Tok to come up with startup ideas is
00:20:21
it's like you're teleporting to
00:20:23
different
00:20:24
communities and your job is to just
00:20:27
observe and
00:20:29
write and come up with ideas that is are
00:20:32
going to resonate with them and I've
00:20:34
just I've seen this you know work time
00:20:36
and time again where uh like design
00:20:38
scientist.com is you know it's a seven
00:20:40
figure business from this from from this
00:20:43
uh methodology it's it's it's doable um
00:20:48
