If you do not know what to do, make a startup for startups.

If you're thinking about making a profitable online project, but you're stuck for ideas, here's a suggestion: create a startup for other startups. Why? Easy idea hunt: Don't stress about coming up with a groundbreaking concept. Just pick any existing startup tool and clone it. You don't even need to make it better. Friendly crowd: The startup community is super welcoming. You'll make friends here fast. Innovation cravers: Startups are always on the lookout for new tools to boost their marketing efforts or save time. They're ready to discover and invest in new solutions (e.g. yours). Easy to market: Tell about making your startup and attract other startup founders (aka build in public). Or just do cold outreach — it works too. I often check new tools which are offered to me by strangers. Niche Hangouts: There are plenty of niche communities within the startup world, like our beloved Product Hunt, where you can find potential clients. Charge more: With startup clients, you can charge more. Just think, 50 clients at $100 per month could mean a solid $5,000 in monthly revenue. $100 is nothing for a startup, even outside of the US. But you never make, for example, a teacher pay you this amount. I used this approach back in 2018 when I started my own website builder. I made it tailored for startup owners only. Along the way, I met founders of other website builders targeting different groups like teachers, offline businesses, handymen etc. They faced more challenges and made way less money.
