Market size matters for sure, but I think the key is finding the intersection between a sizeable market opportunity and your unique skills/experience. AI like GPT-4 or Claude can help brainstorm ideas and validate demand. But ultimately, your passion and expertise in the niche will drive the business forward. Focus on an area you can excel in and deliver real value to customers.

Now you can ask all your questions about your business to ChatGPT or Claude.

No one will tell you the secret to success in the comments because it doesn't exist.

The most important thing is the size of the market and your qualifications. The market must be large to be able to make money on it, and your qualifications must cover the minimum requirements of the market.

@larusan_makeshwaranathan1 Niche down. You will sieve out competition if you do so.  For example, if you want to enter the fish market, you can decide to stick to "Cat Fish" market alone" and establish your authority there. People will know you are the go to person for Catfish.

Another example, in the clothing market, you can decide to niche down and be selling just "male singlets" . All kinds of brands of male singlets.... people know you do just that.

So, in a big market , narrow down to sub-sections of that market and you will be able to find a satisfactory answer for your proposed business.

Hope this helps ?

I think adding customizations or creating products with a specific theme could help you connect with customers. people love items that refflect teir personality.
