How to Pick a Winning Product Topic
Your best topic is always a subject you have passion, for
knowledge about and experience with. Your personal life
experiences have taught you a unique set of lessons. Determine
what you know that others might find valuable.
Of course, you can make a 3 Page Site that focuses on almost
any subject you want but you will have a better chance of
success, especially if this is your first site, if you choose a
subject you have some experience with. Plus it makes the process
much more fun.
Start by brainstorming a list of topics. Get a pad and pen.
What are you passionate about? Write it down. What do you love
to talk about? What do you read about? What specialized
knowledge do you have from your job? Any hobbies? Start writing.
Get everything down...don't censure anything, just write it down.
List the 10 biggest problems you can think of in your home,
workplace or community. What do you enjoy doing with your spare
time?
Ask your friends and family what they think you're good at and
knowledgeable about. You might be surprised at the things they
see that you've missed.
Spend a solid thirty minutes on this brainstorming session. At
first the ideas will come quickly. But then, after you've
already written down the obvious ones, you'll start to have to
really think about it. This is when the real power of this
exercise happens.
You see, the subconscious mind is a funny thing. It takes a
constant demand from your conscious mind to get its attention.
But once you do, your subconscious will take up the effort for
you and begin to supply answers to your question as it comes up
with them.
By spending a full thirty minutes intensely focused on
brainstorming topics for your 3 Page Site you communicate this
demand to your subconscious mind. For the next week your
subconscious mind will provide very creative topics for you in a
sporadic and seemingly random way. You'll be driving to work,
taking a shower or eating dinner and suddenly you'll get a great
idea for a 3 Page Site topic.
This technique can be used for almost any question or dilemma.
Just remember the power is in the results your subconscious mind
produces in the days after doing the exercise. And that won't
happen if you don't focus intensely on brainstorming topics for
a full 30 minutes. It takes this long to be sure your
subconscious mind gets your message.
