Episode notes

Stop guessing what can sell to make money online and start researching what people are already buying!

Bad product-market fit is one of the biggest reasons businesses fail.

Before you spend months creating a product, launching a digital business, or opening an online shop, learn how to validate your ideas with real market research.

In this episode of the Hexotica podcast, I'll show you 5 practical ways to research what can sell to make money online, so you can build a creative business around REAL customer demand instead of guesswork.

You'll learn how to:

🪄 Interview potential customers to discover what they want, what problems they need solved, and what they're willing to pay for.

🪄 Research competitors, bestseller lists, customer reviews, and keyword search demand to discover products and ideas with evidence of existing demand.

🪄 Test whether people will actually buy your product BEFORE investing your time and money into creating it.

If you're a creative entrepreneur, digital product creator, handmade seller, or unconventional business owner, market research doesn't have to be boring! It's a practical skill that helps you make smarter business decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and discover opportunities to make money online.

And if you're a neurodivergent or ADHD entrepreneur with a million brilliant ideas, remember this: being brilliant at coming up with ideas isn't the same as building a business that SELLS.

Research FIRST, create second!
