Enough is enough.

So many articles.

So many newsletters.

So many videos.

I’ve consumed it all and they all spout the same lines.

Find a niche, do some keyword research, magically make $8000 per month, make $10000, make millions!

Squwak, squawk, squawk.

There are a few important steps missing in there.

You need to create value for your customer. The quickest way to do that is to solve a problem.

Want to stand out in a crowded marketplace?

Innovate.

Innovation doesn’t have to be a ground-breaking invention. A simple tweak might be all that’s needed.

Here are 7 innovation strategies to get you started:

1. Improve Quality: Upgrade the quality of materials, components, or the manufacturing process to make the product more durable, efficient, or prettier.

2. Add Features: Introduce new features or functionalities that address customer needs or desires, making the product more versatile or user-friendly.

3. Customize: Offer customization options to allow customers to tailor the product to their specific preference or requirements.

4. Upgrade Technology: Incorporate the latest technology or innovation to enhance the performance, efficiency, or capabilities of the product.

5. Enhance Design: Redesign the product to improve its appearance, ergonomics, or usability, making it more attractive or intuitive for customers.

6. Expand Compatibility: Increase compatibility with other products or systems to widen its usage and appeal to a broader audience. This one might take a little bit of tech skill. Or a Fiverr freelancer.

7. Provide Better Support: Offer exceptional customer service, warranties, or support services to build trust and loyalty among customers.

Nothing ground-breaking, almost common sense.

As Elon Musk commands, “be useful.”

Solopreneurs, go be useful!
