How to choose
Where I'd start -
- Pick a service you can deliver yourself at first. That keeps quality high and costs low.
- Start in one area where you can reach customers on foot or through local groups.
- Check repeat use. A service people buy every week is easier to grow than a one-time purchase.
- Use the free validation kit on each idea page to test pricing with real customers.
