Today’s big lessons covered finding category and market ideas. The goal was to record seven niche ideas worthy of further research. The idea generators were ebay pulse, google trends, google groups, technorati popular blogs, and yahoo answers.

I spent about 45 minutes with the wife going through the categories and we came up with seven ideas:

1. Eames furniture
2. Stuffed bear outfits
3. Custom photo albums
4. Beading
5. Spaghetti squash
6. Answers for embarrassing medical questions
7. Asset protection

I gather the next step will be letting the market tell us if it is interested. Overall, Ed’s doing a good job with the podcasts and videos. I’m a visual learner myself and it’s helpful to watch and listen. Video is a great tool.
