One of the simplest ways to find business ideas is to look at what already works. Go to Etsy and browse the best-selling items in different categories — handmade jewelry, digital planners, pet accessories, wall prints.
Now ask yourself:
- Could this be mass-produced or automated?
- Could it be improved — better materials, faster shipping, easier customization?
- Could ordering be made simpler or more scalable off Etsy?
Many successful founders started by taking something that worked on Etsy and building a more polished, scalable version — turning small crafts into real businesses.
