As any Venture Capitalist can tell you, no one can tell beforehand if something will work. They invest in many start-ups, and only a few become runaway successes. It’s their job to pick winning new ideas, they have a lot of money riding on it, and even they can not predict what will be successful.
To give you one example, the Practice Drawing This website offers variable 3D models designed for drawing reference. It is the only resource in the world of its kind and, therefore, by definition, the very best out there. There is simply no competition for it.
When others are already doing the same thing, the only way you can compete is by doing more for less: offer more, and for less money.
As is often the case, many things Apple did are great examples. When the computer industry focused on making more powerful computers for less money, Apple said, “Well, no, let’s make more beautiful computers instead. ” And it could charge more because no one else was doing it. The regular computer builders must have thought Apple was insane.
Eight billion people on this planet, and it always boggles my mind that there are still things we can do that no one has done before. It's not easy, but it is still possible! New technology often offers new possibilities.
A caveat; be aware that insiders will tell you that’s not how it is done in the industry. To them, you are doing the same thing but just doing it wrong, and they won’t see it as something new.
And they are usually right! Most new ideas are not good ideas. But if you show people an actual, real, live working thing, they should immediately get it.
You’re creative! Try something no one else has done before! The trick is to follow your curiosity. How would you, for example, program a variable 3D model for drawing reference? You can do that in an art context, also. There are so many things no one is trying.
For example, Webtoons is a popular way of sharing episodic vertical comics. But no one is trying that with newsletters! Substack would be perfect for that, and better for monetization. I haven't seen anyone try that yet, because everyone thinks Webtoons is the only proper channel.
There are many more ideas like that. Will they work? Most won't. But the big, huge, runaway successes always start with someone doing something no one else has tried yet.
There are so many things people are not doing because no one has done them before and shown that they are worth doing.
Yours sincerely,
