    100 Little Ideas

    Here’s a list of 100 little but important ideas on how our world works.

    • Pareto Principle: 80% of outcomes are driven by 20% of events.
    • Fredkin’s Paradox: The more equal the options, the harder the decision.
    • Skill Compensation: People who are good at one thing tend to be poor at another.
    • Boomerang Effect: Persuading someone to do one thing can make them do the opposite.
    • Normalcy Bias: Underestimating the odds of disaster by assuming things will keep functioning the way they’ve always functioned.



    🌟 Founder of the Week

    Vikram Aditya

    “Just joined Trends.vc Masterminds. I teach fundraising and storytelling. Looking forward to progressing together.“


    What’s your most important habit?
    Waking up early, reading and writing. This helps me stay sharp.


    What are you reading right now?
    Obviously Awesome by April Dunford. It seems that I found the right tech, messaging and market. Finding the right positioning is our next priority.


    What product are you obsessively using right now?
    Superhuman for emails. Apple Notes for organizing information. LinkedIn Sales Navigator for building partnerships.


    What are you bullish on?
    Artificial intelligence. It helps to build products that offer outcomes instead of software.


    What are you bearish on?
    API wrappers, general-purpose AI tools and third-party AI tools for big platforms.

    • API wrappers have a weak moat.
    • General AI tools try to be the jack-of-all-trades.
    • Big platforms will eat up small apps by adding similar AI features themselves.


    What’s your favorite Trends Report?
    NFTs and DAOs — they helped me launch DaoLens which evolved into Crunchit.ai.

    Niche AI Models — a great piece to learn more about AI.

    B2B SaaS — an evergreen report that I often revisit.


    Exclusive Deal: Vikram is offering Trends.vc readers 25% off his Maven Course. Message Vikram on LinkedIn after filling out this form, or drop an email to vikram@crunchit.ai with the subject line: “TRENDS DISCOUNT FOR COURSE”.

      Indie Games: Million-Dollar Games, Getting Early Players, Indie Accelerators

      “I could never say what I wanted to say in a song, with games I find it much easier.” — Jazz Mickle

      • How to piggyback on popular games?
      • How to build an engaged community?
      • How to get early feedback?

      • How can indie games tap into other forms of media?
      • How to build a moat?
      • How to find a great idea for your game?


      🔍 Problem

      We are tired of the same genres and game mechanics.

      We crave new experiences.


      💡 Solution

      Indie games experiment with game mechanics, stories, genres and themes.

      They take creative risks to offer unique game experiences.


      🏁 Players

      Indie Video Games

      • Among Us • Complete tasks and fight impostors on a spaceship
      • Minecraft • Build, explore and survive in a blocky world
      • Stardew Valley • Cultivate land, raise animals and mine resources in a rural village
      • Escape the Backrooms • Try to escape eerie rooms while avoiding hostile entities
      • Terraria • Explore, build, fight and survive in a 2D world
      • Undertale • Role-playing game where choices matter
      • Into the Breach • Control powerful mechs from the future to defeat an alien threat

      Indie Tabletop Games


      🛠 How to Build Indie Games


      🌱 How to Grow Indie Games


      💰 How to Monetize Indie Games

      • Sell early access to get early funding and feedback.
        • Last Epoch is releasing updates based on the early access feedback.
        • Heartbound uses early access to get feedback and fix bugs on the road to launch.
        • Inkbound offers early access to get feedback and add features suggested by players.
      • Sell digital goods such as soundtracks and artwork. Give players something they will enjoy outside of the game menu.


      🔮 Predictions


      😠 Haters

      “This is a hits-driven business with a low chance of success.”
      Most indie developers make games out of passion. If you want to make games to get rich, this may not be the right business for you.

      “Game concepts are copied a lot. It seems that there’s no strong moat.”
      In games, execution is everything. They have more moving parts than software. Experiment with story, characters, visuals and game mechanics to make a unique game.

      “You’re not indie if you’re working with a publisher.”
      A lot of great indie developers work with publishers to market their games. While keeping full creative control. You can go alone or sacrifice a part of your revenue for better visibility. It’s a matter of priorities.

      “Some of the indie game developers you shared have dozens of employees.”
      Some studios started as a one-person or a small team. Some got funding and hired fast. Some got acquired right after they made a successful game.

        Questions to Ask When Planning Your Week

        Planning your week can help you stay focused and avoid wasting time on tasks that don’t matter.

        Here are a few questions to help you plan your weeks better:

        • What do you want to accomplish this week?
        • Is your to-do list for this week realistic?
        • Do you have time for yourself?



        🌟 Founder of the Week

        Kevin C. Whelan

        “I love being a Trends Pro member. The Trends.vc team shares a concise yet in-depth summary of niche businesses that people are growing to huge success. They help you find hidden gems few people know about.“


        Kevin is building How to Sell Advice. He helps independent marketers create highly profitable businesses selling their expertise, not just their hands.


        What’s your most important habit?
        Morning exercise. It gives me mental clarity and energy which help me do my best work the rest of the day.


        What are you reading right now?
        Oversubscribed by Daniel Priestly. He shares a great formula for building interest and selling expertise.

        Another book by Daniel is Key Person of Influence. Highly recommended.


        What product or service do you wish existed?
        A service that would turn all of my training, writing, resources and consulting calls into:

        1. Quality content for different social media platforms.

        2. Searchable knowledge base of everything I know.


        What product are you obsessively using right now?
        Dropbox Dash. It is a search bar for all of your cloud storage, email, calendars and project management apps.  


        What are you bullish on?
        Hybrid consulting which combines personalized advice with access to additional resources, training and community—for a reasonable cost.

        I’ve been building my membership around 1:1 sessions, group calls, community and a content library. Self-learners with lower budgets can access content and community for self-paced learning.


        What are you bearish on?
        AI as a threat to people who sell their expertise. It is good at reproducing content. Original thinking is a unique blend of knowledge and nuance. Which AI lacks.


        What’s your favorite Trends Report?
        🤓 Consulting is the best one.


        What else?
        Thanks for highlighting me! Everything I do lives at https://kevin.me and gets distributed outward from there. If anyone is looking to dig deeper into any of these ideas, that’s where you’ll find them. 🙏


        Exclusive Deal: Kevin is offering Trends.vc readers 30% off annual Mindshare Learn plans for the first 20 people. It includes access to a library of training, templates, live workshops and private Slack community exclusively for marketing consultants. Use this link to claim.

          🌟 Founder of the Week

          Kevin Galang

          “I’m a big fan of the Trends Pro Community. It has been a major influence on me as a founder.“


          Kevin is building A Team Overseas. An agency that saves your time by matching you with executive assistants for your specific needs.


          What’s your most important habit?
          Having a quarterly planning doc where I define goals, projects, ideas and more.

          Every week, I go through the doc, review the week and plan the next.

          This helps me to stay focused and keep track of the main goals.


          What are you reading right now?
          In-N-Out Burger by Stacy Perman

          The book is about Harry Snyder, the founder of In-N-Out Burger. He inspired the way I run my company.

          He didn’t get distracted by the industry changes, focused on his work and made sure to do it the best.


          What product or service do you wish existed?
          An app to pick a board of directors that is made up of founders that I look up to. Such as Steve Jobs, Harry Snyder, Charlie Munger, Sam Walton, David Ogilvy and others.

          They would appear as AI models trained on their previous work and biographies. Which I can ask to guide me based on my weekly reviews, plans and priorities.


          What product are you obsessively using right now?
          Loom which saves me time recording and sharing videos.


          What are you bullish on?
          Business development. There are industries where the buyer decisions happen via relationships:

          – Healthcare/hospital software ($30B+ market)

          – Manufacturing software ($15B+ market)

          – Some startups buy from each other because the founders know each other


          What are you bearish on?
          Having emotional relationships with AI as strong as with humans.

          Many tools try to replace personal trainers, therapists, coaches and more. I don’t think they will win in the long run.


          What’s your favorite Trends Report?

          The Peak-End Rule

          We judge experiences based on the feelings we had at the peak and the end.

          Getting a tattoo hurts but people come back to get another one.

          This rule plays a role in customer experience and influences how customers feel about your brand.

          Here’s the science behind the peak-end rule:

          • We don’t remember more peaks: Identical peaks leave the same impression.
          • Recent peaks are more effective: We remember recent positive feelings better.
          • We remember long peaks: The longer the positive feeling, the better we remember it.

            Unlimited services let customers outsource tasks with a predictable price, scope and time frame.

            🛠 How to Build Unlimited Services


            🌱 How to Grow Unlimited Services


            💰 How to Monetize Unlimited Services


            🔮 Predictions

            • We’ll see niche B2B SaaS apps for running unlimited services. They will make it easier to manage clients and payments.
              • Breeew lets you manage tasks, chats and subscriptions.
              • Zendo helps you sell productized, recurring and custom services.
              • Queue lets you manage payments, feedback and clients in one platform.
              • Service Provider Pro is a client portal for productized digital marketing, SEO and content agencies.


            😠 Haters

            “Unlimited is misleading.”
            The “one request at a time” rule prevents scope creep. This makes it impossible to abuse the system.

            “How to deal with the most demanding clients when the cost of service outweighs revenue?”
            It may be that your services are not a good fit for the most demanding clients. Those who need a full-time professional may not be your ideal customer. There are clients who have small, occasional needs for your service. This is your gold mine.

            “Unlimited revisions lead to bad quality. Why bother if we can revise ‘one more time’?”
            Poor execution will lead to churn and bad word of mouth. Unlimited requests and revisions are part of your value proposition. But the deciding factor is the quality of your services.

                🛠 How to Build Mobile Apps


                🌱 How to Grow Mobile Apps

                • Use freemium to lower your customer acquisition costs. Let them try your app before buying.
                • Use gamification to boost engagement and retention.

                  • Habitica helps you build habits by creating characters and slaying monsters with other users.


                💰 How to Monetize Mobile Apps

                • Use ads to get paid for connecting advertisers with their target audiences.
                • Offer one-time payments to lower the decision fatigue.

                  • Roadtrippers is a road trip planning app with a 7-day trial.

                • We’ll see more alternative app stores. They will let you get apps unavailable in official app stores from Google, Apple and more.

                😠 Haters

                “App stores have high fees.”
                This is the price you pay for building on top of their platforms and getting access to their distribution engines.

                “Competition is harder than what you make it look like. 99% of users use 1% of apps.”
                You can build a valuable company without targeting a mass market. Focus on who you serve instead of how many people you serve. Meet the specific needs of your users to build a loyal, engaged audience.

                “Selling personal data is unethical.”
                Sell anonymized data that doesn’t link to people.

                  Creative Burnout

                  Creative burnout happens when you can’t produce any good creative work but you don’t know what’s wrong with you. This can lead to procrastination, stress and self-doubt.

                  This essay covers 10 signs that you have creative burnout, 5 ways to cure it and 5 ways to prevent it from happening again.

                  • Get support: Two heads are better than one
                  • Take a break: Not a short walk but a few days off
                  • Look at your past work: Don’t forget it’s a temporary state



                  🌟 Founder of the Week

                  Mike Giannakopoulos

                  “I recently joined Trends Pro and since then:
                  – I’ve experienced the sense of community through sharing and reading Daily Standups.
                  – Two founders have reached out to me to set up 1-1 calls.
                  – Got featured in Founder Finds.

                  There’s still more to explore, but it seems like the perfect place to share ideas, learn and challenge each other.”


                  Mike is building Team O’clock. A tool that makes it easier for remote teams to take notes, set priorities and share daily updates.


                  What’s your most important habit?
                  Updating my Getting Things Done (GTD) lists every morning. This helps me stay focused in my life and work.


                  What are you reading right now?
                  A sci-fi novel called The Dark Forest by Cixin Liu.

                  I’ve also finished Principles by Ray Dalio and Talk Like TED by Carmine Gallo.


                  What product or service do you wish existed?
                  A service suggesting what movie or show to watch next based on all my subscriptions (Netflix, Disney+, etc.), my current mood and local time.


                  What product are you obsessively using right now?
                  Midjourney. We’ve used it to build our latest feature in Team O’clock – “Agility Cards”. I also use it to make images for my blog.


                  What are you bearish on?
                  Modern UX/UI practices. Most apps and websites look the same. I wonder if we found the best way to maximize usability and apply it everywhere. 


                  What’s your favorite Trends Report?
                  📺 Faceless YouTube Channels

                  I didn’t know this was an option and it felt like a new dimension unlocked.This “aha” moment was my trigger to subscribe to Trends Pro.

                  Persuasive Design Principles

                  Product design is more than building beautiful interfaces.

                  It can influence human behavior and nurture leads into making desired decisions.

                  • Framing: Compare different options in an appealing way
                  • Scarcity: People act faster when things are in short supply
                  • Social Proof: People want to know they’re not the only ones using your product

                      • Digits lets you add passwordless authentication for $39.


                    😠 Haters

                    “WordPress is saturated.”
                    WordPress has ~60,000 plugins for 810,000,000 websites. Shopify App Store has 8,000 apps for 1,750,000 merchants. Chrome Web Store has ~138,000 extensions for 2,000,000,000 users. There’s room for you too.

                    “WordPress plugins must use the GPL license which lets anyone see my code. This makes it easier to compete with me.”
                    Your competitors can see your code, you can see theirs. Execution defines the winner. Build better, faster and simpler plugins to succeed.

                    “Platform risk is too high. Automattic acquires successful plugins to compete with other players. They are the developers of WordPress. This is an unfair advantage.”
                    While it’s hard to compete with a company that has resources and insights into its own platform. There are hundreds of successful plugins who grabbed their piece of the pie. Focus on great customer experience instead of fearing the competition.
