It's hard to get innovative idea in today's technological world. It feels as if every possible idea has been taken and there is no new idea that can possibly pop.

I'm a sophomore student and trying to create something of value that can not only generate revenue but also help people and make them feel satisfied.

Can someone help me how to tackle this problem??

Add value. Get paid.

It doesn’t have to be innovative.

Just go out there and help people first.

Plus people see innovation as inventing a disruptive thing. When it is simply creating more effective processes.

Innovation does not mean groundbreaking.

USA consumers spend over 10 trillion dollars every year.

$10,000,000,000,000
Every.
Year.

You’re an insane person to think there’s no way to make money. Period.

What do you want to do with your life? What do you want to be doing in 5 years? Let’s work backwards from your dreams.

You should really read MJ`s books.
Especially Unscripted .
There he explains in length about ideas, adding value and why execution is KING.
You only need to fill a need, solve a problem or just help out people, to make money.
If you ABSOLUTELY must innovate(you want to) then check this out: 8 Desires Human Beings Are Biologically Programmed With | The Bearded Guru
Anything new, well executed, which fulfils any of the listed 8 desires will be a good bet.

I wrote a post about some businesses I wish existed...feel free to take one =)

Hey, I gave the list a quick look.
You can remove this one: "Shortlinking service that is actually short (less than 5 characters),"
Never gonna happen.
You have about ~74 chars which can be part of a URL and can remain none-encoded.
This gives you 74^4 possible URL combinations, which is roughly ~30 million URLs.
Thats about the maximum for 4 char URL shortening.
Not enough to have a useable service, it wont scale.
One way to address this is by adding subdomains, so it`ll be something like: 123.z.io/8$aB
But thats just a workaround to adress the lack of chars.

My bad. I should've been clear that I was referring to the root domain e.g. bit.ly, snip.ly, cutt.ly, tinyurl.com - appreciate the insight though.
