Surveying the public to find a problem or need

[Baker]

I've been brainstorming ideas on how to find a problem I can potentially solve in my country (Australia).
What are your guys thoughts on offering an incentive (money, etc) for members of the public to fill out a simple survey? The survey would look something like this. (Rough draft).

Write down five problems or frustrations that you face in your everyday life.

Its simple but I was thinking if I go to a busy public place or go door knocking and offer $5 to fill out a survey like this it might give me some idea of some needs that could be solved in my area. After all the only way to find needs are to ask right?
