I am a software engineer and some time ago I bought a pretty decent domain (dailytopic.org). I had no ideas as to how to put it to use for a while, but recently I came up with something viable.
A daily topic feed source
The core idea is to have huge scrapers feeding a topic modelling processor. It would scrape sources like newspapers, reddit, twitter, and so on.
Processed content will be classified into clusters of topics, thus allowing us to identify which are the topics in trend and what coverage sources there are.
A business model with potential, but no value?
As far as the topic aggregation business model, I can definitely attribute a personal value to it. Even I would browse it daily, to see what's going on around the world and who is talking about a specific topic, but also to hear about their opinions.
For an added value, I thought of having a built in summariser (NLP AI models) that extracts the opinions from the various sources and creates an unique resume, filtering out noise payload (all the useless text), and giving you a non-biased unique summary.
This would mean identifying dailytopic as a news feed, making us gain search engine traction and organic traffic.
Building an MVP is not so easy
In my opinion there is no such testable, easy-to-craft product to give in the hands of somebody. The MVP would be the workable version of the application, which can take a couple of months to create.
I can't identify my customers
Seriously, and you will laugh at me. I personally asked myself: Who am I targeting? How do I bring this product to the market surface? What am I charging my readers for? Will it be possible to make it an exclusively organic growing platform? Moreover if marketing would be required, I can't afford 5 figures to invest into.
The advice I am asking for
First, I would love to identify what are some actionable plans to validate that the business model is worthy. My goal is 5 figures per month, whether it's adsense exclusive or not.
Second is, if this is not the right place to look for, where could I look for potential partners to work with for such project?
