EXAMPLES OF IDEAS YOU'LL GENERATE YOURSELF

Problem: It’s hard for non-native speakers or language learners to know if their
language level will be good enough to understand a book or movie prior to
purchase.



Solution: Analyze language complexity and assign a score to books, movies,
podcasts, YouTube channels, etc. Build a stand-alone platform and/or a browser
add-on displaying the scoring on Amazon, Netflix, YouTube, etc. You could
potentially license this information, similar to how IMDB licenses their data.
Problem: High CO2 levels in the air can decrease human cognitive performance by
50%. It negatively affects people in co-working spaces and the companies whose
workers’ productivity is affected are losing money.



Solution: Build a service that measures indoor CO2 levels, provides a report on
the results, and sells equipment or services to improve it.
Problem: Looking down at your phone places enormous strain on the spine and can
result in head, neck, and arm pain, as well as numbness.



Solution: Create a smartphone app to measure and track the user’s posture. The
measurements could be sourced via the device’s built-in inclinometer.
Problem: Research shows that modern products often wear out more quickly than
they used to, but eCommerce websites don’t consider durability, warranty
conditions, repair costs, and resource consumption in their pricing. These
factors can heavily affect the product’s cost over its entire lifespan.



Solution: Help eCommerce websites to provide consumers with expanded price
information that consider these factors.
Problem: There are no sustainably produced rain covers for bikes on the market.



Solution: Produce and distribute bike rain covers made of sustainable materials.
Problem: Workspaces of any kind (office, co-working, coffee shop, home) produce
noise which can affect people’s performance, creativity levels, and even their
health.



Solution: Build an app to measure, track, and analyze noise levels. Show when
the noise level or noise type is suboptimal, so the user can move to another
space. Provide a weekly or monthly summary insight.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Artiom Dashinsky

Hey! My name is Artiom Dashinsky and I'm an entrepreneur and product designer
based in Berlin and Tel Aviv. During my career, I led the design of multiple
products at startups, co-founded a tech startup, and managed an agency.

For the last few years, I'm making a living from the products I've built like
Swag Fair, OpenStanding, SketchKeys, VeggieMat, Solving Product Design
Exercises, etc.

Products I've built are used by tens of thousands of professionals working at
companies like Google, Airbnb, Netflix, and Boeing. Products I built or designed
are featured in Wired, TechCrunch, Forbes, Quartz and more.

My previous book became an Amazon Best Seller in the UX Design category. Reach

FAQ


 * ON WHICH AMAZON MARKETPLACES THE BOOK IS AVAILABLE?
   
   Here is the full list: USA, UK, Canada, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Japan.


 * HOW LONG WILL MY PRINT COPY TAKE TO ARRIVE? HOW MUCH DOES SHIPPING COST?
   
   Your shipping costs and estimated delivery times will be available to you at
   checkout. Shipping costs start from: US — $3.99; UK — $3.44; EU — $4.99;
   Canada — $5.99; the rest of the world, depending on your location - $5-10.


 * HOW MUCH TIME WILL IT TAKE FOR ME TO READ THE BOOK?
   
   The book has 136 pages, so it will take about two-three hours to read, not
   including the practical exercises. This book is self-published, so it doesn't
   have a page count minimum set by a publisher. I value your time, so I worked
   hard to keep the noise-to-signal ratio high to make sure you can finish it
   over a weekend, including practice time.


 * DO YOU HAVE A MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE POLICY?
   
   Yes, for the digital copy sold on the website. I’m convinced that you’ll find
   this book valuable. If you feel that it wasn’t, reach out to me within 30
   days of your purchase and you’ll receive your money back, no questions asked.


 * DO YOU HAVE A DISCOUNT FOR STUDENTS?
   
   Yes. If you’re a full-time student, send me an email from your ".edu" address
   or provide other proof, and I’ll send you a 20% off coupon for the website.


 * DO YOU PROVIDE BULK PRICING?
   
   Yes. If you’re buying more than three copies for your team, students, event
   attendees, etc., reach out to me for a bulk pricing cost.


 * HOW ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE IS THE PRODUCT?
   
   The paperback is print-on-demand, which means that each copy is printed for
   each order. This method eliminates waste and the need for storage space. In
   addition each copy is printed in the closest country to the customer:
   Australia, Canada, Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States. I
   suggest you buy the digital copy rather than the print version. If you buy a
   print version, please consider reselling it later on eBay or Amazon. I lend
   or donate some of my profits from my books sales to Kiva.


 * I’M A NON-NATIVE SPEAKER AND I’M AFRAID IT WILL BE HARD FOR ME TO UNDERSTAND
   YOUR BOOK
   
   I’m a non-native speaker as well but this book has been professionally edited
   and we have worked hard to make it accessible for native and non-native
   speakers. Read the first pages of the book to see if you’re comfortable with
   the level of complexity.
