Problem: Business owners wanting to find communities where they can reach their possible target audience but face difficulties because it is a time consuming and tedious process with no centralized resource.

Solution: Building a product which enables the business owner to Search for a list of communities, forums, blogs, newsletters, social media influencers(Twitter/Instagram Accounts) based on categories such as Developers, Startup, Marketers, Designers, Music, Writers, etc.

Do you face such a problem? or anything similar? Would you pay for a solution like this?

    For a business, the first community that matters is customers. Probably the best way for a business to find communities containing people with similar needs to their customers is to ask their customers.

    Among the categories listed, the only one that has an above average income from activity in the category is developers. Most writers and musicians don't make any money.

    Good luck.
