Hey PH! π Built a free niche validation tool after wasting 6 months on the wrong idea
Hey Guys! π
I'm Ken, founder of Smart Hustler Marketing.
My Story:
In 2023, I spent 6 months building a Notion template I was convinced would sell.
Launch day: $47 in revenue. Total.
The problem? I never validated the market. I just assumed people wanted it.
Lesson learned: Validate first, build second.
What I'm Building:
I just launched the Micro-Niche Finder - a free tool that validates side hustle ideas in 30 seconds.
It analyzes:
β Search demand (is anyone looking for this?)
β Competition level (can you actually compete?)
β Profit potential (is it worth your time?)
No signup required. Completely free.
π Try it: https://micro-niche-finder.vercel.app/
Why I'm Here:
I'm planning to launch on Product Hunt next week and would love to connect with the community first.
If you're working on a side hustle or thinking about one, I'd love to help you validate it!
What I'm Looking For:
- Feedback on the tool
- Advice on launching successfully on PH
- Connections with other makers/entrepreneurs
Fun Fact:
I've validated 47 niche ideas in the last 2 weeks. Turns out "AI-powered dog walking" has more search volume than I expected π
Drop your niche idea in the comments and I'll run it through the tool for you! π
Looking forward to being part of this community!

Welcome to Product Hunt, @smarthustler
That's a nice and honest post. I would definitely use micro-niche-finder. It's actually a brilliant idea.
You said you are launching next week. I would definitely suggest you to spend a bit more time here and monitor the other launches here and their makers too.
Rushed launches generally fall behind quickly. Prior homework and active engagement would surely help you. Wishing you the best.
