In this episode of the Startup Daddy Podcast, I talk about how to conduct initial market research to determine of there is a market or potential market for a particular product or service.  I also talk about some ways to evaluate an opportunity and some tools I use for market research.

Today’s feature segment is about research.  Specifically market research.  You have an idea, and you need to determine if it will make you money. The first thing you need to do is determine of there is a market for your idea. In other words, PROSPECTS.

I discuss ways to use Google Search, website keyword tools, Twitter, and others,  to determine if there are people looking for what you want to sell.

The websites I talk about in this episode are:

The Google Adwords Keyword Tool

http://search.twitter.com/

Scribd.com

Let me know what you think.  What are some tools you find useful to get a lay of the land for your market?
