Questions it answers
- Why should beginners instead choose red-ocean markets?
- What is the essential difference between Skill and prompts?
- How can a knowledge base find a point of leverage that is related to me?
- How do business opportunities in comments become sellable products?
- How does a one-person company scale from 0 to 1 and then to 10?
Our observations
- The value of a red ocean is that demand has already been validated, so beginners do not have to bear the cost of educating the market.
- The barrier of Skill is not content generation, but whether it can deliver a complete workflow and result artifact.
- Content capability determines the sales gap for the same product; the product is only a container that carries the content.
From the author
Virtual product = basic demand satisfaction + experience innovation. First use existing things to satisfy basic demand, then innovate on experience. This is the essence of all virtual products.
