So you think you have something new going on in your mind ? Great. You are doing good and are playing guru. And are you thinking that only you have thought about it and nobody else in the world would have ? If so, you then need to give it a second thought ! To be honest, I myself believe that this topic itself is a great idea when I am writing it. I am yet to discover with my own methods that I am suggesting. I may look it up but won't record any results here as it would be of no consequence. Well, coming back to the point, how do we figure out if the brand new idea you are thinking about hasn't been discovered yet ?
Follow these simple steps if the topic hasn't given you the requisite clues yet.
1. Sign in to your Google Mail (gmail).
2. Compose a New mail.
3. Put your Email Id in the 'To" field (Send it to yourself as this is your own and you are trying to discover if it is a new idea. )
4. In the Subject, key in a name what you thing the idea is ( a one line summary).
5. Type out your detailed idea in the body of the email.
6. When done, send the idea to yourself.
7. Check your Google mail Inbox.
8. On the right hand side, check the Ads shown by Google
9. You will find similar ideas if it already exists.
10. If you do not find any, expand your idea and reply to yourself and check the ads in the body of the mail again.
11. If you find something at all and if you explore it, you may be able to improvise your idea.
12. If you do not find anything similar at all, your idea is indeed the "Next Great Idea"
Well, you may be wondering how better is this than just a plain Google web search. That is not untrue either. Google mail provides a platform to key in a large number of words similar to your thoughts and there are more keywords in the body of your mail for Gooogle to search across getting the best out of the Google search engine. There are other benefits to it. Your idea matures and you can build upon ideas that already are in place. Here is another reason why I suggest this idea. No matter whether you are working alone or working as a team, you can use this idea all by yourself or collaborate collectively. The results that come up on the gmail are more commercial in nature and are more appropriate if you are working on a commercial idea.
Good luck with your "Next Great Idea" that will change the world !
