I create a spreadsheet with ideas down the side and then categorise the columns with different criteria, things like :-
* What price will it be sold for
* How much will it cost me to start up
* Can I do it all myself / is outsourcing needed
* Is it an easy sell / impulse purchase
* How many people have said they would be interested
* How long will it take to get set up
* Does this sound like fun to work on
I would highlight quite positive answers in green, so I can see at a glance with is quite an attractive idea to work on.
I think it's important to then take your own passion & preference in to account. For me I might prefer to pick something with a higher potential revenue with a bigger list of interested people, where as you may put more weight behind something that is short to work on & fun.
