The human brain is not wired to come up
with a good business idea. Ego, bias
and overthinking, it often gets in the
way. So, what if you could outsource the
whole process to AI? AI.
Well, the models just haven't really
been powerful enough for this, but it's
about to change. And that's exactly what
we're going to show you today because I
brought in one of the smartest people in
the space, Steph France. Today, we're
going to walk through something called
the gold mining framework. Six tools
five prompts, 45 minutes. We'll go from
nothing to a potential million-dollar
business idea and a complete landing
page to go with it without writing a
single line of code or copy. What's even
cooler is you can follow along step by
step and at the end of this video, you
can have one, too. Watching this video
will potentially change the way you
think about ideas forever. So, let's go.
I'm Pat Walls, and this is the Starter
Story Playbook.
Welcome Steph, welcome to the channel.
I'm glad to have you on. So you're going
to show off today your new framework
that you haven't unveiled yet which is
the gold mining framework. Could you
walk us through that? Hi Pat. So I'm I'm
really glad to be here at first. I'm
Steph France. I qualify myself as a
curious marketer and uh I'm I love the
game of marketing and and looking
forward to present this framework. So
this is a landing page for a co-arenting
app. The landing page was created only
with this framework A to Z. And if you
have some knowledge in marketing, you
can see that this is a really good
marketing copy. And this landing page
was created in an hour. And before
starting the process, I had absolutely
no idea about any problem in this niche.
And the cool thing is that it takes all
the pain points, all the wording from
the people in this industry and put them
in the landing page. So it's it's
literally telling the customer their
pain point in their own language and on
boarding., Okay., All right., Let's, dive
in. Steph, can we go over what is the
first step of the framework? So the
first step is to find a market to
explore. The idea is to start with what
you have some edge or what you are
interested in within the three core
markets which are health, wealth and
relationship which are markets which for
sure people are okay to spend money. So
you are already reducing the risk. So
let's take an example and we would only
open the health market. Within this
market, we have a lot a lot of
categories and subcategories and niches
and subniches and sub
subniches. We can go very very deep in
this market. But for now, let's say for
example, you are you are really into
stress management, but you think like
okay, that's not enough. I want more
stress management. Fine. In this case
we are going to use a prompt. It's the
market idea expander. And the goal is
that if you put a subniches, any
subniche or subcategory, it will
continue expand in the category you want
to dig into. And this is a little trick.
Markdown is a language that needs to be
used as much as possible when we talk
with LLM. So instead of just copy and
past, it works as well, but it's really
better if we copy as markdown. So we
keep the structure of the prompt. The
LLM we work with doesn't matter. You can
pick the one you like. I tend to prefer
working with clo for different reasons.
The first is that I think it's the most
human like LLM. Yeah. So the
copyrightiting is good and it's there is
more emotion in the copyrightiting. I
always tend to go with cloud whenever I
can and when I need something specific
for example the 1 million token uh
context window in the same conversation
then I would go with Germany for
example. But for the sake of this
example, we won't go too far into the
the size. So we will work with cloth.
All right., So, I, simply, copy, the, code, and
I just did CtrlV and then I have the
prompt that is copied here. And that's
fine if it looks like that. It's just
that clothes reads the markdown this
row. Now it says okay I'm I'm ready to
help you. Just tell me which market do
you want to go into. So we said to
stress management and now we have at at
first we have health and this is stress
management and then
now below stress management we have
physical stress relief, massage therapy
breathing techniques, mental stress
management and then within those we have
meditation, guided meditation
mindfulness meditation. All those
potential markets can be the market that
you are going to explore. And now the
decision is for you to first it's with
what you like then it's what you have an
edge on which means do you have
knowledge do you have network do you
have anything that can be uh at your
advantage to go in this market or if you
don't have any then just pick one that
sounds good. Okay, so we talked about
how to finding a market. Now, how do we
validate that there's demand for this
market or what do we do next? When we
first pick a market, we we don't know if
it's a good market to go in. And that's
what the step two is all about. We use
Google as well as a Chrome extension
which is keyword everywhere to quickly
find the volume of search and all
related keywords that can orientate us
until we find something that is
interesting to go further to to dig
deeper and then we look at the list that
we have. For example, let's say Swedish
massage. It's still a big one. And then
I could find potentially another
subniche by looking into the different
program. What do we have? Best massage
technique, massage therapy description
Swedish massage history. Okay, if I go
down, I have Swedish massage near me.
Okay, 20 20,000 search. This is a very
interesting query. And then we use
Google Trends which is one of the best
tools to use when it comes to market
research to know if we have a trending
market or at least a stable market. And
now we have switch message and we want
to understand the difference between
search term and topic. Topic will
basically take all the related search
term on Google and also in all different
languages. So when you have a topic it's
already like it's a big thing. Sometimes
you only have search term but when you
have topic you just use the topic and
for this sake uh we can see that is the
trending market actually it's not too
bad there is some kind of uh going down
and we can see that probably here in
COVID where it was not crazy it's a well
trend because usually when a trend has
so much research you won't see those
very big pike here you have them so I
wouldn't say it's a solid trend because
we can see it's up and down but it's a
good trend. So we know for Swedish
message it's a good one but it could be
better. Now let's look at other ones.
For example, if I go back to my tree
core markets and I go to relationship
here in family relationship we have
parenting. Within parenting we obviously
have a lot of things way more than that.
But one that I have explored previously
and that I found there is a lot of
demand is co-arenting. And if I start
digging into co-arenting, let's see what
we have. So here we have 40,000 search.
And if we dig into it a little bit more
we can see co-arenting app. That's
interesting. Which means people are
already aware that there are apps out
there maybe or they're looking for it.
Okay. Carenting concealing. So that
means I have a problem. I'm looking for
a solution. Co-parenting classes. Okay
I I need someone to help me. Those are
very good signs. And now if I do the
same and I use Google trend and here I
have a topic again which is
cool. This is a good solid trend. So
there there are le less fluctuation and
it's a growing trend. So here we are not
talking about all the AI huge trend that
goes up and down and the tool comes up
and it dies 3 months after. Here we are
talking about human needs. Yeah. Society
changes that creates needs that are
growing and growing and growing and
those markets are big. So creating a
business in the co-arenting niche it's
totally viable. Doesn't mean that as
long as soon as you are in the
caparinting niche, you succeed. But at
least it's definitely possible to find a
problem and solve it in the coparing
niche. Okay, so we validated the demand.
Now what do we do next? We are now at
the third step of the framework. We want
to gather data. Now we need to find
where are the people talking about their
frustrations, their pain about
co-arenting specifically and the best
mind we actually have is Reddit. Why?
Because Reddit is literally the place on
the internet where the world is talking
and the world is sharing their program
because there is this anonymous kind of
mindset and long conversation on Reddit
that makes it a real gold mine when it
comes to find customer pain points. So
in the step three, we go on Google to
find Reddit threads. But we will use a
special special query with advanced
search on Google to surface the Reddit
threads where people are talking about
their problem expressing their pain. So
we go straight to the point straight
where the important part is for us
together. So I think I feel I was I have
been uh I experienced all the the the
words that that would filter someone
that is experiencing or explaining or
asking about a specific problem. It's
not 100% right but it filters a lot of
answer compared to what we could have
only with the Reddit search. So I simply
copy this one which you also have here
within the document is the Google query.
So you have market to explore. You just
put your market here. Copy that and go
on
Google. And now this is the moment where
we need to be careful and do the thing I
mentioned earlier which is carefully say
read and choose the right thread. In
this case, we're not spending going to
spend an hour reading, but I I would
tend to always go into it and make sure
that all the subreddit that I chose are
relevant. For example, this one, we have
60 uh comments and it it was 5 months
ago. This is co-parenting and this is
from the subreddit co-arenting. So, we
are right into what we are looking for
here. How did you make your piece with
co-arenting? Definitely about promps
just when you think you have this whole
co-arenting thing. Okay, 40 comments one
months ago. I guess this one is probably
interesting. Share the positive
experience with co-arenting. Why not? If
you don't have better, why not?
Co-arenting. I was wrong. Okay. Here we
have blended family for the subreddit
struggling with current partners
perspective on okay we are going to keep
it short but you can go on and on. Now
the next step is going to be extremely
simple. We are going to copy and paste.
So we simply open text block. I copy the
the complete thread enter three dash
just to say to the AI okay I'm having
another
thread putting that on side. Okay, next
one. Let's go down right away and move
up. Going back
to my text
block here. Past thread
dash next thread. Sometimes it can be a
lot of data. In this case, we just work
with a few. But if you have like 20 re
Reddit thread, good. All right. So now
we got all of our data. We got all of
our Reddit threads. What's next? All
right. So the step four now we process
the data. And for that we have three
major prompts that we are going to use
one after the other. The first one will
extract all the pain points and refine
them. So we have different categories
and we have quotes from the people
attached to the specific painoint. All
right. So we just come to the Google doc
copy as markdown and we go back to cloud
new chat brand new chat and we simply
copy here on cloud. You can just copy
like that. Now I'm just grabbing my
data and I'm passing here.
same. So we have first the title, the
designation of the painoint and then we
have a small description. So parents
feel pressure to maintain unrealistic
friendly relationship with ex partners
for the sh sake of their children often
at the expense of their own boundaries
or current relationship. And the cool
thing is we have here quotes from the
conversation that are related to this
painoint here. For example, it's hard to
cooperent with your abuser, which is a
very good one. I find this type of post
on death like I feel to share your
coopering success, but don't make
statement like try your absolute hardest
to do this for the kids. We can see that
those are deep conversation and they are
all related to this specific pain point.
And if we go down, we have navigating
new relationship while co-arenting. So
that's another set of problem. Then
dealing with high conflict and
neglectful exartners.
probably another one emotional labor
imbalance in blended families I don't
know exactly okay parents feel their
shoulder are unequal burden of emotional
and practical labor labor in blended
families especially when caring for
stepchildren without reciprocal care of
their biological children that's a more
complic complex one but this is the kind
of thing that you can only come up with
when when you go deep into this kind of
conversation
So let's uh move on to the next one the
market gap generator which will take all
those pain points and a framework which
includes new parading new technology
differentiation basically how to find
good business ideas in a saturated
market which like every market is
saturated. This is why it's trained on
this framework. Now we copy everything.
Ctrl+ A copy as markdown. Come back here
and then
paste and let it run. Now it's going to
work from the framework before and come
up with different business ideas. Here
we have the different market
segmentation framework is the the
approach of finding business ideas and
those three business ideas are within
this framework. Okay. Solution one
coarent ally conflict focus coarenting
platform description a specialist
platform platform designed specifically
for high conflict coopering situation
with built-in documentation tools
communication filters I think this one
is really interesting and third party
imagation features that's a very
interesting one now we have product
differentiation framework so uh child-
centered custod transition tool okay a
specialized application focused solely
on making children transition between
household less traumatic with
pre-transition preparation tool
emotional check-in and structural
handoff
protocols. Sounds pretty good. And then
the last part is when we pick a business
idea, which means it's just a simple
choice. This is the one I'm interested
in. We have the landing page prompt
creator which will take all the
learnings we have the business idea we
want to create and we'll transform it in
uh prompts that we are going in lovable
to create our landing page. The last one
is a little bit confusing because we
have a prompt to create a prompt to
finally create our landing page but it's
only copy and past. Let's pick the one
that uh talks to you the most and we
simply highlight it and copy it. And now
we are going to just tell Claude this is
the one I want to go
for. All
right. And now we are going to pass the
next prompt which is the landing page
prompt creator. What is this prompt?
Just before we go into it I I'm going to
simply let it run and then I will
explain. Now I just pass the
prompt and run. So this prompt is
basically as it's made from a research
specifically on lovable the tool that
allows to create apps very fast.
this specific tool. The research went
out there on the internet. Basically
CHPT went out there on the internet and
looked for all the best practices to
create tool to create prompts for loable
as well as all the documentation about
Loable. gathered everything and then
from that I created a prompt that is
made to take all the data that we have
here in the in the context and create a
new prompt specifically for lovable
using all the best practices to prompt
for loable. Okay, so we've processed all
the data and we've come up with our
master prompt. What's next? So now we
have our prompt that normally if
everything works we just put that into
loable and we have our landing page.
We're not going to read that one because
it's it's made by AI for AI. So it's
pretty boring but we are simply going to
copy it and we go into lowable and then
we start running.
Whoa, look at that.
Let's publish.
All
right. Transform custody transitions
from tearful breakdowns to peaceful
goodbyes for separated parents whose
children struggle with household
transition. Transition garden provides
structured tools to reduce anxiety and
create predictable child centered
handhov without requiring perfect
co-arenting relationship. Wow. Okay. We
have the features child-friendly condom
tool. Oh, nice. uh structure handoff
protocol that minimize parent conflict
during
exchanges. Emotional check-in system
designed by child
psychologist. You have to execute on
that, but it's a good feature.
Documentation that helps identify and
address transition patterns. Yeah. And
we have even uh a nice FAQ. Do Bosar
need to use transition garden for it to
work? Uh what age?
And we have a form. Wow. That's it. We
have it. Yeah, we have it. That's
amazing. I mean, there you guys have it.
That is the gold mining framework. I
really wanted to just get it from idea
to landing page and see if we could do
it. And we did. And I don't think
there's any video or any lesson like
this on YouTube currently. And it just
blows my mind, you know, these AI tools
and how this is going to change how, you
know, how you can find ideas. But what
would be the next steps for someone?
Let's say they went through this whole
process in turning this into a real
idea. You mentioned maybe talking to
some customers or something like that.
So if I may push one of my YouTube
videos, but uh I have a YouTube video
that is actually exactly for that. What
we just seen takes one big part of the
whole process. But this video from 0 to
one explains how you can think of using
a quiz to create a waiting list asking
the right question. Because even though
you have the perfect landing page with
the perfect copy for very specific
program in a trendy market going from
there to having the business having an
app running is still a lot of work and
and yeah cursor can do it fast but no
it's still a lot of work and before you
go into that you can if you are familiar
with those tools then just build it and
and try try it and and post everywhere
and then if you have users it's fine you
can go build first and and then see but
if you are not Sure. And if it's a lot
of time investment and if your time is
reduced then I would always go by
validating again. And for that I love to
use quizzes. So you simply tell to
people you show the page and then on the
page there is a popup that says thank
you for being for being here. The app is
in development right now. We are a small
team and we would love to have your take
on uh on your current program. Would you
mind answering a few questions?
You ask a few questions and you say, "Do
you want us to let you know when the app
is out there?" And most people would say
yes. And then you have a list. You can
post everywhere about that and you grow
your list. And and you you decide for
yourself. You okay, when I have a 100
people on my waiting list, I'm building
the app as fast as as I can. You build
it. You launch it to the list via email
the the way you prefer and and it
starts. Perfect. Okay. All right. If you
guys want to get access to this right
now and you want to use this yourself
just click the first link in the
description. We put it all in there and
it's totally free. And thank you guys
for watching. I hope you enjoyed this.
Leave a comment if you'd like to have
Steph come back on and share more
business idea frameworks or even
potentially some marketing and growth
frameworks as well. So, thanks for
coming on, Steph. That was awesome. I
think this is going to change the world.
All right,, I, hope, you, guys, enjoyed, this
video. I really think that this is just
an amazing space to be right now
building in AI and building with AI
tools. And look, these AI coding tools
are powerful, but they're not magic yet.
It's still really early days. I know
that this space can feel really
overwhelming and it's moving really
fast. So, it's important to have the
right system and right framework to
follow. So, shameless plug here, but
we've been working on something for a
while. If you watch this, you found an
idea and you want to take action on that
idea, well, I'm excited to announce
Starter Story Build, which is our
platform for learning AI tools and
learning how to leverage AI tools to
turn them into real ideas and real apps.
Our flagship program is the AI app
accelerator. This is way more than just
a course or a video on how to build
stuff. You get to walk away with a
realworld app built completely with AI
plus skills that might just change your
life. Not only will you learn how to use
these tools and build stuff you never
thought possible, but this program will
give you structure, accountability, and
push you to actually take action, get it
done, and ship. What's even cooler is we
have office hours with AI coding experts
to help you when you eventually get
stuck, cuz everyone gets stuck. And
there's a whole other cohort of people
building alongside of you and building
apps. So, if you're curious about
actually building something and you want
to surround yourself with other builders
doing the same thing, then head to the
first link in the description to see if
the AI app accelerator might be worth it
for you. All right, guys. Thanks for
watching. I'll see you in the next one.
Peace.
