Full Transcript

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.
