Social Media

Little updates can generate some pretty big ideas. Check your Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook feeds often to see what your followers and fans are talking about. Maybe it’s a problem a follower just can’t figure out. Or perhaps it’s a time-sensitive news items on a friend’s wall. Take these ideas and run with them. You can even let people know where the inspiration came from. That way, people will send ideas to you—you won’t even have to go looking for them.
