Well... first off, let's define exactly what a 'Forum' is so that you'll be able to relate to what I'm about to explain within this article.
The simple definition of a 'Forum' is... it's a online community with a open discussion that allows you to 'Post' questions or queries related to a specific topic.
You can find 'Forums' online related to any topic under the sun, so it doesn't matter what the question is that you might have because there's a 'Forum' out there with hundreds, if not, thousands of members ready and willing to give you helpful Tips and Advice to the questions you have.

Seriously, take a look at all the 'Posts' from the members and see which ones share common threads.
If you see alot of common treads, that means there's potential for a product to be developed.
By doing this simple task it will save you Time and more importantly... Money, because who would spend the Time and Money developing a product or service if there was no demand for it. Right?
You see how this works.
It Pays to do a little research.
And 'Research' is the KEY ingredient for a successful product or service and Forums are simply a great place to get started, especially for anyone considering starting an online business.
Now, with that said, all you need to do know is figure out what you would 'Enjoy' doing as a online business and start a business plan from there.
