Submit a proposal outlining the product/service you want to bring to market. Be sure to describe the product or service, the target market you envision reaching, and the problem your product or service solves for the target market. This should be a problem that is not currently being sufficiently addressed by current solution providers, i.e., your competition. Try to avoid "free" or "value-added" services that do not have a measurable source of revenue, and also avoid brand extensions.
