Try and predict trends. Find out what the market wants, find out where the technology is going, and put it together. Try and research a product that is desirable while being able to be produced at a relatively low budget.
Follow examples. As a small business, you are not under the pressure to make many huge, innovative products that will determine the course of the market. You have the choice to follow them. Like ghost writing in the publisher's world, you can follow their products and steal a piece of the pie.
