Hey Sam! I started out with a survey and some outreach to get people to complete this, then realized the best market research was to go out and build a community, who over time would help define what was wanted and needed. This is the process that I am in now. I started a meetup group and through a variety of meetings and events, as well as 1:1 conversations, I am learning what is needed and wanted as well as who is out there.
This way I can get the first-hand low down on a number of elements, "test market" ideas/events, and help myself refine my sense of the type of community that I would like to be a part of building. This is a longer process, but has benefits beyond data gathering, such as allowing you to find paying customers and build loyalty, as well as develop programming, culture, etc, before investing any significant money!
