How do you validate ideas before building a product?

Question

Im curious to get your ideas / advice on the kind of validation you do before deciding to build a product.

Emily Thompson · Accepted Answer

Validating ideas is crucial. I like to create a simple landing page or video explaining the core value prop, then run targeted ads to a relevant audience. If the CTR is high and people sign up to learn more, that's a good early signal there's demand. Also helps to reach out directly to potential users/customers to get their thoughts before investing too much in building.

I try to talk to people about the ideas and understand if there's anything they pay for already that might be similar. How have you been validating ideas?

Validate ideas by conducting market research, gathering user feedback, and testing prototypes to ensure demand and feasibility before building a product. https://teamnamesed.com/cooking-...

I like to share the idea with potential customers and see if they'd actually pay for a solution. If there's real interest and willingness to pay, that's a good sign it could work as a product. User interviews and simple landing pages to gauge demand can help a lot with early validation before investing in building something.

I talk with people I trust and those who are willing to give me their honest opinions. And then I try to find similar concepts or products that are already out there. But I think if one has good instincts, it's worth trusting in yourself and give it a go :)
