Validating ideas is like dating - you need to put in the time, ask the right questions, and see if there's a long-term fit between your product and the market!

You can make an initial assessment by researching gigs on Fiverr. If you find that similar services are already being sold and have significant sales, you can create your own gig. This way, you can accumulate customers while developing your product, ensuring that you already have a first wave of users when the product launches.
