There are a million tools out there to use for MVP's, etc. This question, however, is a bit different. What is your current checklist of things you do in order to go from idea to getting that idea validated? What would be awesome is to have a good, solid list that can help others just starting out. If you have a successful method please feel free to share and then I'll attempt to consolidate it. I'll begin:
- Get an idea/problem/hypothesis
- Try to find some other people to ask about your idea/problem/hypothesis and ask a lot of questions....keep asking more questions.
- Use Google/Bing to seek out if the solution exists and if it does, are there aery gaps or niches not being served
- Think of a name, try to register that name or a derivative
- Create a landing page to validate your idea and setup pricing/payment system or collect emails
- Setup Google Analytics and Hotjar
- Setup any email automation for a good professional experience
- Put the landing page up on IndieHackers or other places where appropriate to get feedback and then make edits
- Run Facebook Ads, LinkedIn ads to the page
- Test and learn
- Decide whether to move forward
What's your process?
