How I test my MVP and get 400 views, 20 subscribers in 6 days?

Hello everyone, I'm a new product maker who has recently begun testing my MVP concepts. I'd like to share with you how I tested my MVP and received more than 400 views and 20 subscribers in only five days. Perhaps the majority of you have accomplished more than that, but as a new product creator, I want to support individuals who are in the same position as me.

Although we are all aware of how crucial MVPs are, most of us are unsure of how to create and validate them. I wish my knowledge could show you the path.

1️⃣ Anticipate the pain points

In order to create an MVP, you must have a general notion of what you plan to build. Then, your first step should be to consider the pain points that people are already experiencing. For instance, if I were planning to build something related to video making, I would anticipate that users would want features like changing a virtual background, reducing background noise, overcoming camera phobia, and so on.

2️⃣Concentrate on a single pain point

Although you may be able to forecast the problems that users of video apps will have, your solution can only address one issue at a time. Don't try to satisfy every possible user's pain point out of avarice. At that time, I made the decision to solve the problem of overcoming camera anxiety.

3️⃣Consider again what to build

Now you've determined the pain point you want to solve, you can consider again what to build. In order to solve people's camera phobia, I decided to build an online prompter, to help recorders remember what they're going to say next in order to alleviate people's camera anxiety.

4️⃣Build your MVP

MVP can be a landing page, a demo video, a Google Ads, or something like that. For me, I chose to create a landing page and add some pictures and words to explain my product, which is simple and intuitive. Also, I've tried to make a YouTube video to test my second MVP, a tool to change people's dress code when screen recording.

5️⃣Spread your MVP

Post your MVP on Reddit, Facebook, Indie Hacker, Product Hunt, Discord, and so on, then invite people to give feedback. The most important thing is to get your product subscribed or collect feedback as much as possible. I used the momentum page to create my landing page so that I could collect the subscribers' emails right away. Also, I posted my MVP on r/Saas, and got nearly 4k views, and more than 20 comments there. It turns out Reddit is still the most effective way to get traffic and feedback.

6️⃣Connect with subscribers

After you have their email addresses, reach out to them politely and ask them if they would be willing to provide you with feedback. I sent 20 emails to my subscribers, and I received 2 insightful responses. One of them even made specific recommendations for the features of the product.

🤝So, that's all for my experience, if you have more suggestions for building and validating MVP ideas, welcome to connect via Twitter: https://twitter.com/FionaQ977( maybe Threads in the next few days), or just leave comments below.

Thanks for your time and wish you all good luck!👀
