Interviewed Courtland at the Worldwide Meetup Q&A
by Anthony CastrioBack in September we had Courtland as a special guest at our monthly meetup. It went really well, turns out podcast hosts also make great meetup guests.
Courtland's advice on market validation for a new indie business was particularly salient:
-
Validate your idea with the same distribution channel you will use to grow long term. Eventually every growth channel stops working.
-
You can't get discouraged if one channel doesn't work, another one might.
-
Make sure you're testing the right thing.
-
An idea is not just a product idea.
-
When the market is saturated you have to focus on product.
