    How to validate an idea quickly?

    IDEA EXECUTION 
    Okay. If you want to build things on your own, then I really recommend diving into JavaScript. The benefit is that it will be the only programming language you will need to know for both the frontend and backend. You can learn the basics on your own and possibly get a junior dev job at some...

    How to validate an idea quickly?

    IDEA EXECUTION 
    It really depends on what your goals are. Knowing basic HTML & CSS is an incredibly valuable skill even if you are not a developer. If you don't want to build your stuff on your own and want to be rather on the marketing side, crafting offers, building, and optimizing landing pages, it will help...

    How to validate an idea quickly?

    IDEA EXECUTION 
    Yeah. Done is better than perfect. Learn as you go. I have a job as a developer and in my free time, I am trying to launch some SaaS side projects. Failed a couple of projects this year but I am learning. Still throwing that sh*t at the wall and trying to find out what will stick :smile:

    How To Choose Between Multiple Business Ideas?

    IDEA 
    Nah don't. Showing that you have 0 customers really would not attract people. Don't be afraid to lie a little by saying something like "37 people signed up in the last 48 hours". Count these people in your database, not on the website. That website will need a form that will store the data...

    How To Choose Between Multiple Business Ideas?

    IDEA 
    Validate them. Ideas mean mostly nothing unless people are willing to pay for them. And trust me, not every idea is a winner. If you have ideas, the first step should be validating whether they are good. Aka. people are willing to pay for that. How do you do that? The best way is to talk with...

    How to validate an idea quickly?

    IDEA EXECUTION 
    Yeah does not matter. And both are easier said than done. I can code so landing pages are not a problem for me but I if I couldn't I would use something like Carrd. Not trying to plug anything. It's not mine and I am not affiliated with them. I just tried it a few times and it is one of the...

    How to validate an idea quickly?

    IDEA EXECUTION 
    It depends on how you plan to reach your audience. If you can reach it with ads - make a landing page presenting your product with a goal to get pre-orders or at least waitlist sign-ups. I would give you more tips but I have no experience with anything else. The best way to validate an idea is...

    How to Promote a Product Effectively?

    MARKETING 
    Yeah, that is why I recommend you to ask your buyers about their decision-making process. It can tell you so much. Yeah you're getting it the right way! :)

    How to Promote a Product Effectively?

    MARKETING 
    What makes you believe that you've found a 'very strong need of the market' when you are struggling to make sales? This can mean a few things. A) Your market is too small. B) There is not a 'very strong need of the market' C) Your product is so good that people don't believe it is possible. I...

    Choosing a big idea or small idea?

    IDEA 
    This is a tough question. But as it is said in The Millionaire Fastlane "Your decisions are your life's steering wheel". Focus on making decisions that lead to action. It's not bad to ask for an advice, but you have to learn to trust your gut and to make most of the decisions yourself. Try...

    Choosing a big idea or small idea?

    IDEA 
    Yeah, I know. I have been there too. Just make sure you don't get the "analysis paralysis".

    I think you understand this wrong man. Mistakes MUST be made. Nothing will prepare you for them. You need to read this thread. BIG a$$ ROCK

    Going from Freelance to E-Commerce

    EXECUTION 
    If I had a fashion brand and I needed some exposure, I'd try to get my product to someone who has a decent amount of followers on Instagram. If you are targeting a certain niche, find someone in that niche who has at least 20 000 naturally gained followers and a good engagement rate. I found a...
