Using facebook and instagram to promote an app idea?

[UncleIroh]

Hey guys. I have an app idea. I want to hire a programmer and graphic designer for devoloping it. I was thinking on creating an instagram and facebook page to start getting some audience and test the waters. Get some feedback if people in the niche would like something like this.

But Its still everything an idea. I didnt hire nobody. I didnt plan almost anything. It may take up to 2 montha to complete I guess. Is it a good idea to do this?

I don't know why no one replied to you. I will.

Yes this is a great idea! Dont hire anyone yet, first, you want to obviously validate the need for you app. I would setup FB/IG pages and drive traffic to a landing page where you collect emails. Something like "Sign up to receive an email when we launch". If enough people submit their email, and its to your liking and everything, then go out and hire developers to build you a bare bones, basic version of the idea.

After you beta launch the basic version (in select markets at first, not worldwide), and your beta users like what you have made. THEN you go ahead and blow the rest of your savings on a proper app.

Good luck!
