Idea Validations

[Arevico]

Hey Guys,

While I'm developing my small new product, I'm thinking about how i can validate ideas in the future. I know how to validate (soft proof, hard proof ,etc), but I've some questions.

Which questions do you ask when validating a idea. Do you validate the idea or do you validate that the problem the idea solves is actually a problem people are having?

I thought about cold emailing webmaster which belong in the target group, but what kind of questions should you ask?

- Should you ask question in the first email or just if you may ask them a few questions or include a survey link?
- Do you ask more explorative questions, or just downright pose the problem and ask is this a problem?

thanks in advance for taking the time to voice your opinion guys/girls
