Testing the market's need for your product

[Damien Boss]

Hello everyone,

How do you test the market's need for your product?

I started my Fastlane journey a few months ago when I joined this forum. I had a product idea that could help a lot of people, and I've been building this product for a few months. I'm not yet done, and I'm starting to think "What if no one wants what I'm building".

I then listened to an entrepreneurship podcast on Spotify (the name of the podcast series is: "Acquired", go check it out, I'm sure you'll love it) I heard the story of a founder who before even starting to build his product, created a landing page with a brief description of his product, and an option for users to enter their emails if they were interested in the product he was to build.

Unfortunately, he didn't give any more detail, but he said that this made him know if actually what he is building will be needed by someone somewhere. I've decided to follow this approach and go through the same process. I've identified a few tools online to create landing pages. My approach will be to purchase Facebook ads and target people that I think might be interested in my product.

So, I'm wondering.
Has anyone gone through this approach? if yes, what will be your advice to me please?

Does anyone have a different approach to test the market's need for a product?
