So, I got 2 or 3 ideas for a SaaS, and I know there's demand in all of those even though it clearly varies; one definitely has a smaller market. All of them already have solutions that exist but the idea would be to find complaints and make it better.

However, I don't know what the best way to validate those ideas is so I can pick the "best" one and go with it.

I was thinking of making a landing page for each product and then running FB ads to collect emails to see which one gets more traction but again that doesn't mean that they would pay for it at all but I don't know if it's a strong enough signal.

I don't know if it's a good idea but I don't want to spend 3-4-5 months building my thing without doing solid validation.

Even though I know that there's money in the markets that I'm going since similar apps exist, I don't know if it's strong enough validation to just go and build it.

Any thoughts/ideas?

Thank you!
