๐ Method: How do you find and validate ideas for your product? This is my process based on my experience as a product manager ๐ง๐ปโ๐ป in tech ๐๐ป
1๏ธโฃStep 1: Find your idea
Start by looking at your own problems. Chances are, youโre not the only one dealing with them. If you wish there was a digital solution for something, others probably feel the same and are craving a fix.
Another way is digging into online communities like Reddit, Twitter, or niche forums to see what people are complaining about.
You also donโt need to reinvent the wheel. Look at how TikTokโs video format got copied by every social app.
As a small builder, find a product that solves a real problem but has poor UX, missing features, or weak marketing. Thatโs your chance to build something better.
2๏ธโฃStep 2: Validate your idea
Set up a simple landing page.
Drive some traffic (paid or organic i suggest paid as it's quick,) and see if people sign up, ask questions, or show interest. If people are converting (MVP) or joining the waitlist (No MVP), thatโs a strong signal to move forward.
From there, keep on building and start gathering feedback from your early users and iterate based on the feedback you are getting.
@JakeSnyder80dp@HoussamDesigner Yes true I know people who own pages with thousands of followers who happen to be from Tier 3 countries and don't even make $1,000
@HoussamDesigner Depends on where those followers are from and what niche. If they're not from a Tier 1 country in a high consummable niche, I'll take the $5K for sure ๐ .
@ifioknkem@HoussamDesigner But with no portfolio it's going to be really hard to convince people to buy whatever service you're selling. And with the time constraint, I don't think it's possible.
His best option is flipping IMO.
