You’ve got a digital product idea.
But how do you know people will pay for it?
Here’s a 7-day validation method that saves you from months of wasted work.
Day 1 – Define the Problem
- Write down the exact problem your product solves.
- The more specific, the better.
- Example: “Help beginner freelancers track client projects” instead of “help freelancers.”
Day 2 – Find Your Audience
- Search in Facebook groups, Reddit, and LinkedIn.
- Look for posts where people complain about your problem.
- Save screenshots and note exact wording—they’re gold for marketing.
Day 3 – Create a Simple Landing Page
- Use Carrd or Payhip (free).
- Add:
- Headline that names the problem
- Short description of the solution
- Email signup or preorder button
Day 4 – Share It
- Post your page in niche groups and communities.
- Use wording like:
- “Thinking of making [solution], would you use it? Here’s what it looks like.”
Day 5 – Collect Interest
- Track how many:
- Clicks your page gets
- Signups/preorders you receive
If you get 20+ interested people from a small test, you’ve got potential.
Day 6 – Talk to Potential Buyers
- Email the signups and ask:
- Why would you use this?
- What would make it a must-buy?
- This feedback shapes your product.
Day 7 – Decide
- Yes? Build it and launch.
- No? Adjust your idea and retest.
🚀 Final Words:
Validation saves you months of frustration.
Don’t create blindly—test smart, sell faster.
