How to validate a SaaS idea easily ?

How to validate your Saas idea ?

What the hell does validating an idea even mean???

Well, there is no clear answer to this.

The best answer, in my opinion, is: Know if your idea is worth building or not.

So, how can you validate your idea? Because…

I saw many people building, launching, failing.

This is the reality of SaaS founders!

So, let’s dive into how you can validate your idea!

#1 Build a landing page

You have to build a landing page, use Webflow, Framer, or any no-code tool to quickly ship your landing page.

It doesn’t have to be big; it just has to explain your idea!

Take one to two hours to build it, don’t waste time on perfection.

You just need to explain your product, your idea and your vision . . .

#2 Email waitlists

Now, you have a landing page, ready to get traffic.

You want to include users in an email list.

So, you want to include a form on your website.

You want to collect emails, leads, potential clients.

But how the hell does an email list confirm if an idea is validated or not?

Well, the emails are the best way to collect leads, and if people give their emails, in this case, you can pretty much say that people are interested in the idea!

But it’s not enough; you can go further by inviting them to a WhatsApp group or a Telegram one.

You can go further in the validation.

#3 Share on social media, communities…

You can either run paid ads for a week; $100 will be more than enough.

Or, you can share your website on social media, communities, groups…

You need to get as many emails as possible, for TagU, we aimed 50, we got more than 100 emails.

This emails are potontial leads, people that are interested in your product.

#4 Pre-sales

This is a bit harder, but still, the best idea validation way.

If people are ready to take out their credit cards, pay for your tool, knowing that they will have to wait until you finish it…

It’s the best idea validation.

I did it with TagU.

And it worked; we made some mistakes for sure, but it was a good validation for us.
