Turning an idea into a real product can be overwhelming. From evaluating if it’s even possible, to legal headaches, to the chaos of development—it’s easy to get stuck or give up.
I’ve been there. But after a lot of trial and error, I’ve developed a process that lets me turn almost any idea into a working MVP in less than 7 days. Here’s how I do it:
- Clarify the Idea As soon as I have an idea, I work to remove any uncertainty. My two favorite techniques:
Discuss with trusted friends and developers: Honest, unfiltered feedback is crucial.
Leverage AI: I use prompts like be honest and criticize this idea to get tough, useful feedback.
- Validate with a Landing Page Before writing any code, I create a simple landing page outlining the core features and add an email collector. This helps me gauge real interest and gather feedback.
I share the page on X and Reddit to get honest opinions and see if anyone actually cares.
- Build in Public Once I see interest, I start development—and I share my progress publicly. This not only keeps me accountable but also helps build an audience for launch.
Tip: Don’t just code blindly—have a clear plan. (I’ll share more on this in a future post.)
- Marketing is Everything This is where your project succeeds or fails. Start marketing early, not after you launch.
