Validate Your SaaS Idea FAST (Step-by-Step SaaS Validation Process)

How Can we connect?

How many frameworks did you run through to validate the idea for that haircut? 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for this !

How to build your network? How to do this if you have multiple businesses ideas with multiple target audiences

how to validate idea for enterprise saas, high touch? Great video btw

If it is an app for local business, instead of building a landing page, can you take time to meet potential customers and build a waiting list?

SAS is trash, make desktop apps and let people have software ownership again. We have awesome computers now a days I don't want to use someone else's for a subscription fee.

Are you ever hesitant someone is going to take your idea and develop it faster when validating?

70 cold calls is not much lol - if you ever did real estate, you’d know that ain’t sh******

Thank you for these info

This channel is amazing!

Does this apply to micro-saas ideas as well ?

what if they copied and improved my idea for themselves after I validate with my network?

Still looking for the double like...

Hey mate, how long did it take between telling your developer to go ahead, and then going on sale?

Thanks to you I am reading the mom test right now!

How do you validate your idea without someone stealing your idea?

But don't you need an that audience that trusts you to do a presale or sign up list first? Lets say you get some conversation going and you want to take it to the next step with an actionable validation step like I mentioned before. If the audience is not there, you won't be able to get a good signal about your idea. It would be highly unlikely that people driving by the random places, where you could post your promo such as reddit, indie hackers, FB, etc, would sign up for a newsletter or let alone jump on the presale. Where I am going with this is that you need an audience first, which takes a lot of time to build. How would you address this to get that velocity for idea validation?

Hi I have Micro sass idea. I am not an owner of any company nor an entrepreneur. I am just developer who has noticed a pain point which I would like to share my idea is it possible?

Hi Rob, the last advice is to do both, you mentioned that you could do both. Did you only build a landing page then do marketing to validate the landing pages (this could be just a Wordpress site with no codes), create email list? or did you build more than just a landing page (you had your developers build the first prototype / MVP + landing page) to do marketing with these? Thank you

I get exact opposite of "cursed of the audience". People jump at the conclusion "your product is just like X" or "your product is useless" without even trying to understand the product or the idea. I think the key highlight is only early adopters are intellectually capable of understanding new stuff...

What about this strategy? I do a bit of research in an app marketplace to find some opportunities, build a super fast (one week of work) piece of software and launch it to that same marketplace, then I wait, simple (the algorithm will be in charge to market my app). And if it doesn't get traction, then I repeat.

Do you need to go through this validation process if you are on step 1 of the stair step approach where you are building a plug-in or add on to an existing marketplace?

What an excellent video! Thanks for sharing all these tips, Rob.

Great video Rob! This video is much needed. I still see so many people plunge headfirst into their idea without any validation, only to fail because no one wants their product. I think part of the issue is that many engineers are introverts, so talking to customers doesn't come naturally. Picking up the phone can seem really scary.

Great Video... I started to Develope ADDONS/Improvements for already existing Wordpress Plugins. We are offering them as a subscription. Do you think in generell, this is a good idea, to first start with something like "Addons" and impactful "enhancements", before starting something completly standalone?

Awesome video, bundle of learning...

Mom Test is 2 thumbs up; highly recommend it for ideas on how to validate

Thanks

We have had clients purchase similar “systems” off of us.Thought that there must be a market for an automated version …. Had clients pay $thousands for a one offs and now doing a saas to allow them to automatically deploy themselves. Currently working towards validation so this is perfect timing!!

Deploy empathy is the saas version (bootstrap) of MOM test.

Interesting. Im trying to validate an open source ML monitoring solution. I'll use this info. Thanks

Thank you for these videos, really helpful!
