Hello Makers! This is Pere. What am I about to tell you might sound familiar: Several of my previous projects failed. And they all failed for the same reason: I started building without even checking if anyone would buy. Because I thought they were solving a pain for people. But they weren't. This changed when I started validating before building anything. And it gave me an idea: what if I could help people validate their ideas so they don't lose time building for nothing? Introducing Black Blocks 🥰 I really hope you like it and any feedback is appreciated. Follow my journey on Twitter @PereAyats

@pereayats really intrigued by your proposition and what caught my attention the most was the validation with audiences before building. Upon checking out your landing page however I was met with limited information and wasn't compelled enough to head straight to payment without more research. The main question I have is how can you help me validate to users of the internet or consumers my landing page? Where does that traffic come from?
Tobias Arweiler
You claim that the landing pages will get organic traffic, even without an audience. How are you trying to make this work? This would be a unique feature.
Pere Ayats
@tarweiler I will be building complementary niche sites to give some visibility to all landing pages created with Black Blocks. Many things coming to try to automate the outreach of these landing pages 👀
Imad
Interesting - do you have real-life examples? Have you already started building the organic thing? +1 for the mustache +1 for the Birkenstock with socks
Pere Ayats
@nocodepiper thank you Imad! I have run some mini tests for both. I will be sharing more soon!
Max T.Pham
Hey Pere! Did you validate your product? :)) Just kidding, congrats on your launch, agreed we should validate product before building. But still unclear about how to get organic traffic with your platform? Supported & Good luck!
Pere Ayats
@maxtpham thank you Max!! I'm planning on building niche sites targeted specifically for people interested in ideas in validation, early bird plans, ...
Max T.Pham
@pereayats you meant your customers will share the traffic between each others? like a community?
Pere Ayats
@maxtpham well, not exactly I'm thinking of having a website showing the products being validated by the Black Blocks users. In this way, if this website does well, all landing pages will get organic traffic from it

Wow, looks like @marclou has now some serious competition for launch videos 🤯

@marclou @_justlilian the king Marc will never be dethroned!
Dan Mindru
This looks fantastic! Will for sure keep this in my toolbelt next time I have a bright idea. Congrats on the launch!
Pere Ayats
@dan_mindru thank you so much Dan!
Hey @pereayats Looks great - quick bit of feedback, might be worth having a mention of the Lifetime Deal right "above the fold" as it's a great offer!
Pere Ayats
@maxwellcdavis you mean on the description of the product?
Pere Ayats
@maxwellcdavis Perfect noted!!

Pere Ayats

I HAD to leave a rate and comment just because of your launch video Pere 😂 Best of luck with Black Blocks: there is a real pain point here, and I'm confident you can address it 👊
Pere Ayats
@thomas_sanlis1 launch videos is my favourite thing to make 😂
Alex Szczurek

@uncoverux thank you so much Alex 🥰
Vera Rose
It sounds like a game-changer for early-stage entrepreneurs! I really resonate with the concept of validating before building - it's such a crucial step that's often overlooked 👀 The feature that caught my eye is the organic exposure of the landing page to new audiences. That's innovative and definitely a relief for those who struggle with audience building. Can you elaborate on how exactly Black Blocks helps expose the landing pages to new audiences? Is there a specific algorithm or method in place to ensure targeted exposure? Congrats 🌶️
Pere Ayats
@vera_mur thank you Vera! Yes, I will be exposing all landing pages to brand new niche sites that have interested audiences. I'm planning on implementing automations to share your landing page on other sites like Reddit, Product Hunt, ...

The magical landing page generator is here. Validate first, Build second resonates so well. Congrats on the launch Pere!
Pere Ayats
@hai_ta1 appreciate it so much!
Luca Restagno
Hey Pere! I can totally relate to your experience with failed projects. The idea of Black Blocks sounds like a game-changer for makers, and I'm excited to see how it can help people validate their ideas more effectively. For "No audience, no problem" I'm looking forward to knowing more about your solution 🙌 💪
Pere Ayats
@luca_restagno thank you my friend!
Olive Haus
Congrats on the launch! Product validation can be such a headache - so glad for a tool that can help alleviate it 🍐

Dzianis Yatsenka
Hello! Congratulations on the launch! Tell me please what is the main difference between Black Blocks and other no-code platforms where I can create a landing page?
Pere Ayats
@dzianis_yatsenka the main advantage is that it helps you bring more eyeballs to your landing pages. Other platforms usually leave you on your own on that aspect.
Dzianis Yatsenka
@pereayats looks great! You did a great job! How experienced should I be to use it?
Amogh Jahagirdar
Definitely piqued my interest, can you elaborate on the getting eyes on the product part more clear? Is this already available?
Pere Ayats
@amoghj I will be building niche sites to showcase all landing pages built with Black Blocks to audiences interested in early bird plans, ideas in validation, ... This is a pre-sale to validate the idea. It is in development stage!
Chiritescu Stefan
Great idea 💪. What is the audience which will test the landing pages? How does your builder work? Any best practices for people to get a quick start? How does one test these landing pages (where does it all happen)? A short preview of the process would be nice to have, to let anybody know exactly the type of data you pull out of these tests. Hope everything goes smooth. Will keep my eye on this.
Pere Ayats
@chiritescu_stefan Audiences interested in ideas in validation, early bird plans, lifetime deals, ... The builder will be a very simple drag and drop with plenty of components to choose from Thank for your interest Stefan! I will be sharing more news soon 🔥
Tona
This sounds so good! I would love to get details on everything and follow this project!
Pere Ayats
@notion4academic thank you Tona!
