Let's brainstorm!
I start:
- create a waitlist on your website and see how many people give you their email
- ask them questions, see how many actually answer
- ask some of their time: either a short call or a short demo + feedback.
More?
I used to be a fan of waitlists, but of you take more than a couple weeks people’s needs and minds change.
Now I’d rather have an MVP live or a payment link.
Pre-sales!
No MVP.
No more than 1 scroll landing page.
If it gets sales + shares, it's worth launching. (# is different for every product.)
The best products I've seen are so good (desired) they are auto-shared and auto-generate excitement.
The way I think about it - If I struggle to sell or get it shared organically, I certainly either 1) don't have a good product or 2) haven't described it well.
Nothing better than actual real numbers. So rate of first visits vs rate of usage numbers in google analytics. Page-views. Session length. Recurring visits etc.
