Marketplaces

A classic way to validate your product tis to use Marketplaces like Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, Reddit. The great thing about a marketplace is you have a ton of people who are looking to spend money. It is reliable way to validate different business ideas you are thinking of.

Such as I knew a person who want to validate whether people would pay to rent expense cameras. He posted on for rent on Craigslist and was able to goat $75 for it in a few hours.

The simple validation cost him $0 and a few minutes of time. This is $0 much better versus building a website, figuring out a domain, designing a logo, trying to find customers. I also often use a simple virtual product process on marketplace sites to test products that sent even exist yet. I find an items similar to the one I want to validate or I drew up a quick and dirty design to what I want to sell and then I post it to the marketplace, along with a price, to see if there is an audience.

The pint is, I did not try to find a manufacturer. I did not make a website. I did not try to test the golf ball. I just said, will anyone actually give me money for this? And people did. I sold twenty of them and got an only one manufacturer to make them and shipped them to customers.

Another good technique involves posting on social media where you have an audience of people.

Another person was looking to develop a side hustle, so I asked her if she had ever trained other people to be an assistant because she already had the skill and was very good at it and a lot of other people want jobs like her.

So she posted a message on Facebook right them. Hey, I am assistant. I make a lot of money doing it. I want to help. If you are curious how I do it. I am happy to help a few other people out. Just leave a comment or message me.

Soon enough, people started spending and soon she was charging $100 for people to shadow her as she did her job.

That is exactly how you do it.
