Startup Idea? Pre-Launch Success Tips

Hey Unbeat AI Tribe,

If you’re like me, you probably have 100s of startup ideas. Most of which might not really have the potential to ever reach the daylight.

But, how do you know which idea has potential?

And no, asking your mom is not the right way 🤓

Here’s how to validate your startup idea in just 10 days without writing a single line of code. Save time, save money, and make sure your idea is solid before you dive in.

7 Steps to Validate Your Startup Idea

Step 1: Build a Simple Landing Page

Focus on your audience's problems and how your solution can help.

Tools: Webflow (for the tech-savvy) or Leadpages (for the no-coders).

Step 2: Capture Emails with Beehiiv

Add an email form to your landing page to build your pre-launch list.

Step 3: Subscriber Survey

Create a survey in Beehiiv for new subscribers to understand their challenges.

Example of questions to ask:

• What are the biggest challenges you're experiencing regarding [Problem]?

• What are the most needed features for [Solution]?

Step 4: Design Simple Image Ads

Not a designer? Use AdCreative.ai for easy ad creation.

Step 5: Run $10/day Meta (Facebook) Dynamic Ads

Set up simple ads via Meta. A limited budget of 10 per day will suffice in getting the first feedback. However, if you feel comfortable you can add more.

• Meta’s algorithm finds the best-performing copy and images.

• Why Meta Ads? They deliver the best results on a limited budget.

Step 6: Collect Real Feedback

Gather survey feedback from potential users and grow your pre-launch list.

Step 7: Analyze Which Copy & Images Convert

Check Meta to see which copy and images generate leads.

Refine your landing page based on this data.

Why This Works

I’m using this process right now for a new AI tool.

The feedback and data will determine its future. This method saves countless hours and costs by validating first and building only if the idea shows promise.

Bonus Tips

• Start Small, Think Big: Test with a small budget first. Scale up based on what works.

• Iterate Quickly: Use the feedback to make fast, impactful changes.

• Stay Engaged: Keep in touch with your pre-launch list. Their insights are gold.

No more guesswork. Validate first, then build. This process is a game-changer for startup founders. Got thoughts or questions? Let’s talk!
