@truescience4ever This IS the validation. If I would've built the landing page only, collected thousands of emails (remember that we have 700 people signed up), no one would've bought it either. What's the difference?
There is something magic when people touch their wallet.they either pay, or don't.
That is the true validation.
It is better to make a mock-up, sell and refund them with a note that you are not ready to deliver yet but will gladly let them know when youll be later if they want.
@truescience4ever Genuinely asking - how are you getting people to pay you when you have nothing to offer - just a promise. I can't get people to pay when I have a lot to offer.
How big of a problem do I have to solve for people to pay me for a product that doesn't exist yet?
Do you believe that this is still possible to do at the moment, when people have very high expectations of the products?
@khan1123 If you are offering a lot but not getting purchases, then you are likely offering green apples to cats.
Barking at the wrong tree is an expensive mistake to make.
Yes you can sell a promise and in fact any early adopter buys a promise, as nobody else has yet purchased and provided proof it actually delivers on promise.
Yes it is done today and will always be.
You need a change of mindset, then you will no longer build products that don't sell. Again I know this well, been there.
@khan1123 IMO the advice in this thread is bad if you’re doing B2B.
It’s ok to say things are roadmap and ask them how they value things but if you’re taking money and then building it (and don’t fulfill the promise) you’re in trouble.
