Market Research - How to Test Your Idea in 2 Weeks (with real-world case studies)

Ideas are important to me.

Having helped bringing many ideas to market (books, games, social media platforms, magazines, apps...etc.), for both clients and myself, I learned that exciting ideas isn't enough, it's also important to make sure the ideas can survive the real test of the market.

Knowing this before you commit hard-earned cash and valuable time into a project is crucial. I've learned to try and test demand before committing fully into an idea. 

In this class, I will walk you through how you start to validate your ideas. From planning, building up a landing page, running ads, to analysing your results. I will also share some case studies - ideas I've tested before. These include a book, a software service, a social media platform, a blog reader, and a WordPress theme.

These tests have helped me make important decisions. I've also learned from my mistakes with some of these tests. I hope this course will help you make better decisions on your brilliant ideas.
