Validate business ideas fast (no audience needed) 💰🧪

Hey,

"Quiet income" 💰 absolutely crushed the poll! 🎉

I get it, wanting to earn without the chaos. It’s exactly how I felt sitting at my 9-5 (which often wasn’t 9-5, of course).

Here's a super simple 5-step experiment to test ideas before you spend a minute creating. Zero spend. Perfect for us introverts. 🧠

Ready to know what people will actually buy? 🧪

Step 1: Problem Hunt (Day 1) 🕵️‍♂️
Find 3 pains your skill solves.

How: Reddit/Twitter search "[your niche] sucks".
Example: "Productivity sucks" → overthinking, burnout, focus issues. 😵‍💫
Action: List your top 3 pains. 30 mins. ✅

Step 2: Audience Proxy (Day 2) 🗣️
No list? Ask strangers directly.

How: Post in 3 Facebook groups/Reddit: "Would you buy [solution] for [pain]?"
Example: "Would you pay $9 for ADHD productivity templates?" 💸
Goal: 20 replies. 30% yes = good sign. 📈

Step 3: Offer Promise (Day 3) 🎯
Test if they'll pay for your solution.

How: Share your 3 pains + solution bullets in same groups.
Action: "$9 solve this? Yes/No?" Aim for 10-20 replies. 🖐️

Step 4: Final Check (Day 4) 🔍
Ask your "yes" replies: "Still interested next week?"

How: Reply to people who said yes: "Would you buy this Thursday?"
Goal: 3 still say yes = demand confirmed. 🚀

Step 5: Green Light (Day 5) ✅
3+ yes replies = create it. Under 3 = try new idea.

Action: You now know exactly what people want (or don't). 🧠💡
