How to Validate Your Idea

Before you commit to building any of these ideas, validate demand:

1. Search volume — Use Google Keyword Planner or Ahrefs to check if people are searching for solutions
2. Competitor analysis — Some competition is good (validates the market), too much is bad
3. Willingness to pay — Join communities where your target users hang out and ask if they'd pay for this
4. Build a landing page — Collect email signups before you write a single line of code
5. Pre-sell — Offer lifetime deals or early-bird pricing to gauge real demand
