Challenge 0: Landing Page creator to validate ideas
I own ~30 different domains and 100+ ideas in my notebook.
The number 1 problem I have when I get an idea is how to validate it quickly. How do I get the email addresses of interested people?
The site I am building now aims to solve this problem.
Here's what I'm building:
Whenever I get an idea and buy a domain name, the first step I do is to build a landing page.
Some tools I use:
- Plain old HTML/CSS
- WordPress
- @carrd
- and many other such no-code landing page tools.
But the problem: I spend days on it and drop it after a few weeks.
This is what I am going to solve.
I am going to build a web app that allows me to quickly get a landing page up and running – in less than 30 seconds.
The most minimal landing page consists of a Headline, a few paragraphs of copy and an email form.
All the others components like a mockup picture or video, pricing page, features, and FAQs are all secondary.
To validate an idea, I would stick with the bare minimum and maybe continuously iterate on it as more people come into the funnel.
So this is my Challenge 0: I am going to build this web app that can host a landing page for all my ideas.
And this will help me to quickly validate and get an audience for my 13 apps in 2023.
If done right, I can build the landing pages for all my ideas in the first week of January and I can focus on whichever gathers the most interest from the audience.
This is my plan for the next 6 weeks of this year.
So what is the current status?
I have bought the domain
And began working on the first landing page using Tailwind CSS.
I will update you here and on Twitter @cnu as I keep making progress. So make sure to follow me.
