As I'm developing tools for Twitter and social media, I am planning to validate my ideas through Customer Problem Stack Ranking (CPSR).

@maxwellcdavis That's right! I've seen many examples of makers who actively engage with their target customers in the community.

@sandradjajic Haha, yes! Klu is a great example! It was possible because of your continuous engagement with customers.
We use fake production for it:)
This is when you create packaging for a non-existent product and then run ads for it. Afterwards, you communicate with everyone who is interested in the product

Throw out a simple poll or ask for feedback on Twitter or LinkedIn. I've also found success with Reddit's various entrepreneur and startup subs. Just be prepared for brutal honesty, that's where you'll get real value.

@yasmininson I like your example! Could you recommend some subreddits for validating idea?
That's a smart approach! Customer Problem Stack Ranking (CPSR) can be an effective way to validate your ideas for Twitter and social media tools. Focus on identifying the most pressing problems faced by your target audience and rank them based on their significance. AI tools like Checkmyidea-ia can assist in evaluating the market potential and competition, while Validatorai can automate the analysis of customer feedback. This combined approach will help you prioritize development efforts and create solutions that address the most critical problems faced by your customers.

Share your idea on relevant social media platforms and engage with your audience through comments, messages, and discussions. Encourage feedback, questions, and suggestions to gauge interest and gather insights.

Build in public. Using these types of forums, try to provide access to those who can give you feedback before launching publicly. There are many things to get correct feedback. The key is also knowing how to understand the feedback, which is obviously difficult.

@marcosd_followr I agree with you. It is quite difficult to understand and define their sincere feedback

hey there, Charlie.
validating your idea on social media can be a powerful approach. here's a quick guideline that might be helpful:
1. observe: start by observing discussions and pain points around the topic your tool addresses. listening is the first step to understanding.
2. ask: don't shy away from asking direct questions about your potential users' needs. people are generally open to sharing their experiences, especially if it could lead to a solution.
3. share: provide snippets of your idea or even early-stage prototypes. get real-time feedback and gauge interest.
4. analyze: watch engagement metrics, but remember, quality feedback often trumps quantity.
5. engage: validation is not a one-time process. keep the conversation going, involve your audience in your journey. this creates a community around your idea.
the key is to approach it with curiosity and openness to feedback. because you're not just validating an idea; you're building relationships. best of luck! 🚀
Create compelling posts about your proposal, monitor likes, comments, and shares, and poll or survey your audience to validate your idea on social media.

@kathyperez_13 Yes, That's a good strategy. I also use this one! Thank you
Just think of it as an informal survey - share your idea on your social channels, see the reactions and comments, and you'll get a sense of its viability real quick!

@eugeneg_3 'informal survey' I like it you mentioned.
Just pop your idea on social, engage with your followers, gauge their reactions and voila, you've got your validation!

@jgrayson34 Yes, Like other comments, it seems that Building in Public is a popular method.
it's as easy as sharing your idea with your social network, getting their input, and seeing if it resonates with them - bam, validated!

@karenwhitewings Thank you :) However, there are many considerations on how to effectively implement such strategies. haha
Why not just toss your idea out there on social media, start a conversation, check the vibes, and there you have it - feedback in action!

@dennisp_11 Thank you for sharing!
Simply share your concept on social media, communicate with your followers, assess their emotions, and you've got your validation!
