@david_jones6 I need around 100. But I want to keep growing from there so I have an audience to launch my product to. I have a blog post that feeds to my landing page. https://medium.com/@aimcareerss/...

@aimcareerss @joe_wilkinson Here's what I'd suggest: be much more direct. Forget about the blog-to-landing page-to-e-mail-to-outbound-to-validation approach. It's way too cumbersome and has too much friction and place for people to drop off. Just be transparent that you're trying to validate an idea and be a little more explicit with what it is or what problem you're trying to solve on your landing page. Put a little survey together to help you validate and ask people to take it. Collect e-mails from the willing and contact those people to dig a little deeper. Post about what you're doing on some Freelancer groups on Linkedin and Facebook and Reddit -- a simple search should help you find a bunch -- and ask them if anyone would be interested in taking a short survey to help you validate your idea. If you're unsure, ask the mods if it's OK to ask for that sort of feedback.

@aimcareerss @david_jones6 I definaly agree my approuch is cumbersome! However most of the places my audiance hang out reddit/linkedin groups ects ban for self promotion. This why I turned to blogging in the first place.

@abadesi I agree, however I still believe you need to promote your blog so early readers find it. They can then share it and grow naturally. Its those first readers I need to promote to.
