For my product Needfull, I've been speaking with potential customers. I asked one of them "What set of functionalities would make this product usable enough for you to pay" (paraphrasing). He said "half of what you've currently shown me" - he didn't convert after the trial. While I love Robs advice, I think it's important to keep in mind that even pointed questions and answers don't lead to validation. Only cash in the bank is proof. Everything else is hypothesis validation and tweaks.
How would you suggest we approach potential users for feedback? Would you recommend giving them free access?
I know for sure if someone has a good saas idea, watches all your videos, implement it and scale what goes well, will become a saas monster. And i will be the first example, launching next week
If you can, get a financial commitment early. It’s still not full proof, but you can avoid the unmotivated customers which would cripple you otherwise.
I just launched a micro SaaS product and you are absolutely right. Crickets. The feedback was the problem isn't really a big problem in the niche. I'm building another tool but getting waitlists first if I get them. I will continue development.
No one mentions it but I really like your brand design. Both on the videos and on the website.
great video, thank you
Safe to say I’ve made all these mistakes 😅 Awesome video!
Reasons your MVP fails: 1) You are solving the wrong problem. 00:50 Symptoms: Nice not urgent, interesting but don't need it right now. 2) You don't know who it's for. 03:20 Symptoms: Random signups, conflicting feedback. Your messaging feels generic and unfocused. 3) You are trying to do too much. 05:49 Symptoms: Still not ready to launch. Early users say they don't know where to start. Product feels like a buffet with no signature dish. 4) Your onboarding kills momentum. 07:40 Symptoms: People sign up, poke around and then disappear. There are support tickets saying I am confused. Your usage drops sharply after day 1. 5) You shipped but you forgot distribution. 08:45 Symptoms: No traffic, No signups. No feedback. You have launched 5 times on social media but have zero users. 6) You overpromised. You misset the expectations 11:06 Symptoms: Users feel disappointed. Bad reviews or refund requests. You feel demoralized post launch.
Full video on "Solving the wrong problem" would be awesome. I feel like this could go deep.
