I find all this mvp stuff just over complicating everything and just complex fluff.
What you need to know is if you can reach at decent scale people that will pay enough to give you a fat margin of profit for your product.
So you need a product that does the job, you need a scalable distribution channel and you need customers to pay enough to give you 60%+ margins.
That’s it. There’s no way around it. With both physical and digital products you can let people pre order them.
You need distribution-product-price fit. When you achieve that you can pour gas on the fire.
TL;DR Just create a damn landing page connected to stripe and take pre orders and make sure the price gives you lots of margin. Then spam
The distribution channel. That’s it.
- abrichr 5y agoHow do you figure out what problem to solve and the distribution channel?
- eaenki 5y agoYou can copy products that are growing fast or solve your own problem or better, start backward from the distribution channel. Like there’s a reason that YouTube personalities sell mostly merch, that’s what’s good to sell on YouTube as a creator. The product is the easy part. The hard part is the distribution channel. How to reach lots of people that would pay for something for cheap. That’s the secret you have to uncover as it’s semi unique for everyone. Airbnb spammed Craigslist and Hotmail spammed emails w their hotmail signature.
