• Answer:

  No shortcuts here - sorry. 1) Pick your favorite 2) find 20 people who you think might buy it (no friends, they are too biased) 3) find out how they solve this problem today, and what pain points they have 4) determine if they would be willing to pay money to solve this pain 5) if yes, build a basic solution and try and sell it to them Don't be married to your original idea - keep iterating between ideas and versions until you find one they want to buy. Good luck!
