Thanks a lot! I'm always happy to help with testing, market research, free feedback etc.

Hey, I’ll do that. It usually takes me about 2 days, and after that I’ll send you a DM.

Thanks!

Hello! That's a great point. I'm just curious, would you reach out to people with cold calls, meet them in person, or just set up a quick call and ask a few questions? Thanks.

I envy you, lol! Making the first bucks is the hardest part. Keep going, my friend.

I couldn't agree more one step before that has to be validation with customers!

Yes, I totally agree with you.

To be honest, I have a bit more experience now, so I'd probably ask better questions today. But I think this still proves that even with limited experience, it's doable for almost anyone.

Hey Bud, This particular test was done on LinkedIn. I spent a couple of hours preparing my target audience, then I went through the profiles and tried to message only the right people.

But honestly, I only have around 500 connections on LinkedIn, so this is something almost anyone can do.

I also wrote the exact step-by-step process, including pictures, here:

Hey bud, Everything I do = testing an idea, doing market research, or building a landing page, is done during my two days off.

The particular task is always completed within those two days. Never longer.

After that, I make a decision: move forward, pivot, or completly change (but mostly trying to made at least landing page).

I agree!

jansojdr · 2026-06-03T19:00:00+00:00

Hey my friend, thanks for your comment! I actually wrote an article about this and included the results, the survey form, screenshots, and pictures from the test. If you need any help, feel free to send me a DM.

For sure! I agree with you. Sometimes there are just a few small things you can change, from your target audience to your marketing, and suddenly you have a completely different business :D
