Get started

If you are going to launch a new business, one of the first steps in the process is to validate startup idea. Before you do, you should get a clear understanding of exactly what you’re doing and what problems your new business will have to face. Therefore you should really consider launching your business based on an idea that you can truly overcome. Some people start with the wrong concept or problem and simply look for a business idea that can solve that particularly. Here is an easy way to do it.

The first thing you need to do when researching your startup idea is to make a list of all the things that can be the challenges. Once when you finish, make a list of the most important characteristics that you would like to include on your business cards. Then check the list against each of the top tier one problems that you identified earlier. You may find that the social media cards may not be able to address the top tier one problems that you identified.

The next step is to use quantitative measurements in order to validate the startup idea. When you are evaluating your idea, think about whether or not you will have enough data from which to work. If you have no knowledge in the area of social media, make sure that you know the conversion rates on the different social networks. If you do have experience, consider using some qualitative coding techniques to make your landing page more interesting and compelling.

The final step to validating the start-up idea is to build a wire frame. This consists of creating visual representations of your business’s target market, product, and sales process. Wireframes should be easy for a website designer to understand. If a website designer isn’t able to follow the layout and navigation of your wireframe, he/she will need to ask for a re-design.

Now that you’ve done your analysis and a wireframe has been put together. So you will need to go back and validate that your ideas are profitable. Your goal with this step is to identify if you are solving a problem or attempting to sell a service. In order to successfully solve a problem you must identify and solve the problem. Selling a service requires you to identify, as well as, potential buyers.

Another important part of validating the start-up exercise is to go to market strategy planning. By doing this, you will devise a plan to generate leads and convert them into customers. This strategy planning may include pricing, branding, a logo, and/or a sales copy for your landing page.

Finally at the end of the testing and wire frame, is to go to-market planning. In this step, you will be setting goals and determining if your concept is actually solvable. If so you can then develop your landing page and start converting traffic into customers. Now you can begin increasing the monetary figure starting with the budget for your web design and development company.

By completing these steps, you can validate your startup idea. This will give you a greater chance to find problems and fix them before launching your product. By identifying the problems earlier, your idea will be not only profitable but also a huge success. These are just a few tips to help you get started on validating and pre-launch landing pages.
