Episode notes
ADVICE

Ship What You Can Build Now

  • Build the product you know how to make instead of waiting for perfect validation.
  • Improve and market it over time until your audience understands its value.
INSIGHT

Audience Feedback Has Limits

  • Audiences often can't tell you what product to build because they only see existing formats.
  • Asking them usually yields requests for more free content, not a clear product brief.
ADVICE

Commit And Convince

  • Pick a product and commit; consistent effort makes it work more than pre-launch analysis.
  • Convince your audience it's a value add and keep telling them about it.
