testing an idea / service

4 replies
I have several ideas and services, over 30, that i would like to test over the internet, but i am not sure how. As i have several ideas, i would like to choose a more affordable testing method, preferably under $100 per idea. I've been told to set up a simple site with a domain related to the service, simple template site, capture/squeeze page, and run a small adwords campaign. what do you think?
what other methods can i use to test it? thanks!

    Hey there-

    Without knowing more about your product or service it's really difficult to say.

    However, a good way to test legitimacy would be to ask other people on this forum to rip your product apart/review it. If people like it, go forward with it. If not, move on.

    As for running a small Adwords campaign, you'll have to be tactful if you want results, or else you'll just be wasting time and money. I'm not sure if that would be the best way to go, as it introduces so many variables into an otherwise simple situation. You'd need a killer landing page, great keywords/ads, and obviously a product that is appealing to people. This is not so bad if you know what you're doing, but there are easier ways of gauging interest.

    Bottom line - I'd recommend asking people around here to look at your stuff/validate an idea first.

      I'd give away a few copies of your products to reputable warriors. Then I'd narrow your 30 ideas down to the best 2 or 3 before you spend any money on testing.

    There are no shortages for ideas. Everyone has got them.

    30 isn't a big number but to test them all out one after the other might take a while. Do some research, find out more about the chances of its success and I would start with the ones with the highest probability of success. It would improve your commitment to each idea.

    Once you start working on them, you will learn quite a bit and you will be able to better predict the chances of all your ideas.

    sure.. a domain and page pointing to it will help but I would recommend you do it well but not just keep it 'simple'. Use social media, send out emails to attract users.

    Adwords is tricky. It's difficult with very low success rate for startups. I wouldn't recommend it.

      Ideas are always there but my suggestion stick to one and take action on it,stick to it for alteast 6 months .

      Most newbies that come to IM always complain that this method does not works or that course is scam.The reason is clear most of them think IM is a magic show and you will get money automatically but truth it is similar to all other business and it needs same hard work and investment .
