🤷‍♀️ STUCK on your business idea and aren't sure how to move forward?

✅ You have to keep the conversation going.

Even if it’s within your own network.
You need people on your side.
You need people talking to you about your idea.
You need some outside help.

1️⃣
⭐ Post on LinkedIn and Twitter ⭐

It doesn’t matter if your network is small. You will want to tell people what you are working on. You might find someone to lend their expertise and give you good feedback.

Post something like this on LinkedIn (make a shorter version for Twitter):

✅ Hey everyone,
So, I’ve been working on an idea in the (name of the market) space.
I think there’s a serious problem with (name the problem) and I am in the process of talking to early customers about this problem.
I also think I have the best solution for this problem. It has to do with (briefly explain your solution, but don’t give all the info away).

I need a few things:
1. If anyone is familiar with the (name of the market), please DM or comment here. I’d love your take on what we are trying to accomplish.
2. Please tag anyone that knows this market well.
3. If you know people that might be interested in our solution, I’d love to talk to them and get their feedback.
NO selling right now… I’m just gathering information.

Thanks!

2️⃣
⭐ Post on a Reddit Group and a Facebook Group ⭐

We are big on having customer conversations as early as possible.

Search on Reddit for groups that match up with your market.
Sneakers, stock trading, cars, craft beer.

Same thing on Facebook.

DO NOT try to sell anything.
DO NOT pitch your idea.

Join these groups and make a post that:

✅ Shares what you have learned about a specific problem in the market.
If you are sharing your expertise, then the post looks a lot less like promotion.

✅ Explains the problem you have uncovered.

✅ Asks for an open discussion about the problem and what people have tried in the past.

🤖 You don’t want to immediately dive into your solution.
Let’s find out what people have tried in the past to solve this problem.
Let’s find out if this problem you found IS EVEN A PROBLEM.
You’ll learn a ton just by engaging with your exact target audience.

And, you don’t ever have to leave the comfort of your home to do it.

Post something like this:

✅ Hello!
I’ve been in the sneaker game for 10+ years. Avid enthusiast and collector here.

Lately, I’ve noticed there are no good solutions for repairing basketball shoes that I wear often. I hate dropping $200 on a new pair of shoes, when all I need to do is just patch and repair.

Has anyone seen a good solution for this?
All of the off the shelf items I have found are no good.
I need a consistent service that keeps my basketball shoes fresh.

I’d love to hear what you’ve tried and what works and what doesn’t.

Thanks!
