Validation Prevents Failed Launches
- Building a course without validation often leads to no sales at launch despite great effort.
- Proof of demand before creation is essential to avoid months of frustration.
Avoid Assuming Demand
- Skipping validation usually stems from assuming you already know what people want.
- Guessing demand without verification is a recipe for failure.
Validate With Audience Research
- Ask your audience directly through surveys or interviews to discover their biggest challenges and desired skills.
- Validate if multiple people mention the same problem to confirm your course idea's direction.
