How I validated a product idea and collected ~1K in pre-sales. 🧵

I got a product idea by talking to people over time. And the problem to solve was one of my itches. But I wasn't sure if it was worth investing in.
I kept the project in the drawer for a while. I talked about it a little bit in public on Twitter, but not much else. One day I noticed @Simon Høiberg's pre-launch campaign and decided to take immediate action.
I built a simple but eye-catching landing page. I described the features of the product.
At the of the page, a call to action. Early Bird offer, pre-launch price, pay once, access forever (LTD).
What tools did I use? Landing page: React + ChakraUI + NextJS Payments: Paddle Email: MailChimp Quite easy, but use whatever you're comfortable with (Softr, Carrd, Stripe...).
I started a campaign on Twitter. Every day for 1 week, I posted a tweet highlighting one of the features of the product. The second tweet was sponsoring the LTD offer. twitter.com/ikoichi/status…
I always felt annoyed when Twitter marked as read a conversation, just because I opened it. This leads to lost conversations, and opportunities. That's why I built @InboxsHQ to solve this and other problems on Twitter DMs. 👇
Final results 🥁🥁🥁 20 licenses sold ~$1k collected Conversion rate: 6% If you're curious about the product, here's the link 👇 The LTD offer is still valid for a few weeks 🔥 inboxs.io
