About This Course

Learn how to test your business and product ideas online quickly, cheaply, and easily. Make sales before you launch.

Why did your last business or product idea fail? Maybe you think it's because you didn't have enough money, a good enough team, or you lost favor with the money gods. You're wrong. I know exactly why it failed. It failed because you didn't validate it beforehand. That's it. You're welcome.

It's not because you're not a code ninja or a marketing guru or the next Steve Jobs, it's because you screwed up and didn't pre-validate it. You did everything right but your idea was awful and you didn't even know it. So stop picking bad ideas.

This Idea Validation course has taught 1200+ students to dodge bad business ideas like bullets in The Matrix. It's packed with 8 hours of a proven techniques used by the pros and guarded by the super-secret club of business people who are better than you.

At the end of this course you'll know the deepest, darkest secrets of business validation:

  • Running qualitative feedback trials

  • Knowing your competition better than their mother (creepy)

  • Rocking lean, mean online pitch experiments

  • Some of the best free tools only the pros know about

  • The magic price that makes you the most money

  • Why you're no good at knowing if your idea is any good…even if you've built products before

Why do you need the power of "business validation"? It should be obvious, but fine:

  • Because the next time you fail a product launch or pitch a dumb idea your boss is going to hate you. Instead pitch a rockstar idea along with data that says, “I'm right and you know I'm right". Watch your boss get weak in the knees.

  • Because you want to get out of your cubicle and start living the entrepreneurial dream but, "I just have too many ideas so which one do I choose?" Validate your stuff, cut the fat, and you'll be on the beach sipping pina coladas in no time.

  • Because you want to sell new products without stabbing around in the dark until you get a winner.

  • Because you want those pro skills. Yeah, it's time to up your game.

  • Because you want to be an awesome entrepreneur that everyone is jealous of.

Nine out of ten new businesses are dead on arrival and deflate like a punctured moon bounce. Don't be a moon bounce. 

  • Develop product and idea hypotheses

  • Run effective qualitative assessments with potential customers

  • Confirm the existence of consumer problems and validate their potential worth

udemy should do a better job to make it clear that this course is almost 10 years old. Some of the ideas are evergreen but in many places it uses tools that are no longer available, or no longer do what they once did.

Der Kurs hat erst begonnen, aber es klingt alles plausibel und vielversprechend. Ich habe gerade Evans Kurs über "Pre-Programming" (hervorragende Präsentation einer großen, aber zusammenhängenden Vielfalt von Themen) beendet und möchte mehr von ihm lernen.

Correspond à mes attentes mais le cours a vieilli un peu (nouvel algorithme Facebook, rôle d'Instagram/TikTok, et minimum requis aujourd'hui d'une landing page est plus important qu'avant)

It looks a bit outdated now in 2021. Even the webs the instructor shows look very old, like google, and some don't exist anymore.
Also the instructor makes references to jump to some next lesson like wireframing that is not included in this course.
Globally it is informative, although some sections seem just a bit narrowed down for the example, and not enough generic out of a mobile app scope.

You need to be able to tell how long each course is on mobile. Took me forever to make sure I had the right course cause my boss said take the 8 hour one, well on mobile there is no way to tell so I had to look stupid and ask which one, would have had 5 stars other wise.

Despite the fact that this course is several years old and some of the content has already became outdated, I still got a lot of very helpful tips I can use in validating my business ideas.

Essentially, come up with an idea and bug your friends and family to "validate" it. Whatever.
