For the specific copy/paste email templates

For the specific copy/paste email templates I used to kick my giveaway off with a bang and help make sure it succeeded, jump down to my Update #2 of the validation challenge.

Now, once you’ve built your email list to a afghanistan phone number database you’re comfortable with (I recommend ~100 subscribers), it’s time to start building your proof of concept.

7. Build a Proof of Concept.
Now you have a small (but growing) audience. You know the specific offering you want to validate your business idea with. In my case with this validation challenge, that was an off-the-grid hiking guide to the most under-appreciated adventure destinations in California—documented in VR/360°, drone footage and video.

But I didn’t have the time to go out and shoot all that content, get it edited and HOPE people paid me for it. That’d take months and probably a good amount of money.

Instead of pausing here to invest weeks or months into building your course, writing your book, developing an app or creating a complex website to highlight your freelance skills in order to land the best work from home jobs or otherwise remote gigs, we still want to make sure there’s a (paying) demand for what you plan on building—before you actually go out and build it.

That’s where building a simple proof of concept comes into play.

A proof of concept is a realization of your method or idea that demonstrates its feasibility.
