Did you do any pre-orders for your product?

For an Info Product, Micro SaaS Builder Kit/Handbook, I have been taking pre-orders at https://gumroad.com/l/the-micro-saas-builders-handbook

I did pre-orders for one of my previous businesses (Pagestead, several years back). Was able to raise around $30k in pre-orders before releasing the product.

It's a great way to test the waters, get some validation and get early users involved. It also ups the pressure significantly.

If I'd be in the position to do so, I'd absolutely consider doing pre-sales.
