Validate ideas with Gumroad pre-orders

Don't make stuff ppl won't buy ❌

• make a pre-order product on gumroad
• get people to get their credit card out
• they only get charged once you deliver so it's fair

I've made $320 in pre-orders in 24 hrs with this method.

Most people will lie and say they will buy your thing if you ask them - get them to prove it by ordering a copy.

I would usually validate by launching - but I only have so much time and now I need to be more ruthless with new products.
