How to validate an idea for a product without building it? (alien.top)

If you don't create the actual product, do you have methods to validate whether your idea is worth turning into a real product?

Thank you, great advice!

So, how many days will you continue this validation period?

Usually a minimum of 1 week so I can account for variance due to the days of the week. But this would depend on what metric I am using as my main KPI for the test, and my daily budget.

If CPA was my KPI, I am going to have less data than if I were analyzing based off of CPC. So in that case, I would be running my test for a longer period, or spending more budget to test.
