Validate. Build. Sell.
A welcome email today, then 7 days of action. Each one gives you a template, formula, or checklist you'll actually use.
Day 1
Is the Pain Real?
You have an idea. But is the pain concrete and recent? Mom Test-style questions that separate "cool idea" from "shut up and take my money." Ask about yesterday, not abstract futures.
Day 2
Build Your Smoke Test Page
Build a landing page in 30 minutes with Lovable or Cursor. Headline from their exact words. A price. A tracked "Buy" button. No product needed — just a page that tests if strangers would pay.
Day 3
Spend $30 to Prove Demand
Run a targeted Reddit ad to your smoke test page. Count clicks. Calculate potential ROAS. If the numbers work, build it. If not, you saved yourself weeks — for $30.
Day 4
One Killer Feature. Nothing Else.
Most projects die from "just one more thing." Pick the right AI tool (Lovable vs Cursor vs Claude Code). Use the 5-part prompt formula. Build the ONE thing people said they'd pay for.
Day 5
Wire It Up. Simple and Flawless.
Auth, payments, email, deploy — the infrastructure that turns a demo into a product. Needs to be simple to set up and work perfectly the first time a customer touches it.
Day 6
The Easiest Sales You'll Ever Make
Message the people from Day 1 who told you the pain is real. You're not cold-pitching — you're following up. The outreach script that converts, plus how to handle silence.
Day 7
Launch Day
The launch post template that works on Reddit, Twitter, and Indie Hackers. Pick ONE distribution channel. Go get your first paying customer.
Bonus — Day 8
Stop Losing 95% of Your Visitors
Paid ad visitors who don't buy are gone forever — unless you capture their email first. The simplest lead magnet you can build (hint: it's an email drip like this one) and the math that makes it 2-3x your revenue.
