A more sound option is to start online, as this could give you the possibility to track and optimize everything on-the-go. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this case, a website could become a perfect<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> idea validation tool. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll be in full control of what\u2019s happening there, in contrast to social media, online marketplaces, and other external platforms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may argue that creating a website is an unattainable luxury. Well, not anymore. Now, there are a lot of affordable website building services allowing you to create a full-fledged website really fast. Check out the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">comparison of the three most popular website building methods<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to make a sound decision.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"bordered_accent margin_bottom\"><center><b>By the way, you can get a custom-made website from Weblium studio at the price of hosting and domain name.<\/b><\/center><center><a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/weblium.com\/\">Learn more<\/a><\/center><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t forget to connect the web analytics tools (e.g. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/weblium.com\/blog\/connect-google-analytics-to-your-website-on-weblium\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Analytics<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/weblium.com\/blog\/connect-hotjar-website-weblium\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hotjar<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) to see what channels bring you the most visitors, how they interact with the website and, ultimately, what you can adjust to improve conversion.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Step 2. Run ads on Facebook ($20-75)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve got your website, it\u2019s time to drive traffic to it. And that\u2019s where Facebook Ads will come in handy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With over 2.2 million monthly active users, Facebook remains the largest social network out there. This amounts to 71% of all Internet users worldwide (Source: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brandwatch<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), meaning you can reach practically anyone there. What\u2019s more, 79% of Facebook people have a college degree. This is the most educated and solvent group of people in the world. Sounds like a real bonanza for an entrepreneur, and it really is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides, it\u2019s the most affordable way to quickly test if the audience you\u2019re targeting is interested in your products or services. Facebook targeting is so refined that you can reach your desired audience for a dime (of course, if you set everything up properly). <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Facebook advertising tips to help you get started<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6603\" src=\"https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/facebook-ads-manager.png\" alt=\"Business validation ideas.

Post<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pay close attention to the post you\u2019re going to promote on Facebook. It will be the first thing people learn about you, so it can either bring you lots of leads or go unnoticed. Pay close attention to the message, image, and CTA.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>2. Targeting<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before running an ad campaign on Facebook, you need to create a customer profile that will describe the necessary traits of a person to become a good fit for your offering. Mind their age, gender, location, income, occupation, and interests. If you set these right, you\u2019ll deliver your message to the right audience, resulting in more qualified leads.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>3. Ad budget<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best budgeting strategy you can choose to<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> validate a startup idea<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is to define a limited sum that you can spend to test the idea. Allocate a budget of $10 to $20 that will be spent over several days. This way you ensure that people will see your ad at the most appropriate time. Besides, you will know at what time it\u2019s best to show your ads to your target audience.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b><i>TIP: <\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marketing expert Dennis Yu from BlitzMetrics has developed an extremely effective Dollar-a-Day strategy. You prepare a couple ads for awareness, engagement and conversion purposes. This way you\u2019ll ensure that you\u2019re reaching the customers at different stages of their buyer\u2019s journey. Then, limit the daily spendings for each of them to $1 a day. Run the campaign, and show a sequence of ads to your target audience. This will make prospects more aware of your brand before you try to sell anything to them. <\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mind, however, that this strategy is applicable to the goods or services that require some time for decision making. In terms of consumer goods, you would want an immediate response as they are pretty affordable.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Publish_articles_on_local_online_media_100-200_%E2%80%93_easy_business_validation_idea\"><\/span><b>2.

A sponsored article in, say, Forbes or Times will cost you thousands of dollars while exposing you to a huge audience. The question is how many of those people will eventually buy from you. You should know that this kind of media doesn\u2019t boast specific targeting, showing your offering to anyone from a housewife to a CEO. So, in case you have a local business, this will be nothing but a money drain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if you go for a smaller and more specific resource, say, your local lifestyle portal, you will reach your target audience, while keeping the campaign within your budget. A sponsored article or mention there might cost you below $200, which is a good value for money. This will give you initial exposure, helping you <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">validate your business idea.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b><i>TIP: <\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Journalists are constantly looking for people who can present an expert opinion on some subjects.

Choose the show<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a lot of different trade shows and <a href=\"https:\/\/weblium.com\/conference-website-builder\">conferences<\/a> varying in size and number of attendees. You\u2019ll need to choose between large international conferences and smaller local shows. The costs will only include the entrance fee and a display place. They won\u2019t exceed $200 in case of local conferences but may be larger at international events.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>2. Set your goals<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of whether you\u2019re trying just to show a prototype, find initial users, attract investors or sell the first products straight away.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>3. Prepare marketing materials<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An attractive stand at the trade show will help you attract more visitors. Remember about printed materials, specifications, business cards, banners, and interactive videos. This will help you explain what your product is for and how it works. Don\u2019t forget about transportation, especially if you have a bulky prototype.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>4. Evaluate the success<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set specific metrics of success and failure, like the number of people who attend your stand, those who give you their contacts or the number of promo materials you give out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good thing about trade shows and conferences is that you will understand if your product or service solves one\u2019s problem. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s more, you\u2019ll be able to find your first users\/customers\/testers. They\u2019ll know you in person and, therefore, will be more apt to give you relevant feedback, buy from you, and even recommend you to their friends and colleagues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Such initial feedback will help you <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">validate your business idea<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and understand whether it\u2019s worth realization without spending a fortune on building the entire product and promoting it. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Validate_demand_with_classified_ads_0-100\"><\/span><b>4.
