How do you move from just an idea to actual product?

Wireframes, building flows, prototyping, usability testing, first designs, alpha version launch, feedback gathering, data analysis, fixing bugs, adding features, design polishing, next version release, etc

What is the idea you have? Let us help!

I'm thinking a lot about the idea, read about similar products and try to form a vision of my product in my mind. During this process, I keep a lot of notes with possible features, possible users, how to reach my users, how to do marketing at all or what business model will fit it. Having a strong SEO background, I'm also looking for search queries where people are searching for solutions similar to what I have in mind. This is an early and easy validation of my idea. At this point, I know how the product could look like. Now I start to code the core functions to see if I'm able to work out the potential show-stoppers. Integrating these core functions in a well working UI gives me an early version, that can be tested for functionality and usability. Creating a landing page for the product and offering my early version as a alpha/beta test to users helps to improve it and make a polished product.

I think it's just important to put something out there as quick as possible because your first version of the product won't be very good.
