Study the product and the market. Your product may go better in another country.

Be prepared that you will not meet the deadlines and budget, so prepare blanc B and even C.

Do you have an idea yet? If you do, just start! Thanks to tools like ChatGPT, now when you get stuck on something, it can help you solve it in minutes instead of hours. It's an incredible time for product builders right now!

If you have specific questions, I'm happy to answer them! I've been in business since 2009 and built a SaaS used by thousands of customers in more than 100 countries. No funding, no cofounder, no college.

- Identify a specialized market and focus exclusively on it. If your product doesn't naturally fit within AI, avoid incorporating AI 😅. - Develop a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) solution, gather feedback, and iterate for enhancements. - Embrace transparency and openness by sharing your progress through platforms like "build in public" trend. - Acknowledge that sales can be challenging, persist in your efforts and continue refining your product.

Start small and test. Also, if you've never coded before don't set the expectation that you'll learn Python this week and build ChatGPT next week :-D

If you have technical skills, try to think and learn about how you are actually going to sell the product at an early stage.
Research your product's market, gather feedback, and listen to those who will potentially use your product. Doing the above will help you focus on developing a product people want and need.

Start by researching your audience's needs. Prototype, test, and iterate to create a user-friendly solution. Stay agile, be patient, and listen to user feedback. Keep it simple, focus on one core problem. Embrace challenges and stay committed to success. Good luck on your journey! 🚀

oh, absolutely. start with a problem. that you've personally experienced. that you deeply care about solving. then, empathize. with the others facing it. understand their pain points. next, ideate. for potential solutions. consider different angles. after, build. your minimum viable product (MVP). test your assumptions. then, gather. feedback from your users. iterate and refine based on it. but most importantly, persist. in the face of challenges. keep faith in your vision. building a product is a journey, not a destination. enjoy the process!

Start from the beginning and don't stop till it's done

Thank you for your question! Developing a product is an exciting journey that comes with its challenges and rewards. Based on our experience with ProApp, we'd suggest focusing on three key aspects: 1) Identifying a genuine problem to solve, 2) Engaging with your target audience for valuable feedback, and 3) Iterating constantly to improve your product. We'd love to share more insights and be there to support you during your launch and beyond. Feel free to connect with us on Product Hunt, and we'll be thrilled to assist you in any way we can!

Solve a problem. Nothing more matters. Everything we use today to some extent has solved a problem.
