From Indie Founder by Tiago Ferreira

About this episode
Tiago Ferreira discusses product validation strategies, the importance of distribution, and recent Twitter drama regarding product launches.
I answer a listener question on product validation and the best way to launch new projects. I share why I prefer building a simple MVP over just creating landing pages, and why I believe organic traffic beats paid ads unless you’re an expert. I break down the role of distribution and audience in finding traction. I also discuss recent Twitter drama about the “shotgun to sniper” approach, and why I think distribution often matters more than just launching many products.
