| Step | Tool (Free) | Time | What You Do & What You Get |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Grok / Claude / Gemini | 30 min | Feed 50–100 recent Reddit/X/IndieHackers complaints about your niche. Prompt: “Extract the top 10 pains people repeatedly mention and rank by emotional intensity.” → Instant pain list |
| 2 | Grok + X Advanced Search | 45 min | Search your top 3 pains on X with filters: “pain keyword” min_faves:50 since:2024-01-01 → See how many viral posts exist. 5+ posts with 100+ likes each = strong signal |
| 3 | ChatGPT / Claude | 20 min | Write a 3-line “magic solution” offer: “I built an AI that does X for you in 60 seconds so you never have to Y again – $99/mo” |
| 4 | Carrd or Dora (free plan) | 60 min | Make a one-page site with the offer, a fake “Join Waitlist” button, and Stripe pre-order link (set to $1 or free) |
| 5 | Grok / Claude | 30 min | Generate 5 viral Twitter/LinkedIn threads showing “before vs after” screenshots (fake them with Midjourney free trial if needed) |
| 6 | Post on X / LinkedIn / Relevant Subreddits | 24–72 hrs | Share the threads + link to your page. Track: visits, waitlist sign-ups, DMs saying “take my money” |
| 7 | Google Sheets (free) | 5 min | Goal: 25+ sign-ups or 5+ “shut up and take my money” DMs in 72 hours → VALIDATED. Less than 10 → pivot or kill |
