Want to test a #startup idea before committing time and (a lot of) money?

The basic idea goes like this:

  1. Set up a landing page for a business idea you want to test
  2. Then throw down, let's say, €200 on Google Ads to send it some relevant traffic
  3. Track the numbers to see how well it converts (15% or more is good)
  4. If you get a lot of interest, your idea is validated, and you build it out for real

    It's not ideal - you'll not get a statistically significant sample size on €200 - but it'll get you started.

    More tips ...
  • understand Google Ads first (and SEO)
  • get familiarized with Google Analytics (or similar)
  • use clear and specific CTAs
  • put a sign-up form behind the CTA to collect e-mails
  • keep ads costs low by using long-tail keywords

    So, the total cost - with the ads, website, domain, etc. - should be around €300.
