My Step-by-Step Framework for Validating App Ideas (2026)

Описание: Turn Google Search results into structured data for your apps with SerpAPI → https://serpapi.link/yatb-march

One of the most common questions I get is: how do you actually come up with SaaS or app ideas that make money? After building 14+ apps over the past few years and scaling my latest startup to around $5K/month, I’ve developed a simple framework for finding and validating software ideas before I spend months building them.

In this video I break down my entire app idea generation and validation process. We’ll cover how to find real problems worth solving, why copying existing apps is often the best strategy for solo developers, and the exact validation checks I use before committing to building a new product.

I also walk through the marketing-first mindset that most developers ignore. Before writing a single line of code, I always ask one question: can I actually market this product? Because the biggest reason most apps fail isn’t bad code… it’s lack of distribution.

If you’re trying to build a micro SaaS, indie hacker project, or startup, this video will give you a practical framework you can use to find ideas, validate them, and increase your chances of building something people actually pay for.
