In this solo talk, Joshua Fraser outlines a rapid‑launch framework for creating a million‑dollar business over a weekend. He begins by emphasizing the need to secure ten initial customers, citing Noah Kagan’s “Million Dollar Weekend” case study where Kagan launched a beef‑jerky product by tapping his email list and contacts. Fraser then recommends using lightweight survey tools—Google Forms or its prettier alternatives—to validate demand and gather feedback. He highlights two free research resources: Google Trends for spotting emerging interest and Semrush for spying on competitors’ ad strategies. By combining these tactics, entrepreneurs can estimate the total addressable market (TAM) and craft a clear product‑market‑fit angle before any launch.

Chapters

How can you build a million dollar business in a weekend? The first thing that you can do is go out and find 10 customers. One of my favorite books I most recently read was the Million Dollar Weekend by Noah Kagan. He does it with beef jerky. He went through his email list, he went through his friend and contact list and he had asked them questions. He just used this. I think it was a Google form type. Form is like a new form of Google form. It's a little bit prettier, easier to use, but it's something we use with estate as well to talk to our users. Now my favorite thing to use though is Google Trends. You can go into Google Trends, it's free and you can see trending on the Internet Semrush. You can actually look at people's ads that they're running for their products to check out competitors in that space. So I would highly recommend before you launch anything, study those things and figure out what's the total addressable market of your product and what's going to be your angle to find that product market fit.
