Omar Zenhom explains how to validate a business idea before building it. Check if people are actually searching for solutions or spending money on alternatives, then use Google Trends and Exploding Topics to measure real demand.
To know if your idea has potential. You need evidence. You need proof. This isn't about hunches, it's about data. The first thing we're going to validate is the problem. Is this problem that I'm trying to solve, a problem people are actively trying to solve. So how do you do this? Well, you look for proof. Are people searching for solutions online to this problem? Are they already spending money on alternatives? Use tools like Google Trends or Exploding Topics. Great, great tool to figure out if these ideas, if these solutions are being researched.
