This Clever Hack Validated His $10M/Year Business

Wesley Tian is the founder of Aragon, an AI headshot generator.

Launched 3 years ago, it’s now pulling in $10M per year 💰

How Wesley validated the idea…

With $15k-$20k in savings, I started launching apps full time to see what people wanted. I soon had a site with 12 “apps” with waitlists. People liked the apps where you could change your appearance.

So he didn’t actually build out any of those 12 apps initially 🙅

Instead, he set up simple landing pages where people could sign up for a waitlist if they liked the sound of the app.

• Few signups = nobody wants this
• Many signups = shut up and take my money

Use the same approach to test out your own ideas 😎

You could also try offering this as a productized service: build out landing pages for other people’s ideas, drive traffic, collect emails, report back.
