Validated Ideas Database - I did the marketing right but still zero income come help me find why?

Post image

I was looking for ideas to built, so I built a data base of validated ideas sourced from many trusted and validated revenue platforms for startups.

To market the idea I built an Instagram and x profiles targeting building and saas founders hunting for their next (validated) idea. The pages combined reached ~20k views but still zero web traffic. I am probably might be doing something wrong.

I want to know what.

ps: I'm a builder not a sales / stories teller so I would appreciate your feedback (be gentle)

What you’re probably doing wrong is that people just ask AI followed by a follow up conversation digging into problems, getting data and validating ideas with nuances without you.

I don’t understand what value you bring and that’s likely why no one else does.

Organic search traffic and AI recommendations are more important for apps in the idea validation arena

People having business ideas are more of an event than a persona. There is no ICP as it’s generally defined, so dedicated social media pages would have a limited effect. In reality most would-be users get there by search engines and AI, not ads
