Turn Your Idea Into a Mini-Product in 72 Hours
Last issue, I promised to show you how to turn a tweet or idea into a tiny, shippable product in just 72 hours.
The goal? Build momentum, learn fast, and validate early.
Because your idea isn’t real until it ships.
Let’s break it down.
3-Day Mini Product Sprint
Day 1: Extract the pain point
→ What problem does your idea solve?
→ Who’s actively searching for a solution?
Day 2: Build a super simple version
→ Use Notion, Google Docs, Canva, or Tally
→ Create a checklist, toolkit, worksheet, or micro-course
Day 3: Package + Share
→ Add a landing page (Carrd or Gumroad)
→ Post it with a clear story on Twitter, Reddit, or Indie Hackers
⚡️ Tip: Focus on transformation over features.
Can your product help someone go from A → B in 20 minutes?
Tool of the Week
🛠️ Notion – Rapidly build eBooks, templates, and guides without touching code.
Quick Tip
If your product requires more than 3 steps to explain, it’s too big. Shrink it down until it’s painfully clear.

Next issue: You’ve built something—now how do you get people to see it? I’ll show you how to drive free, targeted traffic from Reddit (without being spammy).
