Hey Forum Fam!

Confession: I'm that person always in 'analysis paralysis' mode—dreaming up perfect products but never acting. Everyone talks about MVPs, and honestly, I'm wondering: can setting up a landing page and driving traffic really test the waters?

So, I've set aside $300 and 2 weeks. My gut tells me it’s too simplistic and might flop. But, I'm pushing past my hesitation. I'm aiming for action over inaction.

The Experiment: Gauge interest in a course about proactive longevity strategies.

My Concerns:
  • Health topics are touchy. FYI, I'm not a doc.
  • Aiming to collect 60 emails. Sounds ambitious? It means $5/email on a landing page that frankly lacks flair. Thoughts?
Dived into the deep end and picked Leadpages (they had a trial). Gave it an hour. Not proud of the output, but remember: action over perfection. Is it even good enough, or should I pump in more cash for better quality? Despite the self-doubt, I'm forging ahead!

Speaking of the landing page, take a look: My Quickfire Landing Page. (Please don't sign up so we can keep our stats accurate)

Set up a Google campaign (LinkedIn wasn't playing nice with my new account, and Facebook ads? Never been there). Chat GPT lent a helping hand.

Here’s a sneak peek of the Google Campaign, and yep, it's as basic as it gets, and nope, I'm not beaming with pride over it: Google Ads Preview

Your Thoughts? Do you think this test has any validity, given the 'quick and dirty' approach to the landing page and ads?

Expectations are low, but if this experiment gives me even a couple of actionable insights, I'll consider it a win.

Back soon with updates! Would love to hear your insights and tips in the meantime.
