The validation piece I don't understand. From first sale to first dip to each peak and fall when was the validation reached? First sale, 1k revenue?

You can find 5 users who will pay but that doesn't validate a million a month.

What does product validation mean here.

I only have a product that makes $6k per month, but from my point of view, the validation is how many paying users sign up per day. Even one per day can add up. Hope this helps.

If you can make 6k per month. You can probably get to 60k per month.

Could you share what worked for you? Is it B2B/b2c? I guess that matters too for the type of marketing to focus on?
