🌐 Community-Driven MVP 🎯

When it comes to building your Minimum Viable Product (MVP), the strategies are as diverse as the businesses themselves. Whether it is through landing pages, videos, crowdsourcing, or manual services, the key lies in aligning your approach with the resources at your disposal.

In certain domains where community engagement is paramount, such as Health and Wellness, Local Business Services, Community-based initiatives, Social Impact projects and Gaming, I highly recommend building a community first.

 Here is what you should be doing.

1️⃣ Creating Communities- Create online spaces or forums where you can engage with your audience and share insights.

2️⃣ Driving Content- Share valuable content aligned with your product or service. This could include blog posts, articles, and engaging multimedia content that resonates with your community.

3️⃣ Newsletters-Keep your community informed about updates, milestones, and exclusive content. 

4️⃣ Educational Video Sessions-Host video sessions to educate your community about your industry, the problems you aim to solve, and how your MVP addresses those challenges. Educational content builds trust and positions your brand as an authority.

5️⃣Organizing Events-Plan and execute virtual or local events, such as webinars, workshops, or meetups. These events provide a platform for direct interaction, feedback collection, and community bonding.

I have few founders in my network whom I have suggested to follow this approach, where it could have been good for my business to build whatever they were requesting, knowing very well that it was set to fail. But this is not why I launched Prodgen, even if it means losing such opportunities. ProdGen creates success together!

✅Building an Audience for Validation.

This community-driven approach serves a dual purpose—it not only fosters a sense of belonging and engagement but also strategically builds an audience for validating your MVP. 

📣Why Community Matters.

Communities become advocates, spreading the word, and providing invaluable insights during the MVP development phase. They form a loyal user base that is not just there for the product but for the journey.
