Idea Validation: From Idea to Paying Customer in One Day (Udemy.com)

It looks a bit outdated now in 2021. Even the webs the instructor shows look very old, like google, and some don't exist anymore. Also the instructor makes references to jump to some next lesson like wireframing that is not included in this course. Globally it is informative, although some sections seem just a bit narrowed down for the example, and not enough generic out of a mobile app scope.

Excelente curso. Evan es un gran maestro, sus lecciones son muy buenas y ágiles. Son prácticas e inmediatamente implementables. Es un curso muy útil para principiantes e intermedios. Tiene como un plus que aprendes rápidamente sobre marketing digital aunque este no es el objetivo principal.

Evan did a great job in taking you in this journey of idea validation. He shows how to do it in a step by step approach using more than an option. Although I found out there are some overlaps with some of Evan's other courses, however, this one is more focused on idea validation topic and how to get it done right. I already bought couple of Evan's courses and I expect them to be great as this one. In short, Highly recommended!

The course has a lot of excellent information, but some parts are outdated and need to be updated. For example, Adwords and Facebook interface shown is far different today, and input fields are not the same as when this lecture was made. However, I heard about many things I did not know about before taking this course.

Good, useful information. Recommend. However, I suggest that you enroll in Evan's "Idea To MVP" course instead of this one. At the end of this course, he says that this course is a subset of his "idea to MVP course". This detail should have been shown in the course description because I have halfway completed the other course. The techniques described in this course are not foolproof but they are important to keep in your bag of tricks. This course is based on digital marketing. If your product idea has better off-line potential, the tools in this course might not have any value. Even so, everyone should be fully aware of the digital alternative and use the experiments in this course to test your business potential for digital. Some of the details are outdated, although the course description indicates that it was recently updated. The course does not end properly. It might be a UDEMY problem. There is no way to get to the final two items - it puts you into a continuous loop of frustration at the end. Even with all this, I recommend this or the other course mentioned because it teaches a valuable philosophy that should be known by everyone in business.

If you've been through books on the topic (Running Lean, Nail It & Scale It) or know something about landing pages, it might seem somewhat basic. Though targeted for newbies, it's still quite valuable because it provided simpler, faster, and practical ways to validate--all inexpensively, which helps me take action! As I watched the videos sequentially, they seemed a bit disorganized as I was taking notes because the videos don't display the "section titles," nor was I aware when we moved to a new section. Only when I bounce back to the Udemy dashboard can I see how the course is organized by section.

Really good clear descriptions and explainations. Maybe some visuals would enhance the first couple of lectures? Some of the videos don’t link up or follow on well, you refer to content that isn’t there “in the next video, I’ll show you wire framing” and that video just isn’t there. I thought there was way too much time on SEM getting leads and advertising and not so much on the theory and practise of idea validation. The end was a bit of an anticlimax...kept looking for the next video and realised I was actually at the end? Go figure.

Evan really took time and broke down every aspect of taking a project from idea/inception to validation. The only part I objected to was course format, as in order of lectures. He discussed getting paid customers before we learned to actually pay for advertising (small budget) and actually test the idea.

This course content is very thorough and easy to follow. This course taught me how to quickly (and cheaply) see if my idea for a product or service would be something a customer is interested in. This will save me a lot of time, money and effort. The production quality is very high. It looks like the instructor set up a video studio in his company. There are no distractions in the background. Occasionally the audio volume varied slightly between video clips but that did not take away from the course. The instructor Evan is very knowledgeable, experienced, interesting and engaging. He also offered many resources to dig deeper and to do your idea validation for a very low cost. This is extremely valuable if you are an entrepreneur or business owner. You can repeat the procedure over and over again until you find a product/service customer show they are interested, before you actually build the product/service.

Good Content, but VERY distracting arm waving. I ended up using the course like a Podcast, and surfed other sites not watching the talking head sections. Slide and screen capture areas were good. Last 3rd of the course is missing. He promises to walk us through the teaching with a 'live' example, I think that became another paid course; disappointing.
