Depending upon how active the group is, you can get anywhere from zero to dozens of comments with thoughtful replies to your question.

Once a few people start responding to your post, nurture those conversations, keep them going, stir up a debate, share your thoughts on the subject matter.

After the post begins to lose a little momentum, send a personalized (private) message to the people who seemed most engaged in the conversation—asking them if they’d like to get updates on your project. If they’re up for it (some will be, some won’t be), ask them for their best email address so you can keep them in the loop and ask a couple more questions.

Replicate this process until you’ve built up an early feedback group of ideally, at least 25 – 50 people so that you’ll begin getting some diversity of opinion within your community.

Finding the right online communities.

From my experience, here are some of the best places and methods for afghanistan phone number database potential early feedback group members to give you feedback on what you’re building (even if you don’t know what exactly it’s going to be yet):

Standalone Online Communities.

AMEX Open Forum for Small Business Owners (broad)
Angel.co (focus on startup community)
Inbound.org (focus on email marketing and deciding between tools like ConvertKit vs AWeber vs Mailchimp)
GrowthHackers (focus on growth & marketing)
HackerNews (focus on startups and more technical projects/news)
Quora (broad)
ProductHunt (focus on startups and tech)
Bonus: Amazon Reviews (if you’re building a physical product)
Facebook Groups (Topical).

It’s best if you can find topically relevant groups to join—that’s where you’ll know without a doubt that your target audience already exists.

For example, if you’re working on validating a photography-related business idea, you should consider joining groups like Nikon Digital Camera & Photo Enthusiasts (26,000+ members), Nikon D750 Users (27,000+ members) and Nikon UK Photography (13,000+ members). I found these groups by searching for “Nikon” and clicking the ‘Groups’ sort tab at the top of the menu.
