From Idea to Product in 4 Weeks

Joining the kickoff is optional. However, it will help you to:

1. Get to know me - and ask me questions about the course
2. Get to know your peers - one of the best things about joining a cohort course is that you learn together. I have noticed that every cohort starts as strangers and ends as friends - and lean upon each other even after the course ends.
3. We can get to know each other - if you still haven't, do introduce yourself in the forum and we can have some fun!

I would like to dive right into the topic in the first session so that we cover the maximum topics in the four weeks, so please join the kickoff if you are able to, and we can have a relaxed start on this day!

We will dive deep into the no-code world this week. It is a world that is exponentially getting more complex with new tools getting added each day! It can easily get overwhelming and confusing on which tools to use for your project. We will tease out what is important and what to look out for when choosing a no-code tool for your MVP.

At the end of the day, you should be able to understand:

• What is no-code and how does it differ from low-code and code
• What are the best tools for no-code and where to find them
• How to think like a developer when using no-code tools
• What are the limitations of using no-code tools

Today we will learn how to create landing pages to capture interest.

One of the biggest mistakes that entrepreneurs do is to not test/validate their ideas before launching. At the very least, you should have a list of emails through your landing site that (a) shows that people are interested to buy whatever you are building (b) be your first customers.

So we will dive in - and build not only one but three landing pages using three different tools (from easy to hard)!

(told you, this course will not be easy!)

At the end of the day, you should be able to learn :

1. About the best tools to create landing pages using no-code tools
2. How to turn these landing pages into websites that you can use for your startup
3. Decide for yourself what is your level of no-code customization are you comfortable in
4. How to think like a designer when you are creating a website
5. Be comfortable with any no-code tool when creating your website

We will spend the entire session going through everyone's Landing page.

The objective at the end of the day is to be clear on:

1. Is it clear what you are trying to sell (ie your USP) through your LP
2. What can we do to improve the LP

We will have an LP demo from each of you and then breakout sessions for feedback.

We will end the session with my feedback and suggestions on each LP.

Today, we will tease out which features you need to build for your MVP and what is the best tool to start building it on.

Once we decide on the tool, we will spend the rest of the week learning about that tool through tutorials.

The following week, we will start building the backend.

We will go through everyone's backend and look at the logic and there will be time for Q&A

I will go through the different tools that you can use for your front end.

We will go through everyone's product today and give each other feedback.

We will learn about how to automate tasks, integrate plugins and take your MVP to the next level.

We will also spend the last 30 minutes for Q&A
