If Only I Could Code

You don't need to learn to code to validate and build digital products - understanding validation and no-code tools is the real path forward

"If I only knew how to code..."

I can't tell you how many times I've heard that over the past 15 years from so many people.

People have ideas. People say they want something to exist. People can see what's missing for people like them...but they don't know where to start with turning that idea into an actual, digital product.

People often think that they have to learn how the entire process for building software for others to start using the thing they've come up with.

The two biggest lies that people believe about turning their idea into a digital product are:

  • I know the idea will "make millions" if it only existed
  • The only thing keeping it from existing is that I can't write code

This is immediately evident when you ask anyone who knows how to write code if they know someone who has said, "hey, I have an idea about something, would you build it for me?"

Here's what you need to know about building digital products:

  • You can validate your idea without ever writing a line of code
  • Once you've validated your idea, the path to turning it into a real digital product isn't nearly as involved as "learn to build software".

If you are the kind of person who thinks "I have ideas for a digital product" but you don't know where to start, I can help you.
