Nine chapters, written to be used rather than just read.

Pick one promise

Turn a vague idea into a single sentence a stranger understands in five seconds.

2

Build the smallest version

Decide what to leave out so you can ship in weeks, not months.

3

Find your first ten users

Real ways to reach early customers without ads or a big audience.

4

Price with confidence

A simple method for choosing a price, and what to say when people push back.

5

Plan launch week

A day-by-day schedule that keeps you steady instead of scrambling.

6

Learn from what happens

Read the first numbers and feedback, then decide what to do next.

This is for you if

  • You are launching your first product or side project
  • You work alone or with one or two others
  • You want a plan, not a pile of inspiration

Probably not for you if

  • You are raising money for a large team
  • You need deep technical build instructions
  • You already have a proven launch routine

What format is the guide?

A PDF for reading on any screen, plus an ebook file for e-readers. The checklists are print-friendly.

Do I need any experience?

No. It starts from the idea stage and explains each step in plain language.

How long does it take to read?

Most people read it in an evening, then work through one chapter a week alongside the plan.

Will it work for my kind of product?

It is written for small digital products and services. If yours is very different, read the free chapter first.
