Unlock the Secret Formula Behind Building a Game-Changing Minimum Viable Product
When you release a Minimum Viable Product rapidly, you now have incentive to improve it, because now you’re hearing from actual users. And they may well have ideas for making it better that you never thought of.
What Does a Minimum Viable Product Have to Do With Novelists?
Everything.
Novelists create many different kinds of things that could be released rapidly as a Minimum Viable Product. Here are a few examples:
- A scene to show to your critique group
- A synopsis to take to a writing conference
- A proposal to show to agents and editors
- A first draft to show to your critique buddy
- A second draft to show to your editor
- A final draft to hand off to your proofreader
- An author website
- An author newsletter
- A landing page for an email signup form
- A marketing plan
- An advertising campaign
Nobody will ever get any of these perfect on the first try. You should absolutely do your best to make it as good as you can. But you should also recognize that small is beautiful and fast is better than perfect.
