Waitlist Setup Guide

A seven-step sprint to capture demand before you build.

1
Build your landing page in an AI builder, Framer, or Carrd. Target: under 4 hours.
2
Set up email capture with Resend + a Google Sheet or Loops.so for free.
3
Write your waitlist confirmation email and keep it personal.
4
Post in 3 places the same day where your target user already hangs out.
5
DM every person who signs up within 24 hours.
6
When you hit 50 signups, do 10 video calls.
7
Only build after 3+ people say they will pay $X for it.

Subject: Quick question about [specific pain point]

Hi [Name],

I build SaaS products and I'm validating a problem I suspect you're dealing with:
