I have built 6+ apps. Some were successful, some not.

Now I always ask myself 8 questions before working on something new.

And I know the app will work if I get 8 YES.

Here are the questions.

>>> THREAD <<<

Before showing you the questions.

I didn't say that the app won't work if you get a "NO".

It will probably be harder.

1/ Did I start with a problem?

Don't lie to yourself. Sometimes you might think, "Yea, I started with a problem," but it's not the case.

Sometimes you invented the problem.

2/ Do I know exactly who's facing this problem?

If you tell me that everyone can use your app. Then you don't know.

3/ Do you know where the people are online (a lot of them)?

If you only know where 3 of them are, then sorry.

4/ Do I have the technical knowledge to make the app?

You or your friend, or someone you hired. Do you know how you'll create the app?

5/ Did I find at least 10 people interested in the app?

It should be easy if you said YES to all the previous questions.

It will also help you understand if you answered correctly.

6/ Do I know how the first version of the app will be, and am I able to do it in less than 2 weeks?

Not 2 months. Not 1 month. If you've answered "yes" to all the previous questions, think about how you can lower the time to market for your app.

7/ Do the target people have enough money to pay for my app?

You can have the greatest idea ever. If you're targeting people who don't have any money, you'll fail.

8/ Am I ready to fail?

It's weird. I told you that you'd succeed if you answered YES to all the questions.

Yet I'm asking if you're ready to fail.

Because it will take you time to succeed.

If you need money fast. Suppose you are limited in resources. You'll mess it up.
