In my last newsletter, I asked you to ask yourself…

 “Am I building something nobody asked for?”

Hopefully you answered, but based on one of my recent conversation, one of my clients asked the following…

How do you build something your audience actually wants, needs, and is willing to pay for?

The truth is… your ideas are the seed, but your audience’s feedback is the sunlight.

When I finally started paying attention to what creators were struggling with—visibility, monetization, burnout—that’s when Siembra Connect grew roots. Not when I was locked in Canva making cute slides for something I didn’t test.

It all comes down to one word: Validation.

Not the kind of “validation people seek with likes and shares…

The kind that tells you, “Yes, this solves my problem, and I’d pay for it.”

So today I will share a simple framework on how you can start building something that people need and would pay you to learn.

🌱 Try This: 3 Steps to Build with Purpose

1. Start Conversations, Not Campaigns
Get in the DMs. Ask your followers what they’re stuck on. Run a poll. Host a 15-min feedback call. People will tell you what they need—if you listen without trying to sell them something.

I do this via my engagement on Threads and My Ig Stories…. leading people to a cultivation call with me.

2. Build the Minimum Lovable Offer
Not perfect. Not polished. Just real. Put together a version of your idea that solves one specific pain point. Offer it to a small group at a beta rate in exchange for honest feedback. That’s your test lab.

I am currently testing two offers in my new Stan Store… based on live feedback from followers on IG.

3. Adjust Based on Results, Not Feelings
What did they love? What confused them? Did they refer anyone? Did they ask for more? Refine the offer using their responses. Remember—clarity comes from action, not perfection.

I have customized a few offers based on my intake questionnaire.

💬 Community Reflection:

What’s one thing your audience has asked you for in the last 30 days? Are you building toward that—or avoiding it because it scares you?

Don’t just build what’s in your head—build what’s in their hearts.
