How do I determine the likelihood of success for my new online platform?

You can do this through market research in practice.

Most entrepreneurs with an idea ask friends and family first what they think of their concept. Usually, these reactions are overwhelmingly positive, but they give a distorted view of reality.

Your friends and family do not want to offend you and therefore talk enthusiastically with you. They usually provide too little criticism. You have less to gain from this. Of course, it is nice to receive compliments about your idea. But you will not benefit much from that. You come further with criticism. If you ask a group of strangers for feedback, you will get different feedback. This is because this group does not personally know you and has a realistic view of your idea. They are not afraid to give criticism because they don't know you. That's good. Through criticism, you will find out what is missing or what they would do differently, for example.

Why test in practice first?

Through these tests, you get a realistic idea of your idea. And if you have a chance of success. Without having developed products or a full community yet.
