Currently, the data suggests that proving real demand exists is your primary hurdle. Tread carefully and validate.

Recommendations

1. Start by posting in online communities where people interested in psychedelics might gather. These could include forums, subreddits, or specialized groups. Clearly articulate the problem you're solving and gauge the level of interest in your trip-sitting service. Don't just promote; engage in thoughtful discussions.
2. Offer to manually provide trip-sitting services to 2-3 potential users. This will give you invaluable firsthand experience and allow you to refine your approach based on real-world feedback. Consider offering this service for free or at a heavily discounted rate initially.
3. Create a short, compelling explainer video that clearly communicates the benefits of having a trip sitter and how your service works. Track how many people watch the video fully, as this is a good indicator of genuine interest. Keep the video concise and focus on the peace of mind and safety aspects.
4. Set up a waiting list and ask for a small, non-refundable deposit to join. This deposit signals a real commitment from potential users and helps you gauge the seriousness of their interest. Be transparent about when they can expect the service to be available.
5. Based on feedback from 'Vivid Pyschedelic Tracking Journal,' prioritize user feedback. If you build an app or digital component, make sure your development cycle involves constant feedback and improvements based on user experience. Don't build in a vacuum!
6. Track your progress closely. If you can't find at least 5 genuinely interested people within 3 weeks, it might be time to reconsider your approach or niche down further. Don't be afraid to pivot or refine your idea based on market response.
