Waarom Je Product Niet Verkoopt (En Wat Eraan Te Doen)

Paul Veth Most entrepreneurs build the product first. Then they fall in love with it. Then nobody buys it. I know because I did the same thing for years. The Cinnamon Framework changed how I think about building a body of work. The topic is always free, the core is fixed. Every piece I make folds in the same structured concepts: Identity First, sell first, AI as a tool that amplifies who you are. It sounds simple. It is simple. But most people scatter. They write about ten different things and wonder why nothing sticks. The body of work never compounds because there is no cinnamon in it. With Identity First Media, I tested this live. I built the product in my head, found a way to show it to 20 to 50 entrepreneurs in five to ten minutes, and sent it out. Two people said 'send me the bill' before I had written a single line of code. That is sell first. That is also the cinnamon: the same Identity First logic running through everything I build and everything I say. Your cinnamon does not have to be complicated. Name the three to five concepts that are yours. Add them to 80% of what you put out. Watch the pieces start stacking instead of scattering. Save this carousel and list your cinnamon today. Seriously, do it now.

Paul Veth I know that stings. But think about what the alternative costs you. A major telecom I worked at spent two years, full team, building a new subscription model. National TV campaign. Banners in every shop across the Netherlands. Launch parties. And after three months, they pulled it. Nobody wanted it. Two years. Gone. I did the same thing for years with my own products and services. You fall in love with what you built, and that love makes you deaf to what the market is actually telling you. With Identity First Media I flipped it. I had the product in my head, found a way to show it to entrepreneurs in five to ten minutes, and reached out to around 20 to 50 people. Two of them said: send me the bill. That was my green light to start building. Sell first, then create. It's an old method. It works. Landing page with a waiting list, or a landing page with a buy button. You can test ten ideas in ten weeks. If you talk to your customers along the way, you'll score by your third to fifth idea at most. Your idea does not need more time to develop. It needs a real conversation with the market.
