What's the fastest way to test multiple subject matters or styles?

Spend 30-60 minutes brainstorming five to ten possible subject matters that are popular and that people are passionate about — specific famous people, landmarks, recognizable themes. Write them down. Then pick the five easiest for you to create (local subjects you can access without travel costs). Create and launch one per week if possible, doing a quick validation attempt with each. See which gets the most engagement, comments, and sales. This fast testing reveals what resonates without wasting months on a single direction that might not work.
