Meta Product Sense: Pick a Musician Segment and Build Something They Need

You are a product manager at Meta. Design a new product for musicians: decide which musicians it serves and what problem it solves for them, and explain how you would know it is working. ```hint Narrow "musicians" first Touring professionals, independent artists building a following, session players and weekend hobbyists want very different things. Pick the group whose problem Meta's apps are unusually well placed to solve before listing features. ``` ### Clarifying Questions - Should the product live inside Instagram, Facebook or WhatsApp, or may it be a standalone app? - Do you mean people who make, or want to make, money from music, people who play for fun, or is that my call? - Which goal matters most to Meta here: new users, engagement and retention, more original content, or revenue? - Is this a software product only, or is hardware such as a headset or smart glasses in scope? ### What a Strong Answer Covers - A goal tied to Meta's strengths and a reasoned choice of one musician segment, with the reason other segments wait - Pain points specific to that segment, prioritized by severity and by how well Meta can address them - A few distinct solutions, one scoped into an MVP, with what is deliberately left out - Success metrics for musicians and for their audiences, with guardrails - Music-specific risks: copyright and ownership disputes, spam, and getting both musicians and listeners to show up ### Follow-up Questions - How would the product help musicians earn money, and how would Meta make money, without putting off their fans? - How would you stop people from uploading songs they do not own? - Musicians sign up in large numbers but listeners rarely engage with their music. What would you change?
