Choosing the Right Product for You

Ask yourself these four questions:

1. Do I have existing expertise or audience in this niche? Products that align with what you already know sell faster.
2. Can I differentiate? If the market is saturated with identical products, you need a unique angle.
3. Is the margin sustainable? Revenue means nothing if costs eat your profit. Target 40%+ net margins.
4. Can I market this with content? Products that lend themselves to social media, blog posts, and email marketing scale more efficiently than products that rely solely on paid ads.

Start with one product, validate demand, then expand your catalog based on what your customers tell you they want.
