Avoid These Common Product Research Mistakes

Why it fails: Viral products often have short lifecycles and become oversaturated quickly.

Better approach: Look for products with consistent, growing trends across multiple platforms over several months.

❌ Mistake: Ignoring Profit Margins

Why it fails: High revenue doesn’t mean high profit. Hidden costs can eliminate profitability.

Better approach: Use our profit calculator to account for ALL costs before launching any product.

❌ Mistake: Choosing Oversaturated Niches

Why it fails: High competition drives up advertising costs and reduces profit margins.

Better approach: Use niche validation to find opportunities with growing demand but moderate competition.

❌ Mistake: Poor Keyword Research

Why it fails: Without proper keywords, potential customers can’t find your products.

Better approach: Research keywords across all platforms where your customers spend time.

Advanced Product Research Tips from Industry Experts

💡 Seasonal Opportunity Mining

Use our trending tool to identify seasonal products 2-3 months before peak season. This gives you time to build inventory, optimize listings, and establish market presence before competitors catch on.

💡 Cross-Platform Validation

A product trending on TikTok but not on Google might be a short-term fad. Look for products gaining traction across multiple platforms for sustainable demand.

💡 Micro-Niche Targeting

Instead of “fitness equipment,” target “resistance bands for seniors” or “yoga props for beginners.” Micro-niches have less competition and higher conversion rates.

💡 Profit Margin Buffer

Always aim for at least 25% profit margins after all costs. This provides buffer for unexpected expenses, returns, and market fluctuations.

💡 Competitor Product Gap Analysis

Use our competitor spy tool to find products that successful stores AREN’T selling. These gaps represent untapped opportunities in proven niches.
