your niche and researching your competition okay i want to show you a quick example so i
came over here to etsy.com now you have customers coming over here and buying products every single
day okay just like amazon just like any other online platform where you can sell products on

you can use this to research you know either finding your niche to seeing if there's a demand
in there or researching your competition and seeing like what they're selling and what you
can bring to the market that's different than them so you can make sales too as well so for example

if our print on demand you know provider offers this you know this is a top seller in the niche
you can see when you see stuff like this when you have 13 people added it to cart that's a
very very powerful thing right there because that means you know people are really passionate they
added this product 13 times to the cart and then in the reviews you can see that there's reviews
people are leaving photo reviews and they're doing look at and they have a picture of the bulldog
with the product which is powerful right because what does that mean that means that the customer
purchased the product got the product they're happy with the product and showed it to the actual

to be building our website on shopify shopify is probably one of the coolest platforms like
when it comes to building a website and all that stuff it's pretty much straightforward and really
easy as long as you're not messing with none of the coding and stuff like that because that can be
a little frustrating right because you know i've messed with it a few times i'm like dude
