I've helped dozens of people launch their first e-commerce stores. The #1 reason beginners fail? Bad product selection.

Here are the 3 product types that look appealing but almost always lose money:

1. Trendy gadgets from TikTok — By the time you see it on your feed, 500 other stores already sell it. Margins get destroyed in the ad auction.

2. Anything under $15 — Your ad cost per purchase will eat your entire margin. You need room to breathe.

3. "Passion products" with no demand — Just because you love it doesn't mean strangers will buy it. Check search volume before you fall in love.

What actually works for beginners:

• Problem-solving products in the $25-60 range

• Items with visual "wow factor" that stop the scroll

• Products with repeat purchase potential (consumables, accessories)

The best product isn't the coolest one — it's the one with healthy margins, real demand, and low competition.

If you want the full playbook on product research, store setup, and scaling with paid ads, that's exactly what we teach inside Shop Mob.

Welcome to the crew. You just made the best investment in your e-commerce journey.

Here's how to get the most out of your membership:

1. Start with the E-Commerce Blueprint course — it walks you through product research, store setup, and launching your first ads step by step.

2. Jump into Community Chat — introduce yourself, share your niche, and connect with other sellers. Nobody builds alone here.

3. Check Announcements regularly — I drop new strategies, supplier leads, and ad breakdowns here weekly.

If you have questions, ask in the chat. There are no dumb questions — only expensive ones you don't ask.

Let's get to work.
