Who It’s For

Good fit if

  • You want the numbers before the storefront
  • You have seen the ads and want the unglamorous version
  • You want the failure modes named up front

Not for you if

  • You want a guaranteed-profit playbook — no such thing exists
  • You already run a store that is profitable

A Look Inside

Work the unit economics before you pick a product. Product cost, shipping, payment fees, ad cost per sale, refund rate. If what is left over is thin at one sale, volume does not rescue it — volume multiplies it.
