Finding winning products and verify it with all stats. 

As we know that we are going to invest a big amount of money and time on the product, we need to be ready. The product from each angle must be showing green signals. As everyone knows “haste makes waste”, so be careful while finalizing the product. A common mistake made by 50% product researchers is that they bring the product to the criteria, instead of bringing the criteria for the product! Match the products with criteria, check that either the product is feasible to sell or not!

Pro Tip: Verify the product from 2,3 experts as well, don’t use the same product researcher for this, do this step in a parallel manner! 

Finding Improvements which you need in the product. 

Why do we do this?

If everyone is selling the same product we will have a 10-50% sales probability. 10% in the case of starting the product when we have low reviews, while 50% when we will have the same reviews as our competitor!

When we will have an improved product then sales probability is 50-80%, 50% when we have low reviews and 80% when we have the same reviews as our competitor! 

How can we find the improvements of the products?

You can find the improvements by reading the customer reviews about the product, read negative or 1 star reviews, get ideas, why this product is getting that 1 star reviews and how we can fix it? 

How can we add creativity in the product? 

We can have creativity ideas by reading the customer’s questions and reviews, we get the ideas, what customers are expecting with this product? 

Difference between creativity and improvement of the product:

In creativity what do we do? We enhance the features, change the design or amend the functionality of the product!

While in improvement, we fix the bad points of the products which other sellers are facing.
