You only need to get four things right to start a successful online store in 2026.

After 14 years running online stores full-time, I've seen the same pattern over and over. 😅

You pick trendy products that disappear in six months. You price based on what competitors charge and race straight to the bottom. 💸😩

You spend weeks designing the perfect website. You're posting on Instagram every day and getting nowhere.

If I started over today? I'd focus on just four things in the first 30 days.✨

In this video, I'm walking you through all four:
✅ The Moat Test: how to pick products that sells and competitors can't copy
✅ The trick that makes your store name unforgettable
✅ The pricing formula for profit, not just costs
✅ Why Etsy is risky and what to build instead so you own your business

Planning to launch in 2026? Watch this now and get your foundation solid from day one.
