This week, The Entrepreneurial You podcast invites Seth Kniep to share his wealth of knowledge on “How to Launch a New Business When All You Have Is A Dime.”

Here is a snippet of what Seth shared:

“First you find a product that is solving a problem and you make sure that the top competitors for that product that are selling it at least five of them have fewer than 100 reviews, which means if someone with less than a hundred reviews is selling really well, then you can launch a new product and probably sell it very well. Also, then you make sure it’s selling at least 12 to 15 times a day. That’s a general rule profit is more important than how many times it sells but that always ways indicates if between 12 and 15 minimum indicates, very strong demand for a product you find that product you make sure there aren’t too many reviews as using the criteria I mentioned and then you start reading the critical reviews and you ask yourself a simple question when I look at all the critical reviews or I should say the top-ranking critical reviews for the top competitor What are the customer saying that they don’t like about this product?”
