PROBLEM:
You find a product that looks hot on TikTok, run a few ads, and… nothing. $0 sales, but $40 gone.
> Happened to me 3 times last month.
> The issue wasn’t the ads. It was that I was picking products based on “looks viral” instead of “looks like people actually want to buy this”.
> So I built a 10-min check I run before I touch any product now. It’s 4 questions:
> 1. Would I buy this if I saw it while scrolling at 11pm?
> 2. Can I explain what it does in 5 seconds without jargon?
> 3. Are people already complaining about the problem this solves in comments/Reddit?
> 4. If this flops, can I pivot the angle in 2 hours?
> Since I started using this, my test spend dropped and I stopped getting stuck on dead products.
> Curious what’s your biggest red flag when you’re checking a product?
> Drop it below and I’ll tell you if I’ve made that mistake too.
