  └─ Estimate monthly revenue per product + total store revenue
        ↓
STEP 2 — Best-Seller Pattern Recognition
  └─ What do the top 10 products have in common?
  └─ Price point sweet spot for this niche

        ↓
STEP 3 — SEO Keyword Extraction

⚡ Pro Tips

• Memorial & grief products command 3x the price — highest margin, lowest competition, most loyal buyers
• Reviews under 500 with strong sales = your entry point — beatable without months of grinding
• Add a listing video on day 1 — Etsy algorithmically boosts listings with video by default
• TikTok process videos drive free Etsy traffic — "watch me list this product" format converts like crazy
• Price low to launch, raise after 25 reviews — the algorithm rewards momentum, not margins
