What to Notice on Every Product Page
Read the title — specific wins. "Freelance Invoice Tracker" beats "Business Template"
Read the first 3 reviews — buyers describe the exact problem and why they bought
Check the price — if 10+ similar products cost $27–$47, that's your price ceiling
Notice the format — PDF guide? Notion template? Spreadsheet? What dominates in that niche?
Count similar listings — 50+ similar products = proven demand, not oversaturated
