In this episode, I break down the "one product trap" that causes so many promising eCommerce businesses to crash after initial success. You'll learn why relying on a single winning product can be dangerous, how competition erodes your margins, and the critical mistakes founders make when introducing their second product. I share a real-life case study of a furniture brand that scaled to 500K/month before declining — and the strategic moves that could have saved it. You’ll walk away with practical steps for product iteration, research, and testing so you can grow your store sustainably and avoid getting stuck between a rock and a hard place.🤔 Who Am I?Hi, I'm Jandre, founder of V8 Media!
