## Common Mistakes 1. **Chasing single-platform spikes.** A product goes viral on TikTok and the seller places an order the same day without checking whether search volume, marketplace data, or any other source confirms purchasing intent. Many viral videos generate entertainment engagement but not buyer behavior. Always require multi-source confirmation before committing capital. 2. **Ignoring the velocity of competitor entry.** The seller validates a demand signal and begins sourcing, but does not monitor how quickly other sellers are entering the market. By the time inventory arrives 60 days later, the listing count has gone from 15 to 150 and the average selling price has dropped 40%. Track competitor entry rate weekly during your production and shipping pipeline.
