Newsletter 21st November 2021: Worried about too much competition? 🎉& today’s freebie and steals

by | Newsletters

Hi

I often get asked questions via email. Some of them I can even answer LOL

Many, I have to Google, which the asker could have done too without the middlewoman. 🤣

But today I had this one in my inbox.

“I’d love to start a…business, but I’m worried it’s oversaturated”

I love this question!

So I’m answering it here, because I’m sure it prevents many from even starting a business.

The thing is, no matter what you do, if you choose a business model that works, the competition is enormous.

(And even if you find a new successful low competition business model, it won’t be long before others catch on.)

So competition is a fact of life, but as long as buyers are still buying, there’s no such thing as oversaturation preventing sales being made.

People don’t say, there are just too many cereals on the supermarket shelf so I’m not going to buy cereal any more.

For the consumer, choice is good.

They are more likely to find the cereal that hits the spot.

Of course, for the seller, competition means you have to up your game a little bit.

You need something that differentiates you from the competition.

If you create a so-so “me too” product, sales will elude you, especially if you’re a new entrant into the marketplace. That’s why you won’t find me promoting products with an easy “create this” button. It’s too easy to drink the Koolaid and think you can churn out a profit. (Generally, it’s only the sellers of the Koolaid and those who promote them who benefit.)

Buyers will just yawn and move right on by your “me too” product as if you just produced a new box of cornflakes.

Focus on creating a fantastic product of the non-cornflake variety and competition is irrelevant. The buyers who love it will buy.

Every market I’ve ever been in has been “oversaturated” but there’s always room for just one more: one more blog on the topic of your choice, one more steamy romance novel, one more coloring book or planner template, one more web design. Luckily, there are 4.66 billion active internet users in the world and not all of them have discovered you (or me!) yet! 😊

I could really get into zentangling after seeing the handddrawn pages in these packages, though at the moment, all I’m coloring in are the blocks on my goals chart for the month and trying to stay one step ahead of the crazy. 🤣

Anyway, if your audience loves coloring, take a look at these beauties before the launch ends. Such a good deal for original pages you can only get from Ruthie. No coupon required.

That individual feedback is priceless.

So even if you only have an idea in your head of a product that you would like to create in the future. Take your idea and run with it in this course, and you’ll have a fully fleshed out sales page by the end, so good that you’ll want to buy your own product!

Great course on rare sale…

I love Michelle’s Passive Income Planner Girl course because it has everything you need to build a business on Etsy and then teaches you how to take it way beyond that to increase the value of everything you make.

And the whole emphasis is on building quality, meaningful, and beautiful products as the cornerstone of your business.

Not churning out ugly pages that no one is going to buy.

It’s not a cheap course, but it’s lower in price than many of the courses we see these days, and it’s worth every penny even at full price.

And at 50% off, it’s well worth the investment. I paid full price for this one and don’t regret it!

Get more details here. And use code HOLIDAYSALE to make it half price.

And there’s a bonus from me, too. If you buy the course through my link, send your receipt to me at [email protected] and I’ll verify your purchase and send you a $70 voucher to spend in my store.

Today’s Freebie

When I started giving out a daily commercial use freebie in November I had no idea how popular they would be. Thank you for all your kind words about them.

I hope you understand that I can’t send items you’ve missed. I’d spend all day doing that and not be able to send out the new ones.

But don’t worry. If you have missed any in this series, it’s okay. They all work independently of each other. Just scoop up the rest. Mix and match the individual printables and add your own pages to create a fantastic product.

The freebies also come with Powerpoint and Canva templates so you can change the designs if you wish. And you’ll get PLR commercial rights to sell or give the printables away.

Each one will be available for at least 24 hours after this newsletter is sent out, but they will disappear after a day or so, so grab them before they do 😊

Here’s today’s freebie (or click on the image below)

Day 20 of Freebies

Enjoy what’s left of your weekend and I’ll catch you soon with more tips, freebies, and some offers but only the ones I personally think are great value and know the quality to be good.
