Ever had a brilliant idea only to think, “Meh, it’s not unique enough?”
Well, stop right there…
I’m about to show you why that mindset is total nonsense.
Some of the most successful products out there? Not unique at all.. What made them big was how they were executed.
Take a moment and look around—how many brands of bottled water, yoga mats, or phone cases can you spot?
They are literally EVERYWHERE.
And guess what?
They’re raking in the cash.
It’s not about having the one-in-a-million idea; it’s about how you bring your idea to life.
Let me share a little story: When I started in e-commerce, I was obsessed with finding that game-changing, never-before-seen product.
I spent ages hunting for that perfect, unique idea, something that would be truly different…
Want to know what got me to my first $10k in profit?
Barbecue mats and party balloons that I sold on Amazon… Yep, super boring stuff.
I realized that success isn’t about uniqueness. It’s about execution.
Here’s another one for you: A friend of mine, Levi, decided to start a men’s necklace brand.
Nothing groundbreaking, right?
But Levi added a twist. Each necklace represented a geographical location in the world that he had a personal connection to.
He is a lover of travel and different cultures and wanted his necklaces to encapsulate that vibe… And Boom. That little touch? It set him apart.
Within a year, Levi’s business was booming…
He quickly scaled to over $500k in revenue. His necklaces weren’t just another piece of jewelry; they were a fashion statement and an expression of personality.
His customers felt special, and they kept coming back. It wasn’t the that necklaces were super unique; it was how they made his customers feel.
So…Stop stressing over how unique your idea is. Focus on how you can make it uniquely yours.
>Start by REALLY getting to know your audience.
>Dive deep into their needs, desires, and pain points.
>Picture them so clearly you could have a conversation with them.
THEN, tailor your product to fit perfectly into their lives.
Here’s a stat for you: 86% of buyers are willing to pay more for a better customer experience.
This is your playground. Think about the small details—exceptional customer service, an unforgettable unboxing experience, or a follow-up note that makes them smile.
These touches can transform an ordinary product into something extraordinary.
Apple didn’t invent the smartphone; they perfected it with killer design and user experience.
Starbucks didn’t invent coffee; they turned it into a daily ritual.
It’s not about what you’re selling; it’s about how you sell it.
Use storytelling to your advantage.
Share your journey, your struggles, and your passion.
People connect with stories. They want to feel something.
Authenticity isn’t just a buzzword—it’s your secret weapon.
Try this: List out a bunch of “ordinary” products you know are killing it. Or just literally write down every product that you use over the course of a week…
Then, figure out what makes them stand out.
Spoiler alert: It’s usually not the product itself but how it’s presented.
So to sum it all up, don’t let the fear of not being unique hold you back.
Shift your focus to nailing your execution, creating a killer customer experience, and telling your story authentically. These are the keys to turning any idea into a success story.
