Chapter 1: The AI-Driven Foundation (Days 1-30)
This first phase is all about laying a solid groundwork for your e-
commerce venture. We'll use AI to cut through the noise, identify
profitable opportunities, and set up the essential building blocks of your
business.
Day 1-10: AI-Powered Niche & Product Research
The biggest mistake beginners make is selling products no one wants. AI
can help you find what's hot and what's evergreen.
Actionable Steps:
1. Brainstorm Broad Interests & Problems:
o List 3-5 areas you're genuinely interested in (e.g., sustainable
living, pet care, home fitness, smart tech).
o For each, identify problems people in that area face (e.g.,
"finding truly eco-friendly products," "healthy pet food
options," "effective home workouts," "integrating smart
devices").
o AI Prompt: "Brainstorm 5 broad product categories for an
online business. For each category, suggest 3 common
problems customers face that a product could solve."
2. Leverage AI for Trend & Demand Analysis:
o Use AI tools to analyze search trends, social media
discussions, and e-commerce best-seller lists.
o AI Prompt (for product ideas): "Given the problem
'[problem identified]', suggest 10 trending and 5 evergreen
product ideas that solve this problem for [target audience,
e.g., 'eco-conscious millennials']."
o AI Prompt (for market validation): "Analyze the market
demand for '[product idea]' over the past 3 years. Provide
insights from Google Trends, social media buzz (e.g.,
TikTok, Instagram), and existing e-commerce sales data if
available. Highlight growth potential or saturation."
4
o Self-Correction: If AI suggests a saturated market, refine
your niche. For example, instead of "yoga mats," try "eco-
friendly, non-slip yoga mats for outdoor use."
3. Initial Pricing Analysis & Supplier Vetting (AI-Assisted):
o Research competitor pricing on major platforms (Amazon,
Etsy, direct-to-consumer sites).
o Use AI to help draft inquiries to potential suppliers (e.g., on
Alibaba, AliExpress, or local manufacturers).
o AI Prompt (for pricing): "Analyze the pricing strategy for
'[product idea]' across 5 top e-commerce competitors.
Suggest a competitive pricing range and potential profit
margins, considering typical production/sourcing costs."
o AI Prompt (for supplier inquiry): "Draft a professional
inquiry email to a potential supplier for '[product name]'. Ask
about minimum order quantity (MOQ), unit cost, sample
availability, production time, and shipping options.
Emphasize quality and ethical sourcing."

it quality, price, niche focus, customer service, or a unique

propositions (USPs) that would make it stand out from

audience]'."

budget, and product.

A, e.g., Dropshipping] vs. [Business Model B, e.g., Private

using beginner-friendly platforms.
