Thoughts:
“The fastest way to crash is to build your business on one product and one supplier.”
“Stop jumping from trend to trend. Pick a street and build your house there.”
“A niche is not a cage. It’s your compass when everything else stops working.”
There’s this mindset that destroys Nigerian Ecommerce businesses every single week.
They find one hot product. Boom.
It sells like crazy. They feel like a god.
They call their friends to brag. They even price land in Ibeju-Lekki.
Then suddenly…
That product slows down.
Supplier stock finishes.
Or worse… competition everywhere.
Now, they’re confused. Panicking.
Asking gurus for help.
“Which product is selling now?”
Let me be honest with you…
If you’re always looking for a new random product from scratch, you don’t have a business.
You’re just a reactive gambler.
And in this game? Gamblers bleed.
Real Ecommerce winners are not gamblers.
They are niche builders.
They build castles inside one street.
They pick a direction like beauty, health, home, tech and build inside it.
That way, they don’t start from scratch every time something fails.
They just look around their niche…
And find the next thing their customer wants.
You don’t jump ship. You dig deeper in the same river.
What to do when a hot product dies
1. Build a Niche Tree, Not a Product List
Let me explain this with something we all know — family tree.
You have your main niche at the top — let’s say “Home Organizing”.
Now from there, you branch out.
You’ve got:
• Kitchen storage
• Bedroom racks
• Bathroom holders
• Laundry baskets
• Shoe shelves
• Wall hooks
This is your niche “family”.
Even if one “child” dies (a product flops), the family is still strong.
You’re not starting from scratch again.
You just test the next “child”.
This way, your ad angles, audiences, creatives even delivery methods – remain the same.
All you’re doing is switching the item, not the whole business.
2. Use Your Past Product As a Compass
I don’t chase random trends anymore.
I chase patterns.
If a beauty product with a brush applicator sold well…
Then I test more beauty tools.
If a kitchen plastic sold well, I test more colourful kitchen gadgets.
Why?
Because customer desire is like traffic.
If the last product moved fast, the next one nearby will too.
3. Always Have a Backup Inside Your Niche
This one here saved me many times.
Always have 2-3 other products inside your niche READY.
Even if you’re not selling them now, you’ve sourced them, priced them, and written down the suppliers.
Think of it like your “Ecommerce power bank”.
So when one product goes off, you plug in the next one.
No delay.
No begging customers.
No wasting ₦50k to test something totally new.
And you can be upselling them also.
Most people think the secret to consistent sales is better ads…
But the real secret is to never be caught empty-handed.
