Key Takeaways from the Episode:
1. Choosing the Right Path for Product Development
Two Paths: Greg outlines two primary paths for launching an ecommerce business: purchasing inventory upfront or building a media property around your product idea.
Media Property: Create content related to your niche to gather insights and build an audience before launching your product.

Leverage Existing Communities: Tap into platforms like LinkedIn, Reddit, and Facebook to share your products and insights.
Offer Value: Host webinars or provide free resources to build credibility and attract potential customers.
4. Building an Email List
Start Early: Build your email list even before launching your product to create a ready-made audience.
Direct Communication: Use your email list for direct communication and engagement with potential customers.
