The long-tail entry strategy

Don't compete on the main category. Every category above has a long-tail opportunity:

• Instead of "personalized jewelry" → "dainty Arabic name necklace"
• Instead of "printable planner" → "chronic illness symptom tracker printable"
• Instead of "wall art print" → "dark academia library print set"
