                <strong class="block text-xl text-gray-800 mb-2">
                    Step 1: Start With Demand (Not Product Ideas)
                </strong>
                Before choosing a product, confirm that customers are already searching for it. Analyze monthly search volume, demand stability, and whether the product is seasonal or evergreen.
            </p>

            <!-- STEP 2 -->
            <p class="mb-6 leading-loose text-blueGray-400">
                <strong class="block text-xl text-gray-800 mb-2">
                    Step 2: Analyze Competition the Smart Way
                </strong>
                A profitable product has more demand than competition. Review seller count, review velocity, listing quality, and whether strong brands dominate page one.
            </p>

        </div>

                <strong class="block text-xl text-gray-800 mb-2">
                    Step 3: Validate With Real Amazon Data
                </strong>
                Check price history, BSR trends, review growth, Buy Box behavior, and seller types. Unstable pricing often signals a race to the bottom.
            </p>

            <!-- STEP 4 -->
            <p class="leading-loose text-blueGray-400 mb-6">
                <strong class="block text-xl text-gray-800 mb-2">
                    Step 4: Check Profitability Before You Commit
                </strong>
                Calculate Amazon fees, FBA costs, shipping, COGS, and advertising. Aim for at least 30% ROI and 20–30% net margin.
            </p>

            <!-- STEP 5 -->
            <p class="leading-loose text-blueGray-400 mb-6">
                <strong class="block text-xl text-gray-800 mb-2">
                    Step 5: Do Keyword Research Before Launch
                </strong>
                Strong products have multiple high-volume keywords. If only one keyword drives demand, the product is risky.
            </p>

            <!-- STEP 6 -->
            <p class="leading-loose text-blueGray-400 mb-10">
                <strong class="block text-xl text-gray-800 mb-2">
                    Step 6: Confirm Long-Term Trends
                </strong>
                Use trend analysis to avoid fad products. Evergreen or steadily growing demand indicates long-term potential.
