Week 2: Visibility - Apply SEO techniques from Chapter 5 and take professional-quality photos using Chapter 6's lighting setups
Week 3: Momentum - Launch your first 3-5 products using the pre-launch checklist from Chapter 9
Week 4: Growth - Start one marketing channel from Chapter 10 (Pinterest is ideal for beginners)
