Would this store work? (alien.top)

This year I got diagnosed with fibromyalgia after dealing with this pain and disease for 12 years. I've been suffering hard with depression and anxiety for the past 3 years and I find it debilitating enough to keep me from a job and haven't had luck getting remote work. However, my husband and I are not doing well financially and I'd like to help. So, I am considering opening an online shop with things to help with pain.

The shop would be an arsenal of things I've learned to use to help fibromyalgia pain like epsom salts for baths, heating pads, Turmeric supplements, specialty teas (like for painful periods) and a flagship product of an herbal lotion that helps provide immediate relief to painful mucles. (Plus more products- this is just for example.)

I'm wondering if I put the effort into the shop, would a store like this work? I know most stuff is just bought off of Amazon, so I don't want to open a shop and get left in the dust. I've had businesses fail already and am ready to succeed. Thanks for your help.

People will research on your site and buy on Amazon. You need to be sure you’re offering solutions not readily available cheaper or more convenient elsewhere

Makes sense. I'm considering that. Thank you so much.
