To add a new product, we go to Products -> Catalog.
Now we go to Add Product, if we click on the arrow next to it, we will be able to add different types of products with their unique characteristics. If we click on Add Product, it will open a default product.
Now we will go through the sections, first we will focus on those that are mandatory (*), by default when creating a new product it is already available on the website, we can change this by saying that it is not available.
Name: Name of the product.
SKU: It is the unique code to identify the item.
Price: Price per unit of product.
Tax Class: It is the type of VAT that affects the product.
Quantity: Quantity of the product.
Stock status: Whether we have stock of the product or not.

Visibility: Where we want the product to be seen, when searching, in the catalog, in both or in none.
We can indicate that it is a new product in a time frame.

Then we expand Content:

Now if we go to our main page, the product should appear, if not, it may be necessary to clear the Magento cache and if it still does not appear, we recommend the guide on Viewing products on the main page in Magento 2.
When we click on the product, this is how it would look:
