Monopolistically competitive firms earn profits by differentiating their products, allowing them to charge higher prices than those in perfectly competitive markets. They attract customers through unique features, branding, or quality, leading to a downward-sloping demand curve. In the short run, if the price exceeds average total costs, they can earn economic profits. However, in the long run, the entry of new firms typically erodes these profits, as they offer similar products and increase competition.
