Sell a focused digital template
A good template solves one repeated problem for one recognisable person. Think client onboarding for photographers—not a vague ‘ultimate life planner’.
Your first four steps
Choose one expensive frustration
Speak to five people in a narrow audience. Ask what they repeat, postpone or rebuild every week.
Build the smallest useful version
Create one clear outcome, add a two-minute setup guide and test every link or formula.
Pre-sell to validate
Show screenshots and the promised outcome. Aim for three real buyers before polishing extra features.
Improve from support questions
Turn repeated questions into onboarding notes, examples and a better second version.
How to price it
A simple first template might be tested around £9–£29. Price around the usefulness of the outcome, not the number of pages.
Find the first customer
Start with communities you genuinely belong to, former colleagues who fit the audience, or a helpful tutorial that demonstrates the workflow.
Before you launch
Three things to check.
- Do not include fonts, photographs or template elements you are not licensed to resell.
- Explain compatibility and refund terms before purchase.
- Keep evidence of your original work and check the platform’s commercial-use rules.
