Pros

  • • Minimal expenses to create the printable - no need for physical inventory, shipping costs etc.
  • • So many specific niches to target (if you’re a freelance bookkeeper, could sell a ‘do your own taxes’ workbook that walks entrepreneurs through the process etc.)
  • • Super easy, can make it in Canva and doesn’t require nearly any graphic design skills as long as you focus on providing value

Cons

  • • Highly competition - you really have to target a very specific niche to stand out
  • • Relatively easy to make and therefore there is tons of competition - really need to differentiate your product from the 1000s of others out there
  • • The real work is in the marketing, which requires either a) ad money, b) an existing audience or c) lots of time to build an audience
