Pros
- • Minimal expenses to create the tools - no need for physical inventory, shipping costs etc.
- • So many specific niches to target (if you’re a freelance interior designer can sell checklists to first time homeowners, or if you’re a freelance accountant, can sell tax calculator to entrepreneurs 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
