Selling templates, directory lists, and small plugin/automation setups through direct sales, one-time payments, or micro-memberships, with minimal overhead.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
No fluff, no AI gimmicks—just practical, proven automation setups that help solo builders solve specific pain points and make money fast, all on a budget.
Launch Strategy:
Start by sharing simple Notion templates and directory lists on Reddit, then offer easy-to-setup guides and scanned directories for sale, validating demand with minimal investment before expanding.
