Market Opportunity
Obsidian's personal knowledge management community is passionate and growing. Users want pre-configured vaults for research, writing, studying, and PKM. The Obsidian community actively pays for well-crafted vaults and plugins.
The Idea
Create and sell Obsidian vault templates. Design complete knowledge management systems: 'Academic Research Vault' (Zettelkasten method), 'Writer's Story Bible', 'D&D Campaign Manager', 'Computer Science Study Vault', 'Therapist's Client Notes System'. Include custom plugins, templates, CSS snippets, and documentation. Price $15–39.
Key to Success
- The Obsidian community values DEPTH — shallow templates get roasted in reviews
- Include CSS snippets for beautiful visual themes — aesthetics matter in the PKM community
- Offer 'vault walkthrough' videos showing the system in daily use
