Market Opportunity
Business owners and freelancers need financial models, calculators, and trackers but don't know how to build them. A well-designed spreadsheet solving a specific problem sells for $19–99 for years.
The Idea
Build and sell spreadsheet-based tools for specific business functions. Examples: Freelance Pricing Calculator, SaaS MRR Projection, Restaurant Food Cost Calculator, Real Estate Deal Analyzer, Event Budget Planner. Beautiful design, clear instructions. Sell on Gumroad or Etsy.
Key to Success
- Interview 5 people in your target niche before building
- Include a video tutorial — complex tools need demonstration
- Offer a done-with-you upsell where you populate the spreadsheet
AI Tools to Leverage: Google Sheets, Excel, ChatGPT (formulas), Loom, Gumroad
