Market Opportunity
Custom emoji and sticker packs for Discord, Telegram, Slack, and iMessage are a growing market. Communities, brands, and creators want custom sticker sets. Low price point ($2–5) drives volume; B2B sticker packs for Slack teams command higher prices.
The Idea
Design emoji and sticker packs for messaging platforms. Themes: workplace humor (Slack), gaming community (Discord), cute animals, motivational, niche hobbies. Create in required formats per platform (Discord requires specific sizes, Telegram uses WEBP). Sell on Gumroad or directly to communities. Price $2–8.
Key to Success
- Each platform has STRICT FORMAT REQUIREMENTS — Discord emojis must be 128×128 PNG under 256KB; stickers have different rules
- Create 'Community Bundles' — a full emoji + sticker pack themed for a specific community (D&D, fitness, book club)
- Offer custom emoji design as a service — Discord servers and Slack workspaces pay $100–500 for custom sets
