What you can sell

Strategy
List a single resume template for $5
Target everyone, convince no one
Wait for traffic instead of building for it
Underprice to "be competitive"
Build complete bundles: resume + letter + tracker + guide
Own a micro-niche: "Resume for Home Depot applicants"
List on Etsy for built-in traffic; Gumroad for SEO
Price $25–$49: the sweet spot for Gumroad conversion
"A creator listed a Notion template at 9 AM. By midnight, $1,400 in sales. No ads. No audience. Just a validated niche and a well-priced bundle."— Actual Gumroad creator story
The model works.
Etsy has 86 million active buyers. Gumroad processes over $1 billion in creator sales. Digital products have zero inventory cost and sell while you sleep. The only question is whether you build something specific enough to matter.
