Launch Roadmap

Phase 1: Ideation (Month 1)

  • Research your niche (what sells well on Etsy, Gumroad, or Notion Market)
  • Identify 3–5 problems your target audience faces
  • Brainstorm digital solutions (templates, guides, systems)
  • Create a brand identity — name, logo, color palette

Phase 2: Product Development (Month 2–3)

  • Design 5–10 core digital products
  • Test them yourself and with beta users
  • Prepare visuals (mockups, demo videos, product descriptions)
  • Set up your online store and payment systems

Phase 3: Launch & Marketing (Month 4)

  • Offer limited-time discounts or bundles
  • Post teasers and tutorials on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube
  • Collect reviews and testimonials
  • Run small ad campaigns ($5–$20/day)

Phase 4: Scale (Months 5–12)

  • Launch new products every 2–3 weeks
  • Build an email list and nurture leads with tips and freebies
  • Offer a membership or course
  • Collaborate with influencers or YouTubers in your niche

Marketing Strategy

1. Content Marketing

  • Show product tutorials on TikTok / Reels (“How I plan my week in Notion”)
  • Create YouTube walkthroughs of your products
  • Blog about your niche (“Top 5 Digital Templates for Small Businesses”)
  • Offer freebies to build your audience (mini templates or cheat sheets)

2. Email Marketing

  • Capture emails via free downloads
  • Send weekly newsletters featuring new products, discounts, or case studies

3. Social Media Strategy

  • Consistent branding on Instagram, Pinterest, and LinkedIn
  • Post content like:
    • “Before and After: My Notion Template Setup”
    • “3 Templates That Saved Me 10 Hours This Week”
  • Use Pinterest for long-term organic sales (huge traffic driver for digital products)

4. SEO & Marketplace Optimization

  • Optimize listings on Etsy / Gumroad with keywords like:
    • “Notion planner template,” “Canva branding kit,” etc.
  • Include video previews and lifestyle mockups

5. Paid Ads (Later)

  • Run retargeting ads on Meta or Google
  • Promote seasonal bundles or new launches

Financial Projection (Example)

As you grow your library and audience, income compounds — old products continue selling passively while you release new ones.
