Hello everyone,
When I started building my first digital product, I was stuck at Step 1: What should I create?
Hereās what I didnāt realize: Your best product idea is often hiding in plain sight.
Let me walk you through my 3-step formula for finding your first profitable idea in just 30 minutes:
Step 1: Solve a Real Problem š¢
Think about this: People donāt buy productsāthey buy solutions to their problems.
Ask yourself:
What questions do people always ask you for advice on?
What challenges have you personally overcome?
You can also use this tool - Answer the Public to find out the answers from the internet.
For example:
If youāve mastered budgeting, create a Budgeting Template or a guide on Saving $1,000 Fast.
If youāre great at productivity, design a Time-Blocking Planner or a checklist for busy professionals.

Step 2: Check if People Want It (Validation) š
Before creating anything, make sure thereās demand:
Use Google Trends to see if people are searching for your topic.
Check platforms like Gumroad, Etsy, or Notion templates to see whatās already selling.
This step saves you time and ensures your product has an eager audience.
Step 3: Start Simple (Donāt Overthink!) š
Your first product doesnāt have to be complicated. In fact, simple sells best:
A one-page template.
A short e-book or guide.
A checklist or planner.
The goal is to create something quickly that solves a specific problemāand grow from there.
Does This Even Work? š¤
Absolutely. Some of the highest-earning creators I know started with something as simple as a template or a mini-guide.
