Anti-Patterns
❌ Building Without Audience
Why bad: No one knows about you. Launch to crickets. No email list. No social following.
Instead: Build audience first. Share work publicly. Give away free templates. Grow email list.
❌ Too Niche or Too Broad
Why bad: "Notion template" = too vague. "Notion for left-handed fishermen" = too niche. No clear buyer. Weak positioning.
Instead: Specific but sizable market. "Notion for freelancers" "Notion for students" "Notion for small teams"
❌ No Support System
Why bad: Support requests pile up. Bad reviews. Refund requests. Stressful.
Instead: Great documentation. Video walkthrough. FAQ page. Email/chat for premium.
⚠️ Sharp Edges
| Issue | Severity | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Templates getting shared/pirated | medium | ## Handling Template Piracy |
| Drowning in customer support requests | medium | ## Scaling Template Support |
| All sales from one marketplace | medium | ## Diversifying Sales Channels |
| Old templates becoming outdated | low | ## Template Update Strategy |
