5 Boring but profitable digital products that are making people RICH

About this video

Note: this video’s available caption track is in Bengali; summarized from that track. Kate Hayes argues that pretty Canva products often fail because buyers pay for practical fixes for a specific person facing a specific problem, not for decoration. Her filter is that a product must target a specific person, solve a specific pressure, and be something people would rather buy than build themselves. She profiles five categories, citing other sellers’ listings as evidence. 1) Pet care trackers — medication and vaccine records, post-surgery recovery, multi-pet feeding and weight logs, priced from a few dollars for a single log sheet to about $25 for Google Sheets bundles; she cites a medication tracker sold under $2.26 that sold 49 times in a month for over $110, and a $12 pet planner that sold 23 times for $276. 2) Classroom and homeschool printables, including substitute plans and transcripts, roughly $5 to $40; she cites a $9.99 homeschool command centre with 55 sales ($549) and a $25 Charlotte Mason morning-menu bundle with 53 sales ($1,325). 3) Home management and maintenance systems, roughly $4 to $40; she cites a $9 emergency binder with 91 sales ($819). 4) Profession-specific client forms and templates for cleaners, photographers, bookkeepers and others, $3 to $50; she cites a $15.95 cleaning bundle with 26 sales ($414.70) and a $15 real estate presentation template with 55 sales ($825). 5) Website and funnel templates, from $6-$40 one-page templates to $80-$400 full sites; she cites a $34.73 coach/agency template with 21 sales ($729.33). She advises disclaimers on pet and contract/form products, and ends with a tip to turn one system into several listings by lightly adapting it for different audiences instead of redesigning from scratch.

Key takeaways

• Judge a product idea on three tests: a specific person, a specific problem or pressure, and something buyers would rather purchase than make themselves
• Pet care trackers sell because owners in a stressful moment will pay $5-$10 to avoid missing a dose; cited listings earned $110 and $276 in a month from single products
• Niche homeschool and classroom printables can outperform generic packs, with cited examples making $549 and $1,325 in a month
• Profession-specific forms and templates attract business buyers who are less price-sensitive; cited examples made $414.70 and $825 in a month
• Repurpose one finished system into lightly edited versions for different audiences, such as new homeowners, landlords and vacation-rental hosts, rather than designing anew
