$160K in 2 Years Selling Spreadsheet Templates

SimplyOrganizedProEtsy Store $160,000+ estimated revenue Published February 15, 2024 by Fardeen KhanReviewed and edited by Niall Doherty

Check out this Etsy store selling templates for Google Sheets SimplyOrganizedPro

The store has only been around since 2022 and has made 37K+ sales across 24 products.

Per a recent article, the store is estimated to have earned $160,000 so far

One of their best-selling products is this Monthly Budget Spreadsheet, released 14 months ago and with 8.6K sales.

They’re selling that template for $1 to $2.50 a pop, so they’ve likely earned $10k from it, with very little overhead

Some of their other products…

As you can see, they’re a bit all over the place, creating templates for all kinds of niches.

I’m guessing their product choices are based on market research

Tools like Etsy Hunt and Alura can help with that, both free to try.

Also, I looked around for social media accounts for SimplyOrganizedPro, but couldn’t find anything. So it seems all their sales are coming via Etsy organic searches and recommendations

And their prices are so low that I suspect they get a lot of impulse buyers.

Interesting as well that they mainly do Google Sheets templates.

Some ideas…

Instead of coming up with more ideas myself, I put what I’d written above into ChatGPT and asked it to give me a few more

A couple it came back with…

Interactive PDF Forms: Creating fillable and interactive PDF forms for various needs, such as business forms, surveys, workout logs, or event planning checklists. These can be particularly useful for small businesses or freelancers.

Social Media Content Templates: Designing customizable templates for social media posts and ads, catering to platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter. This could include templates for stories, feed posts, and profile banners.

Who knows if those ideas are viable, but they can be good jumping off points for research.

With that in mind, any time you come across a story you like in this newsletter, you could copy/paste it into ChatGPT and ask it to brainstorm some ideas based on the text
