Printable Grid Planner Sheet

A simple printable grid or tracker sheet, modelled on proven best-sellers and sold for about $20

Startup cost: Very low startup cost (our estimate; the video doesn’t give figures)

What It Is

You make a simple printable sheet, like a grid tracker or annual budget template, after studying listings already selling well, then improve on them and sell them as instant downloads.

The Pitch

Richard shows a $20 grid sheet he says sold about 700 times last month, roughly $14,000, and argues the file is simple but the packaging, walkthrough and updates make it a product.

Who It’s Best For

Organised people who like spreadsheets, planners and tidy layouts.

The Truth (as we see it)

The $14,000 is someone else's listing, estimated from public data, and one of a few standouts in a crowded category. Copying a best-seller too closely can break its rights, so make your own version. Richard says he doesn't sell on Etsy himself. Richard says he has built systems for over 3,000 people who sell digital products, and his videos promote his own paid programs.
