Two things I’ve seen buzz about recently:
- Custom iOS icons (ref: 1 Tweet + 6 Days = $116,147)
- Notion (kind of a cross between Evernote and Asana)
This week I came across marketplaces for both:
- iOS Icons for buying and selling iOS icons
- Notion Expert for buying and selling Notion templates
No idea what kind of money those sites are making, but something like iOS Icons in particular might be worth emulating in other niches. It was built “overnight” and isn’t a typical marketplace, in that they’ve simply listed iOS icon packs for sale via Gumroad or Etsy and (if possible) affiliate linked to the sales pages 😎
You might get an idea for other products to try this with while browsing Exploding Topics.
