In my previous post, I talked about templates and what are the pros and cons of buying or making your own template. In this post, I am going to give you some ideas about what templates you may need to create for your own use and/or to sell but before that, I want to give you some idea of the search volumes of some templates.

As you can see from this small sample, whilst large niches have many product choices on Etsy, if you niche down by either software or job, the number of products decrease and in one case, decrease to only 1% of the total product!


Here are some template ideas you can create for personal use and to sell or give away to others.

  • Budgets and Accounts

  • Cheat Sheets
  • Contracts
  • Terms and Conditions

If you want to create them, most of them can be made in either the Microsoft Office suite or equivalents such as the Google suite. Other software you can use are Trello Boards, Canva, Inkscape, Gimp, the Adobe products, and the Affinity products.

Many of them can be made in multiple pieces of software so if you do create them in one software type, you may be able to use the same information and design ideas to recreate it in another software.
