01 Notion system for freelance client onboarding
MEDIUM DEMAND
A ready-to-use Notion workspace that takes a new client from enquiry through proposal, contract checklist, kickoff and deliverable tracking in one duplicatable template.
The problem: Freelancers rebuild the same messy onboarding from scratch for every client and lose hours plus look unprofessional during the first impression.
Difficulty
Low
Time to MVP
1-2 weeks
How it makes money
One-off sale around 29 to 49 pounds on Gumroad, sold to freelancers through design and freelancing communities and a few short demo videos.
First step
Post a screen recording of the workspace in a freelancing community and offer a pre-sale at half price to the first twenty buyers.
02 Lightroom presets for UK property photographers
MEDIUM DEMAND
A preset pack tuned for British interiors and grey daylight, fixing dull window light and mixed bulb colour so estate and rental listing photos look bright and true.
The problem: New property and Airbnb photographers waste time hand-editing every room and still get inconsistent, yellow-tinted results across a shoot.
Difficulty
Low
Time to MVP
1-2 weeks
How it makes money
Pack sold around 24 pounds on Gumroad or Lemon Squeezy, marketed to property and short-let photographers via before-and-after posts.
First step
Edit ten real listing photos with the presets, post the before-and-after set, and gauge demand before finalising the pack.
03 Compliance-ready policy pack for UK micro-businesses
MEDIUM DEMAND
A bundle of plain-English, fill-in-the-blank policy documents covering data protection, health and safety basics and terms, written for sole traders and tiny limited companies.
The problem: Micro-business owners know they should have these documents but solicitor quotes feel huge and free templates are vague or clearly written for other countries.
Difficulty
Medium
Time to MVP
2-3 weeks
How it makes money
One-off bundle around 39 to 59 pounds on Lemon Squeezy, sold to new business owners through small-business groups and accountant referrals.
First step
Draft one polished policy template, offer it free in a small-business group in exchange for emails, and pitch the paid bundle to the most engaged.
04 Mini course on pricing for first-time freelancers
MEDIUM DEMAND
A short, focused video course that walks a new freelancer through setting day rates, writing proposals that hold price and handling discount requests without panic.
The problem: First-time freelancers chronically underprice, cave on every discount ask, and burn out doing too much work for too little money.
Difficulty
Medium
Time to MVP
3-4 weeks
How it makes money
Course priced around 79 pounds on Teachable, sold through a free pricing calculator lead magnet and freelancing newsletters.
First step
Run the material live once as a paid two-hour workshop, record it, and use the questions asked to shape the polished course.
05 Curated UK supplier dataset for ecommerce sellers
MEDIUM DEMAND
A maintained spreadsheet of vetted UK and EU dropship and wholesale suppliers by product category, with minimums, lead times and contact details, updated quarterly.
The problem: New ecommerce sellers waste weeks sifting low-quality supplier directories and get burned by scammy or unresponsive sources hidden among the listings.
Difficulty
Medium
Time to MVP
2-3 weeks
How it makes money
Sold around 35 pounds for the current edition on Gumroad, with an optional 6 pound monthly update tier for the maintained version.
First step
Verify forty suppliers in one category by hand, sell that single category list cheaply, and only expand the categories buyers ask for.
