for months.

Would anyone actually pay for this?

Is this already everywhere and I just cannot see it?

What if I build it and nobody buys?

6:04 am. up anyway.

You do not need another list of product ideas. You have plenty of ideas.

You need somebody to go and look, and tell you the truth about the one you keep coming back to.

Five real products, real prices, real links. Go and look.

What every one of them ignores, which is usually your opening.

05

the one thing to change

Narrow it to bookkeepers in their first year.

Not twenty fixes. The single change that moves your score most.

the uncomfortable part

it will tell you not to
build it.

31SHELFdo not build this one

“Everything I could find on this topic is free. Your buyer has been trained to expect it for nothing, which is the hardest thing there is to sell against. I would not build this one.”

Most of these tools are idea generators wearing a validator costume, and a generator will never tell you no.

This one will.

That is uncomfortable for about ten minutes, and it saves you a month.

go on then

check your idea.

why me

i built this because i needed it.

Katie Cross, who built the Sell or Shelf idea checker

Katie Cross

7-figure entrepreneur & ai coach

I have built a lot of small digital products, and the ones that failed all failed the same way. I never checked whether anybody was already selling the same thing, or whether the problem I picked was one people actually pay to solve.

This is the check I wish I had run first, and it takes a minute instead of a month.
