Why bad: No one knows about you. Launch to crickets. No email list. No social following.
Instead: Build audience first. Share work publicly. Give away free templates. Grow email list.
Why bad: "Notion template" = too vague. "Notion for left-handed fishermen" = too niche. No clear buyer. Weak positioning.
Instead: Specific but sizable market. "Notion for freelancers" "Notion for students" "Notion for small teams"
Why bad: Support requests pile up. Bad reviews. Refund requests. Stressful.
Instead: Great documentation. Video walkthrough. FAQ page. Email/chat for premium.
| Issue | Severity | Solution |
|---|---|---|

| Old templates becoming outdated | low | ## Template Update Strategy |
