What problem does it solve?
Starting an online craft business often stalls at the first question: what could I actually make and sell? This GPT turns a broad skill or interest into a more useful list of product directions to investigate.
Who is it for?
- People considering selling handmade or personalised products online
- Existing Etsy sellers looking for fresh product directions
- Over-50 side hustlers who already have a craft or practical skill
- Creators looking for variations around an existing product idea
How to use it
Give it the craft, material, skill or type of product you are interested in. It then brainstorms possible products and niches that you can take forward for proper marketplace research.
I enjoy making simple wooden gifts and would like ideas that could be personalised for birthdays or retirement.
An important distinction
This is an idea-generation tool, not live marketplace research. A suggestion is a product to investigate, not evidence that it will sell. Check demand, competition, pricing, fees and production effort before committing time or money.
A focused little tool that tackles the blank-page problem at the start of a craft side hustle. Its value is in broadening your thinking quickly, then handing the best ideas over to proper research.
