PRODUCT VIABILITY CHECKLIST
Before you build anything… make sure it PASSES this test. If a digital product idea doesn’t pass at least 7 out of 10, it’s a NO.
1️⃣ Does it solve a real problem?
If people aren’t waking up annoyed, frustrated, embarrassed, or stressed about this problem → it won’t sell.
✔ Yes
❌ No
2️⃣ Can it get someone a quick win?
Buyers want momentum, not a 12-week textbook.
✔ Yes
❌ No
3️⃣ Would YOU buy this?
If you wouldn’t spend $47–$97 on this… why would anyone else?
✔ Yes
❌ No
4️⃣ Can it be explained in one sentence?
If you can’t describe the transformation simply, the offer isn’t clear.
✔ Yes
❌ No

7️⃣ Does your audience already ask you about this topic?
DMs, comments, questions = demand.

8️⃣ Does it match your strengths?
If it drains you, you won’t finish it.
If it lights you up, you’ll crush it.

9️⃣ Can someone finish it in under 2 hours?
The best-selling digital products are short, clear, and insanely actionable.

Count your checkmarks.
