The main risk with Digital products
You must already know something others want to learn, otherwise there is nothing to sell.
Budget: CA$0–30.
The main risk with Reselling
You must tie up capital in stock, and a badly assessed item stays unsold.
Budget: CA$100–500 of working capital depending on the niche.
How we calculate
Each aspect is worth points: what you like doing 22, time 14, contact 14, budget 12, timing 10, location 10, risk 10, stock 8. “Good fit” earns all of the aspect’s points, “Partial” half, “Watch out” 0.
The score measures how well your answers match what the business demands: it is not a chance of success nor an income forecast.
What we ruled out, and why
- Local marketing: in-person or phone outreach is the only path (you prefer answering buyers without reaching out).
- AI video editing: you have to message strangers to find clients (you prefer answering buyers without reaching out).
- Micro-SaaS: you have to message strangers to find clients (you prefer answering buyers without reaching out).
