Printable journals are easy to make and it’s for that reason they’re one of my favorite products to teach people about. Journals are low content and it’s easy to create a single template and use it for hundreds of journal pages, simply changing the prompts on each page before finalizing it.
The key to earning big profits on printable journals is to learn which niches are in demand and focus on those where the competition isn’t intense. That way, you can target a specific market of shoppers who are looking for exactly what you’re selling.
