How to choose your idea
Score each idea from 1 to 5 on these three:
- Do I know this well? You need to get people a result.
- Do people already ask me about it? That's proof of demand.
- Can I reach the buyers? Through your status, your followers, a group or a school.
Start with the highest score. You can always add more products later and bundle them.
Test before you build
Before spending weeks on a product:
- Post about the topic and see who comments or messages.
- Pre-sell it: "The guide is ready on the 20th; order now at the early price." If nobody buys, change the idea.
- Run a paid webinar on the topic. If people pay for the live version, they'll pay for the recorded one.

Is it legal to sell past questions and notes?
Make sure you have the right to sell what you share. Write your own answers and summaries rather than copying someone else's books or copyrighted material.

Not to start. You can register once sales are steady. Read how to register a business in Ghana.
