I shipped 7 digital packs this week instead of another SaaS waitlist

This week I deliberately skipped another “waitlist SaaS” and shipped a small catalog of downloadable kits (zip files) for indie builders and freelancers.

Why packs instead of SaaS

  • Sales page before product complexity
  • PayPal-friendly checkout
  • Promote with “what’s inside,” not hard-sell spam
  • Unzip → use the same day

What’s live (digital download only)

  1. Indie Ship Pack — waitlist landing + Cursor rules + 20 launch posts ($29)
  2. Get Paid Faster Kit — invoice policy, recovery emails, cash tracker ($29)
  3. Ship Faster Cursor Prompt Pack ($19)
  4. Short-Form Hooks Pack ($19)
  5. Lighter SKUs ($12–$17): Cursor rules, launch swipe file, 30-day cash diet

Early lessons

  • Multi-SKU beats one “perfect” product when testing demand
  • Don’t lean on a single community channel (accounts get banned)
  • Honest “what’s inside” posts convert clearer than vague waitlists
  • Keep every live link in an ops doc — nothing only in chat

Feedback wanted

Which SKU would you actually buy first, and is $12–$29 the right ladder?

To answer your question about the ladder: $12-$29 is a sensible range, and I'd judge it by how costly the problem is rather than the file count. The "Get Paid Faster Kit" for $29 targets a problem that costs freelancers real money, which supports that price, while a "Short-Form Hooks Pack" at $19 competes with a lot of free advice. I'd check 5-10 similar packs on Etsy or Gumroad Discover and read what reviewers complain about. Since you're testing demand, I'd also track which single page gets the most clicks to checkout, not just views. One clear refund window usually helps more than another $5 off.
