Spreadsheet products aren’t a passing trend. They’ve been hot sellers for more than five years—and a random sample of nine spreadsheet products currently listed on Etsy had an average sale price of $15.93.

The opportunity has been there. The technical barrier is what kept many digital-product sellers out.

Now ChatGPT can make the creation process oh-so simple. Google Sheets Made Simple is coming September 10.

ChatGPT and I used to argue—especially during long, complicated projects. Then something changed. It began handling longer projects more reliably, creating polished documents and functional spreadsheets, and producing images much faster.

Sophisticated spreadsheets don’t have to require sophisticated spreadsheet skills.

Search Canva Elements for baby onesie mockups, baby nursery mockups, nursery frame mockups, milestone card mockups, baby announcement mockups, and baby book mockups. Look for scenes with a clean blank area where you can place your own design.

Add words such as neutral, boho, floral or watercolor to narrow the results and find a style that fits your product.
