Beautiful, functional digital planners from independent creators.
The Indie Planner Collective is a curated online marketplace connecting independent creators of digital planners, journals, and productivity templates with consumers who love staying organized. We focus exclusively on digital downloads for popular apps like Goodnotes, Notability, and OneNote, offering a niche destination free from the clutter of general marketplaces. Sellers list their products with flat-rate transaction fees, while buyers discover premium, handpicked designs verified for quality and compatibility. The platform includes reviews, wishlists, and creator profiles to build trust and repeat purchases. As a part-time operator, you’ll leverage automated tools for onboarding, delivery, and payouts, spending 5–15 hours weekly on curation, support, and targeted social media marketing. With the booming digital planning trend, this marketplace fills a gap for both niche creators seeking better exposure and consumers tired of sifting through low-quality options on larger platforms.
The global digital planner market is projected to grow 8.5% annually, fueled by tablet adoption and remote work, yet no marketplace specializes exclusively in high-quality indie planner designs, creating a first-mover advantage.

Revenue comes from a 15% transaction fee on every sale and optional $5/week featured listings for extra visibility. Average order value of $8–25 means $1.20–$3.75 revenue per transaction. With targeted influencer partnerships and SEO, we’ll acquire sellers through design communities and buyers via Pinterest/Instagram content, aiming for a 6-month seller retention and a customer lifetime value of 3+ purchases.
