Systems sell better than single templates. A "Complete Finance System" with 7 tabs outsells a basic budget sheet by 3–5x, even at a higher price point.

Niche beats generic. "ADHD-Friendly Life OS" outsells "Productivity Planner" despite a smaller audience. Specificity signals expertise.

Mockup quality matters. Listings with professional mockups (iPad on desk, laptop screenshots) get 2–3x more clicks than flat template previews.
