Key takeaways
- The boring skill on your resume — the spreadsheet, the SOP, the checklist — is sellable when you name it after the buyer's tool, not the skill itself.
- Real proof: Janet LeBlanc / Paper + Spark — accountant, 17,000+ customers since 2014, three separate platform-named spreadsheets (Etsy, Shopify, eBay).
- The Goosh pattern: don't sell your skill — sell the integration your buyer is already searching for, by name.
- The 4-question test for naming your own boring skill — so the listing matches what the buyer types into the search bar.
- The platform default is Gumroad — with one exception: list on Etsy or Shopify when your buyer is already searching there.
