    The product looks really nice, what are your goals for 2021?

      Thank you @dagorenouf - I'm thinking of ways to further productized the project instead of being a templates seller :)

      Any advice?

        Nice! I love productized services :), here's my 2 cents.

        I assume that your target customer would need to make slides from time to time, so a subscription can make sense to them.

        First, I would see if you can get people to pay $5 or $10 a month for "unlimited access and updates", like https://www.ls.graphics is doing.

        If it succeeds, then try to build a simple platform where people can edit their presentation directly online, and export it in all major formats. You could increase the price for that.

    Great work Felix! Can you write in the next article more about marketing / getting traffic on Zlides? We have the similar products and I'm very interested in that!

      Yes! I will put up 8 tactics I used for this project :) Coming soon here and on my Twitter! @kapustin

    Awesome looking site and I like the idea. I do think however that there are other needs your audience has next to good looking and functional slides that could generate way more revenue for you. Nothing comes to mind right away, but there has to something. These slides could be a good start for a funnel.

    One question; with what site builder did you create this website? It looks beautiful!

      Hey @Jopha! Thank you so much for your feedback - it's built with the legendary Carrd

        No way! You did an amazing job with that. What is the font that you used? And how did you put that light shadow behind the tiles of the 'presentation kits'?

        1. 1

          It should be Arial haha I like system font

          Shadow is a default feature, no CSS needed
