I've been having trouble developing products because I don't have strong knowledge about the different niches out there. I just made a Niche Bank, a document with lists of different evergreen and seasonal and trending niches, with the help of ChatGPT.
NOTE: Bailey says a good rule of thumb is to spend 50% of your time on Evergreen and 50% on Seasonal products. Also I wasn't sure where to put this so I threw it in Free Tutorioals.
