IDEAL FOR

Ideal for creatives with a strong visual sense and design software skills.

FIT CHECK

Great for designers of warm-up exercises and printable rituals for creative professionals or focused teams.

STEP-BY-STEP BUSINESS STARTUP

1. Create concept sketches or visual prompts for storytelling
2. Design as printed cards or digital flipbooks
3. Sell to writers, animators, or DMs
4. Bundle by theme (mystery, sci-fi, everyday)
5. Include blank versions for remixing

COMMON MISTAKES

Not clarifying challenge structure, bundling unrelated warm-ups, or offering vague creativity claims.

LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY (LLC) CONSIDERATIONS

Developing constraint-based challenges or creative warm-ups qualifies as structured IP — forming an LLC is essential for ownership and scale. Distributing world-building or storytelling idea tools requires content management — an LLC helps scale and protect that work. Creating printable creative warm-ups?
