A complete, research-backed database of 12 profitable personas — each analyzed across 14 strategic criteria to help you choose the right audience and validate winning product ideas.

If you're building apps, SaaS tools, courses, newsletters, or services, choosing the right audience is 80% of the outcome.

But most indie creators:

• guess who they’re building for
• chase generic niches
• target crowded markets
• or pick audiences that don’t pay

This leads to months of wasted work — and products that never find traction.

To avoid that, I built a persona analysis system I now use before starting any new app, SaaS, or digital product.

This document is the result:
12 real-world personas × 14 profitable criteria × dozens of actionable insights.

⭐ 📘 What You Get (Based on the Actual CSV Content)

A fully structured sheets matrix covering:

✔ 12 detailed personas

Directly from the file:

✔ 14 strategic criteria per persona

Each persona is analyzed across the exact columns you provided:

% Profitability Potential (%)

A realistic estimate of monetization strength.

❤️ Emotional Urgency

🛑 Barrier to Entry

Crowdedness vs difficulty, from “Low (crowded)” to “High (credentials/trust)”.

✋ Trend Resistance

Is the persona driven by fads or stable long-term needs?

🔁 Recurring Revenue Potential

Great for subscription-based apps & SaaS.

📱 App Ideas

Direct ideas suited to each persona’s pains.

🛟 Service Ideas

Freelance, coaching, or consulting ideas pulled from their pains.

⭐ Why I Created This

After building multiple apps and analyzing dozens of markets, I realized this simple truth:

👉 Success comes from choosing the right audience — not the right idea.

This matrix helps you choose an audience with real urgency, real pain, and real spending power before you start building.

It’s a tool you’ll reuse for years.
