Why I'm Done with Template Marketplaces

Pre-made templates give you a box. Prompt packs give you a blueprint to build any box you want.

I used to buy templates for everything: Notion dashboards, social media calendars, project trackers. But I always ended up spending hours customizing them. The structure never quite fit my workflow.

Prompt packs changed my approach. Instead of a rigid template, I get a set of instructions that generate exactly what I need. Need a content calendar? One prompt builds it. Want a different format? Change a parameter. It's like having a developer who follows your specs every time.

Templates are for people who want a finished product. Prompts are for people who want to build faster. I'll take the latter any day.
