I don't understand the value prop, at least not to make me pay $49. I'm not the target audience clearly, but this seems like a mechanical, low sophistication task, why don't I just use gemini or whatever to do this for free? If I already pay $20/month for any LLM that's multi modal I can do this now already.

The asset (animated doodles) doesn't really connect me to how I'm going to get a better click through rate.

I think for this to work you need a specific niche that resonates with people more, like you have a "proven way to get a better CTR for $niche topic with this asset pack which bundles the animated doodles plus a playbook for how to use them" or something like that.

Thanks mate you cleared my view, i need to market it differently. I can understand without seeing actual product no one can predict sells. When you talk about generating with AI same as my output it will cost you around 80-120 days.

Thanks for the feedback KingKongjaffa. I'll work on hero section.
