Who You Should
Not
Target
1.
Hardcore Developers & Designers
- They want full control (themes, custom code, CMS flexibility).
- They’ll go to WordPress, Ghost, Webflow.
- BlogPro will never win against “maximum flexibility” — and competing here pulls you into endless feature bloat.
2.
Casual Free Bloggers
- People who just want a free diary/blog.
- They’ll churn fast, complain about price, and cost support time.
- Substack/Medium already dominate this group.
3.
Large Enterprises
- They need complex workflows, SSO, permissions, legal compliance.
- Selling here means heavy sales cycles, custom features, and slow velocity.
4.
Agencies & Client-Site Builders
- Agencies want multi-client dashboards, deep white-labeling, design freedom.
- You’d compete directly with Webflow/WordPress which is not your wedge.
Features You Should
Actively Fight Against
❌
Advanced Site Builders
- Drag-and-drop editors, pixel-perfect design tools.
- That path leads you into Webflow/WordPress land. Too heavy, endless requests.
❌
Generic AI Blogging
- Auto-writing blogs from prompts.
- Competing with Jasper, Copy.ai, Notion AI → impossible to win.
- Instead: focus on light AI assist (SEO suggestions, summaries, titles) tied to Notion workflow.
❌
Multi-CMS Support Too Early
- Supporting Obsidian, Google Docs, Roam, etc. from day one dilutes your moat.
- Build strongest Notion-first workflow before expanding.
❌
Enterprise Admin Features
- Team permissions, user roles, legal archiving.
- These drag you into enterprise SaaS. Not worth it for your stage.
❌
Over-customization
- Deep theme marketplaces, custom CSS frameworks, animations.
- Focus instead on “fast, beautiful, professional templates” that work out-of-the-box.
What You
Should
Double Down On
- Best-in-class Notion sync (zero-bug trust).
- SEO + analytics baked in.
- Growth loops (newsletter, simple monetization).
- Templates for startups/creators → faster setup, proven designs.
- Light AI assist tied directly to publishing workflow.
✅ This way, BlogPro becomes:
“The fastest path from Notion page → audience growth → monetization.”
Not a design playground. Not an enterprise CMS. Not a generic AI blog writer.
