I don't know if you prefer to be a solopreneur, but there is a trend of monthly design agency subscriptions slowly appearing (which means working on different projects). You could try to find them and reflect if you see yourself going in that way :)
Looking for part-time / contract / fractional product management gigs over the next few months. I specialise in design-focused PM (as an ex designer), early stage startups, B2C health-care and B2B SaaS. I know freelance PD is a thing, but anyone would consider it for PMs?
Here are two agencies I recently came across (and which seem awesome to work in if you have experience) offmenu.design bitesized.design
I'm curious, what do you have in mind for this idea? Oh, and the co-founder of these agencies above made a simple tweet about productizing your services like he did. Here: x.com/_hunterhammonds/…
But yeah, I think the most difficult part is to define your niche and stick to it for a while. That's why people say to either niche on what you love or where you already have work experience.
I believe you could help a lot of early-stage startups, maybe you could even find yourself working in the UX Strategy too :) + I think the best way to make this a market fit is to build awareness about why it's important and how you've impacted other companies.
Strangely, YouTube suggested me a video about fractional design leadership lol. Here is the video timeframe if you feel interested: youtube.com/live/hVnfgYd3X…
