$2000/Month Selling Amazon Items on eBay

Sammy writes…
I’ve made $1K–$3K/month consistently on eBay for 8 years. No ads. No inventory. No upfront costs. Here’s exactly what I do…
1. I create a business eBay account.
2. I list 2–3 random items manually (books, mugs, etc) to warm it up.
3. A few days later, I start listing items from Amazon with a markup.
4. Every time I list something, eBay gives it a boost in search.
5. Some sell. Some don’t. I end the stale ones and relist them to trigger the boost again.
That’s it. I list in volume, and let the algorithm do the filtering.
People ask, “Why would anyone buy it if it’s cheaper on Amazon?” The answer is simple: most people don’t compare. They search, see it, and buy it. Convenience wins.
I don’t try to pick winners. I just let the system decide. I don’t bet on one product. I run the play 10,000 times.
Sounds legit but Sammy admits to being the founder of a $200/month automation tool that helps people run this kind of business.
So take it with a grain of salt

$200K Per Year Sharing Industry-Specific AI Tips

Matt McGarry writes…
#8 is to create a newsletter sharing industry-specific AI tips and tactics
This idea is modeled after Write with AI.
It’s a weekly paid newsletter that trains people how to write with AI. They send a new ChatGPT / AI prompt to your inbox every week.
It costs $20/month or $200/year. They already have $200K in ARR through the paid newsletter subscription.
You can take this concept and apply it to other categories like:
• AI for marketers
• AI for lawyers
• How to design with AI using Midjourney or DALL·E
You don’t need to be an AI expert to do this either.
Simply research and share practical AI use cases for your industry

A Shortcut For Finding Good Product Ideas
Andrea Bosoni tweets it…
look at the narratives influencers are pushing and tap into the demand they’re creating.
Just look at Bryan Johnson and what he’s doing around longevity.
It’s not a coincidence that many new startups are launching in the health monitoring space.
Doing this removes the burden of having to educate an unaware audience and shortens the sales cycle.
What big influencers are you following?
What narratives are they pushing?
Can you ride that wave somehow?
Peter Dgt follows up with a ChatGPT prompt to find product ideas, beginning with…
You are a 0.1% market researcher who focuses solely on fundamental truths
Culture is shifting — identify not passing trends, but true monumental shifts that have at least six months of behavioral evidence in the market.
Focus on areas where users are already aware of the need (no education required), but the market is underserved — meaning there is clear demand but low supply.
She’s Earned $150K As a Creator on LinkedIn

If you’re thinking to build an audience, consider doing it on LinkedIn
From a recent report…
Creators are flocking to LinkedIn — and brands’ dollars are right behind them.
As LinkedIn positions itself more firmly as a home for creators, influencer marketers who operate within the platform’s ecosystem say that their business is booming.
One example cited
LinkedIn creator April Little, who has over 250,000 followers on LinkedIn and said that she has earned approximately $150,000 through LinkedIn brand partnerships over the past two years.
Looks like April was highly successful in the corporate world before becoming a creator on LinkedIn
But another creator we highlighted recently shows that you don’t need a great background or a big following to earn good money this way…

You built a shortcut with a fanbase.

This Marketplace Launched His $25K/Month Business

Ilia Pirozhenko writes…
I founded Perfect Wiki — a SaaS product for creating internal company knowledge bases that works directly within Microsoft Teams…
I gradually grew to a steady income of $250,000 a year over five years… Right now, I earn around $25,000 per month [90% profit margin].
He got laid off in 2020 and tried building a translator app for the Zoom Marketplace, then the Microsoft Teams Marketplace
That app didn’t pan out but Ilia sensed there was plenty of opportunity in the latter marketplace…
I decided to dive deeper into analyzing what other problems Microsoft Teams users were facing and what kind of service I could offer them. I was confident I’d find a niche because the traffic and activity on the marketplace were high — a ready-made customer base was just in front of me. I just needed to find a product idea that would solve a real problem.
Check out the Microsoft Teams Marketplace, look for apps with lots of low ratings, see if you can build something better
Her 1-Person Business Earns $200,000+ Per Year

From an interview with the founder of Pretty Little Marketer…
Sophie Miller is a leading marketing community expert and content creator who has built a global following of over 600,000 across platforms… she specializes in making social media simple while placing community at the heart of her marketing strategies.
She started the business as a student in mid-2020…
I felt overwhelmed by the marketing industry and noticed a significant gap; there wasn’t a space that made marketing accessible while providing the comfort of community, so I decided to create it myself.
Her first paid product was a £2.50 LinkedIn webinar
Now…
Sophie’s income is split between brand partnerships, speaking fees and her PLM membership income. For the past three years, she’s been a multi-six-figure earner, and she’s set to double last year’s numbers this year.
Love how her idea for the biz came from noticing “a significant gap” in the industry she was interested in.
What do you wish existed in your target niche/industry? How about filling that gap yourself?
