19 Business Ideas Free for the Taking!
#5 is live selling services on TikTok…
There was this lady in China that made $13.7 million in just seven days doing live selling on Douyin, China’s version of TikTok.
It’s basically like being a virtual salesperson. Companies send you their products, and you go live, showing them off, one after another…
… you don’t even need a following. The app’s algorithm does it for you. If your selling style clicks with people, the platform will find your audience for you.
For someone who’s comfortable on camera and has decent sales chops, this could be a great opportunity.

Cemetery Plot Maintenance & CleaningCreating Memorial KeepsakesStarting a Support Group YouTube ChannelSelling Funeral Stationery & KeepsakesI really liked the sound of the first one, went searching and found a recent success story in the NY Post
Shaun Tookey, 31, has cleaned more than 300 graves since he began his side business in May 2023.
Families will pay him between $187 and $312 for a deep clean and $437 and $562 for a deep clean, repainted lettering and decorative chippings for headstones belonging to loved ones.
He said it can take him up to two hours and he cleans between two and four graves a day
To get started, Kimberly recommends contacting funeral homes and funeral parlors in your area, build relationships there and see if they’d be willing to connect you with their clients 
Simple Chrome Extension = $150/Day Passive Income
hymnzzyFounder of AIS Visa Auto Rescheduler $150 per day
u/hymnzzy posts on Reddit…
I created a Chrome Extension for an extremely lacking feature on a certain website. It’s a freemium thing. Clocks $150 daily on average…
I didn’t advertise anywhere else except making a post on a Reddit sub for unethical tips
It took 6 months before it started getting any traction. Now it’s just passive income.
This Jan 2024 comment might be the “advertisement” they alluded to.
The extension, launched in mid-2023 
AIS Visa Auto Rescheduler
This extension reschedules US Visa application appointment [on this website] to an earlier date automatically.
Got me thinking: what other big websites are lacking features that a Chrome Extension could fix? 
Probably a lot of government websites.

$750 MRR in 5 Months Despite Massive Competition
Jacky LiangFounder of Answer HQ $750 monthly revenue Jacky Liang recently posted on Reddit…
His business is Answer HQ…
an AI customer service assistant for small businesses and startups. Started this as a side project after getting laid off last September, and yesterday we hit $750 MRR
Jacky says “we” but he’s doing this alone…
Running this solo alongside my day job, 80% margins
Sounds like his TikTok has been key for marketing 
Jacky mentions in the comments that his day job is related to AI, so he obviously had an advantage there.
But here’s what strikes me
There are literally hundreds of AI customer service products on the market, yet a solo developer can still build and launch something within 6 months that earns a decent income.
So as I’ve said many times before: don’t be afraid of competition.
Is there a successful product or service out there that you find to be overpriced or lacking in some way?
How about building your own, better version?
Niche Study Guide Selling on Amazon = $8.7K/Month Profit
UnknownAmazon KDP Business $8790 monthly profitDetails from this Flippa listing
I searched for ASVAB study guides on Amazon but couldn’t find the exact business 
Sounds like they’re selling more than just ebooks though…
The use of a dedicated web app and email support enhances the study process by providing interactive learning tools like practice tests, flashcards, and study guides.
Anyway, this got me thinking…
What other study guides could you sell on Amazon?
Is there a standardized exam for a niche/industry/profession that you’re familiar with?
Could be worth checking if there are any existing guides on Amazon, and if they’re any good.
The above business only launched in 2023 and they’ve been able to compete with all the existing players

JonasFounder of ScrapeTheMap $1000 in 10 days
Someone named Jonas recently posted on Reddit…
10 days ago, I launched ScrapeTheMap—a simple Google Maps scraper for lead generation and competitor analysis… I’ve hit $1,000 in revenue within the first week!
Sounds like his marketing was mainly this earlier post on Reddit.
2-minute demo of the product on YouTube, can see how easy it is to get contact info for local businesses 
…
It’s a paid tool, but only a one-time fee.
And it strikes me as one of those “keystone tools” that you could build a business around.
Use it to find leads for your own products / services, or for clients.
For example, you could use it to quickly get contact details for
Earning $16K/Month From Her Flower Truck
Vienna HintzeOwner of Main Street Flower Truck $16,000 monthly revenueVienna Hintze is a 29-year-old living in Los Angeles, and the owner of Main Street Flower Truck (Instagram) 
She sells fresh flowers out of the truck and rents it out for events…
I’m making a bulk of my money from when the truck is hired to be somewhere.
The business profiled last year on YouTube…
Bringing In $16K/Month Running My Own Business In LA…Unclear how profitable it is but she says she’s never taken any loans or outside funding
Here’s the crazy thing: Vienna only started the business in 2023.
And she’s competing with 200+ regular flower shops in Los Angeles 
Her edge is taking a traditional brick-and-mortar business and making it mobile.
What else could you do this with?
Personally, I’d love to have an at-home, full-service car wash in my area 
As it is, I have to book a day and time way in advance, bring my car there, wait around for 3 hours until they’re finished, then drive home.
I’d happily pay extra for them to come to my home and do it, way more convenient.
Get Paid $25/Hour To Train AI (No Experience Required)
Riley WillisAI Contractor $25 per hour From Entrepreneur.com…
Article is about Riley Willis, “an AI contractor, working in data annotation through a company called DataAnnotation.tech”
Willis said his days consist of “fact-checking” the output of various AI models — but only because that’s what he chooses to take on.
He says DataAnnotation.tech offers a variety of projects for contract workers to choose from, including teaching AI to improve its creative writing and coding skills.
His starting rate was $20/hour, now averages $25/hour 
Riley says you can do this as a side hustle as well, spend a couple of hours a day at it.

Launch a Service Business With This $29/Mo AI Tool
A story from Tuesday’s newsletter
A key growth channel for that founder, Thomas Sanlis…
Using RedReach, I track Reddit discussions about Product Hunt alternatives, allowing me to join conversations where Uneed might be relevant. Don’t underestimate Reddit: It’s growing every day.
From the Redreach homepage…
Redreach finds high impact Reddit conversations to help you naturally promote your product and get more sales.
– Get into relevant Reddit posts ranking high on Google

Here’s Thomas on Reddit, and an example of him promoting Uneed.
The idea sign up for Redreach ($29/mo) and launch a service where you help busy founders promote their product on Reddit.
First step: message 10 founders you know/follow and ask if they’d be interested
Bonus: I couldn’t find a Twitter equivalent of Redreach, might be an opportunity to build something there.

Might be worth doing some keyword research, see if there’s an opportunity for a job board in a different niche
Sounds like a fairly passive business once you have it set up.
