$400K From His Online School Launched A Few Months Ago
Ben IssenFounder of Side School $400,000+ estimated revenue
From an interview with Ben Issen…
Right after university, I started a personal incubator called Supercreative that built tools for freelance designers.
I designed, coded, and marketed over 18 tools, some with the help of developers with whom I split profits. After four years, I sold eight of these tools… and moved on to build a school for adults.
So, I’m now the co-founder of Side School, where we teach practical AI skills with challenge-based learning…
We launched a few months ago…
Our one-month bootcamps cost $1400 per person… We’re getting close to 350 students
That adds up to $490,000 
Here’s the twist: they’re focused entirely on the French-speaking market for now.
And French is only the 20th most widely-spoken language in the world 
Easy to imagine online AI schools like this doing well in other languages.
Could you build one yourself? 
Or partner with an AI expert to build it?

$17,975 Last Month From Affiliate Marketing & Google Maps
Think SmartYouTuber $197,000 revenue in 1 yearRandomly found this recent YouTube video…
How I Made $197K From Affiliate Marketing and Google Maps!…The guy shows how he earned $197K via the Fiverr affiliate program last year, including $18K last month 
His process…
Sign up for the Fiverr affiliate programPick a well-reviewed Pro service to promote (eg. social media marketing)Use Google Maps to find businesses who could use that serviceDM those businesses (or call, if you prefer)Pitch them the service you are promotingInclude affiliate link in your pitchHe uses ChatGPT to write the pitch, and you could probably automate a lot more of the prospect finding and outreach here as well 
UPDATE
Having browsed other videos on that channel, it looks like the guy is posting his Fiverr affiliate links all over the web (Pinterest, Facebook, YouTube, etc.)
He needed 7 million clicks to generate that $197K in commissions. So this is quite a spammy way to make money

Fake News Websites Earning $10,000’s Per Month
Babylon BeeSatire Website $1+ Million monthly revenue
New video from Spencer Haws…
He actually shares 4 “fake news” or satire websites.
The first two are huge and hard to replicate
But Spencer also shares two smaller examples that could be run – or at least started – by one person.
The first 
Sad and Useless
Mainly curating funny links and memes, big Facebook following, earns an estimated $2100/month from display ads.
Second The Hard Times
Started as a punk rock satire site, later expanded to politics, video games, etc. 2M+ monthly visitors. Spencer estimates $40K+ per month from ads, sponsorships, merch
I’m thinking there could be a profitable site like this for many a niche.
Maybe start with a Facebook page or Instagram account, share funny stories and memes, eventually drive traffic to a site on the same topic

Posting On LinkedIn Led To This $1.3M/Year Business
Anthony PierriCo-founder of Fletch PMM $1.3 Million annual revenueAnthony Pierri is the co-founder of Fletch PMM, an agency that helps startups “discover their ideal product positioning and bring it to life.”
According to a recent interview
Anthony and his co-founder came up with their business idea while working at another agency…
[We] were tasked with creating a service that… could be delivered repeatedly to the same target customer…
I started to post on LinkedIn as a way to uncover what type of service offering would resonate.
The market started to pull us towards both positioning and homepage rewrites based on the content we were producing. As we built an audience, people started to reach out to us more frequently for help with their positioning.
So they started their own thing to fill that demand
Scroll back through Anthony’s LinkedIn to see the content he was posting.
Try this yourself: post regularly on LinkedIn or within a niche community, see if you can uncover a problem that needs solving for your audience

Free Startup Idea With Code: Try On Clothes With AI
Colleen Schnettler tweets…
Free startup idea -> Try on clothes with AI! Why?
Because I hate shopping.
How to monetize -> brand partnerships or people like me (busy professionals who don’t like to shop)
Over the break I rebuilt this chrome extension for AI clothing try on using Replicate and Simple File Upload
She then links to her code on GitHub 
Here’s a 30-second video of the extension in action…
Something to build on.
$8,800 From Her Small Website Last Year
Victoria KurichenkoBlogger $8800 revenue in 1 yearAn article by Victoria Kurichenko…
$8.8k from My Small Website in 2024Her website: SelfMadeMillennials.com
She writes…
I only published 12 blog posts and updated a few existing pages last year. I didn’t even touch link-building!
All the recent Google updates actually benefited Victoria…
Google started experimenting with search results, giving smaller, lesser-known websites a chance to shine.
And that’s exactly what happened to my site… [it now] gets over 10,000 visitors every month.
Over half of that traffic lands on one specific page, AI SEO tools I published in January 2024.
She lists a bunch of AI SEO tools on that page, affiliate linking to several.
$8.8K in a year isn’t a ton of money, but it shows there’s still life in the old affiliate SEO game.
Victoria again…
Honestly, I love this business model:1) Write a high-quality, optimized blog post.
2) Let it rank.
3) Monetize it with affiliate links.
4) Watch the passive income roll in.

$1000/Month From His Copycat App Within 2 Weeks
Thomas KimFounder of Montee AI $1000 monthly revenueA recent video from Thomas Kim…
How I Code Apps SOLO That Actually Make Money (Idea + Build + Marketing Guide)…Thomas has built ~14 apps in 3 years and says he’s now earning “a couple thousand bucks” per month
One he highlights is Montee AI, an AI-powered tool that records meetings for you and transcribes them.
Coming up with the idea…
I saw a lot of other AI meeting recording apps and tools out there making a ton of money [so I realized] clearly there’s a big market for this.
So in the beginning I just rebuilt what the other apps were already doing and over time I slowly differentiated
Looks like Thomas only launched that app back in September, and…
I was able to scale to $1,000 in monthly recurring revenue within like 1-2 weeks because the market was already validated
He goes on to talk about how to build an app (even if you’re not a coder), and how to market it 
With that in mind, what successful apps do you see online?
How about building your own version?

They Raised $1.3 Million For This Weird AI Use Case
RetellioAI Tool $1.3 Million raised#21 on Glen Allsopp’s recent income report…
Retellio Raised $1.3M for One of the Most Interesting AI Use Cases I’ve Ever Seen Glen’s explanation…
Retellio essentially monitors all company calls – like sales calls and customer support calls – and turns them into a 30-minute weekly podcast so business leaders can stay on top of what is happening in their business.
AI is then used to spot trends, common issues and important discussions to include in each summary.
Gets me thinking: what other busy professionals would listen to an AI-generated podcast that keeps them informed?
I know my GP never has time to keep up with the latest in medical research or technology, so perhaps that’s a niche that could use something like this.
Podcasts are ideal for busy people, can listen to them while doing something else (eg. driving, exercising, cooking, etc.)
Easy enough nowadays to monitor and summarize the latest news in an industry with AI, then turn it into a podcast with NotebookLM

Renter Friendly: Lots of People Searching For This Nowadays
The Exploding Ideas newsletter highlights the growing interest in the term “renter friendly,” especially in the USA…
Renter-friendly solutions are products or methods that allow tenants to enhance their spaces without violating lease agreements or causing damage.
Examples
Looks like there are lots of low hanging keywords in this niche.
In the past I would have recommended starting a niche website for this and monetizing with affiliate links.
But affiliate SEO is a much tougher game nowadays
I could see someone doing well with a YouTube channel dedicated to this niche, or an Instagram account.
Another possibility: a dropshipping store for renter friendly items
