He Found a Perfect Business That Anyone Can Start

A recent video from Chris Koerner…

I Found a Perfect Business That Anyone Can Start…

It’s a firewood business, and Chris lays out how he’s helping two college kids get it off the ground

One commenter writes…

Wow! That’s the most comprehensive 30 minutes video I’ve ever seen. Absolutely jam-packed with useful ideas, most of which would be applicable to any business!

Biggest starting cost is a log splitter = approx $1600.

Get the raw firewood free from tree trimming companies.

Cut it up and sell by the half cord = one full truck bed = $250-300 revenue

Chris shows how to do competitive research and find customers via Facebook Marketplace.

Probably a lot of local service businesses you could try with this approach, maybe copy Chris and have local college kids do the grunt work while you oversee everything

Bonus: if you live on a busy road, check the 16:20 mark of the video to see how you could make money by letting people advertise in your driveway.

Use This App To Generate UGC Videos For Clients

Matt WelterFounder of ReelFarm $10,000 revenue in 35 days

Check out ReelFarm

Automate TikToks that drive traffic to your website

it’s like a gen z marketing team, but way cheaper

It’s basically a quick and cheap way to create UGC videos (example here).

Matt Welter launched the app at the end of December and it earned him $10K in 35 days

I’m thinking you could use that app to create UGC videos for clients.

People are making good money from these types of videos on Fiverr and Upwork

Granted, ReelFarm won’t create such highly-customized UGC videos, so you wouldn’t be able to charge a high price.

This would be more of a quantity over quality play.

But you could still build a thriving business that way

$200,000 Per Year From His Boring Agency Business

Saleh AhmedFounder of Rank Wizards $200,000 annual revenue

Founder Reports has an interview with Saleh Ahmed…

the founder of Rank Wizards, an SEO agency that has grown from humble beginnings into a $200,000 [per year] business.

The origins…

I began my journey in the digital marketing space in 2015 as an SEO writer on Upwork

Saleh grew that business into a big content creation agency, but as Google stopped rewarding content-heavy sites, and with the emergence of AI…

we then pivoted to an organic marketing agency for software startups, with a knack for SEO…

We get paid for our services of SEO, Authority Links, Subject Matter Expert content team management. With some one-time contracts, we mostly have monthly retainer clients.

Nothing fancy there.

Saleh and his team simply learned valuable skills that they could offer to clients

$6000 Per Month From His Tiny Local Food Newsletter

Matthew SchniperFounder of Side Dish with Schniper $6000 monthly revenue

Matthew Schniper is the founder of the newsletter Side Dish with Schniper…

Expertly curated food & drink news + reviews inside Colorado Springs’ culinary scene

Population of Colorado Springs = 500,000. 

Matthew was an editor for a local newspaper and started his newsletter in 2023 after that paper shut down.

He now has 2000 subscribers

And according to a recent interview, that’s enough to earn him $6000 per month.

Instead of selling traditional ads or charging subscribers, Matthew created an exclusive 12-member sponsorship model.

Sponsors (restaurants, bars, coffee shops) pay $500/month for year-round visibility

Each sponsor gets…

Logo in every newsletterWeekly listing updatesDedicated feature month with promotional contentOptional in-person pop-up eventsBrand ambassadorship

a recent edition of the newsletter

Sounds like this could be emulated in any city with a good food culture.

The exclusive sponsorship model might also work for non-food local newsletters

Vertical AI Agents = Billion Dollar Business Potential

Fernando PessagnoFounder of aiCarousels $5000 monthly revenue

A tweet from Y Combinator, the famous startup accelerator

At a recent event, a founder asked [OpenAI CEO] Sam Altman “If you were 24 and starting a startup today, what would you build?”  

His answer: A vertical AI agent.

They elaborate in an attached video…

there is a straightforward way to generate startup ideas likely to turn into billion dollar companies and not many people knew about it yet…

The ideas I’m talking about are Vertical AI Agents…

It’s just some software built on top of LLMs that can automate some particular kind of work. 

So, for example, an AI tax accountant, an AI medical biller, an AI phone support agent, an AI quality assurance tester. 

There are dozens of categories like these and it’s easy to imagine that there will be a billion dollar company in every single one.

Concrete example: AiCarousels.com took something you can do in Canva and made it an entire app that was earning $5000/mo within a year

Single Serving Website Ideas That Can Earn $10K Per Month

Ian Nuttall tweets…

Single serving package/wrapper ideas that can make $10k/mo “passively”

The idea is that the user Googles a niche problem, finds your site, pays $5 to fix the problem. Here are 20 examples that could be built in a day (or couple of days) with problems users would be willing to pay for.

The first ten

AI + Old Solution = 3 Big Bags Of Money

A tweet from Rachid, who runs Rising Trends…

AI + Old Solution =

Our tool has spotted many trending keywords that highlight students shifting to AI solutions.

All you need to do is build an AI-version of the old solution.

A trend he highlights: AI Quiz Generator

More and more people are searching for related keywords.

One key player in this space that is killing it is Revisely.com…

started only back in Aug 2023 (1.5 years ago) and are now getting an estimated traffic 1.3 million…

This shows you can build a real business in under 2 years in this space.

Rachid’s advice for taking advantage of this “massive opportunity”…

1/ Pick one of these keywords (for example, “ai flashcard generator”)

2/ Choose one popular test or exam (ex: SAT) that people are in great need to use flashcards for.

3/ Build a mobile or web app

4/ Use paid ads or SEO to drive traffic

Busy Mom Built This $375K Business in 15 Hours Per Week

Corina HoldenFounder of Now That I Can Do $375,000 annual revenue

A recent interview with Corina Holden on YouTube…

How I Built a $375,000 Business Working 15 Hours per Week (Full Guide)…

Corina is described in the intro as…

A mom of five who runs an amazing business helping women take the guesswork out of getting dressed

Corina’s site: Now That I Can Do

Monetized in a few ways, including what-to-wear outfit calendars (example).

And apparently Corina is building a SaaS product with the aim of earning recurring revenue.

Anyway, I’m thinking other people could do something like this but for different niches.

For example

Plus-size womenOlder womenBusiness womenMen (could go even more niche here)

It wouldn’t be an overnight success – Corina has been building her biz since 2016 – but clearly it’s something there’s a market for

$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 year

Randomly 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 pitch

He 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
