He Put a Paywall on Drinking Water & Escaped The Matrix

Cormac HaydenFounder of Oasis $20,000+ monthly revenue

Cormac Hayden tweets a screenshot of $23,084 received from Apple Inc and adds…

Still can’t believe I wake up to this every month

No ads
No investors
No outsourcing
No coding degree

His product is Oasis, an app that reports on water quality

Cormac built the app with “cursor and chat” – so basically figuring it out as he went along – and started with 0 followers.

Took him several months to gain traction, sounds like TikTok was key

One doubter tweeted…

Great idea, horrible execution bro. In a world of free accessible information nobody is paying a subscription to look ar water stats

Clearly not the case.

Trademarkia ($5M/year) is another example of a business making big money selling data they don’t own

What other info is freely available but hard to access or interpret?

Try building a business around that.

This Small TikTok Account Could Be Earning $100K+ Per Month

BrookeTikTok Influencer $50,000+ estimated monthly revenue

Check out this TikTok from early November

Movie theaters are dead because of this

Just a casual video of a woman showing off a home projector that you can buy via TikTok Shop and she earns a commission for every sale

The video has 21 million views even though the channel only has ~15k followers.

On YouTube, Jason Lee shows (2:52 mark) an estimate that the video generated $432,880 in sales in a recent 7-day period…

Even with a 5% commission, that is $20,000 a week, which is $86,000 a month, from one product and one video.

And the channel is all videos of the same woman showing off different products.

Even though it’s a relatively small channel, I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s earning $100,000+ per month

Looks like the most effective way to do affiliate marketing these days.

How about trying it yourself?

Turn This SEO Framework Into a Productized Service

Tameem Rahman (aka the SaaStronaut) tweets…

SaaS SEO will only require 5 types of content that you can complete in < 100 days in 2025.

I call it the “F.A.C.T.S.” framework… a survival guide for SEO content that actually drive LEADS and REVENUE for SaaS companies.

He goes on to break down the 5 parts

Feature PagesAlternativesComparison PagesTutorials / How-To GuidesSpecific Use-Case Listicles

Strikes me that you could offer this as a productized service, actually go and create these pages for SaaS companies.

How would you find SaaS companies willing to pay for this?

Google startups that have recently received funding and you’ll find several lists.

You might need to start with a smaller startup at a discounted rate, prove you can deliver results and build a nice cast study, leverage that to land bigger clients

$35,000 Profit in 2 Years From a Couple of Side Projects

Deepak MehtaSerial Entrepreneur $35,000 estimated profit

From a recent interview with Deepak Mehta

In 2022, i started by acquiring two microsaas projects actions.so and chartmat.com which I sold in 2023 and early 2024 respectively. 

Both of them were sold for 5 figures…

Actions.so wasn’t monetized when he acquired it, got it to $500 MRR pretty quick, sold within 6 months for 3x the original purchase price

Chartmat was making $300 when acquired, Deepak got it to $30K ARR before selling for “almost 2x” what he paid.

If we assume Deepak bought each product for $5000, he likely earned approx $45,000 via revenue + the eventual sales = $35K profit

A nice ROI for a couple of side projects.

(Deepak works full time as PM for a large bank.)

This part is key…

It took me 1-2 months of research and patience before i found what products i want to buy. I was mainly looking to aquire as i didn’t wanted to spend time building MVP and quickly test the market.

Unclear where Deepak sourced his projects, but he sold them both via Acquire.com, so you could try looking for similar opportunities there yourself

Buy, improve + grow profit, then flip.

He Earned $105,550 Last Month Selling Emojis Online

Alexandru TurcanuFounder of Genmoji $105,550 revenue in 1 month

Alexandru Turcanu tweets…

I made $105,550 in November 2024 by selling emojis online:

◆ $99.4k from App Store after fees
◆ $6.1k from Stripe web purchases

Check out his site and iPhone app

App description…

Craft personalized emojis using the brilliance of AI with a simple prompt.

So you can type “happy green dino wearing a santa hat” and get back an AI-generated emoji that you can instantly message to friends

There’s a free version of the app. 

Premium version costs $2.95/m or $9.95/y.

Alex launched it about a year ago as a side project

He basically took something people already liked using (emojis) and added AI to the mix so it’s more customized / unique. 

What else could you do this for?

Perhaps…

Personalized stickers or decalsCustom animated GIFsCustomized memesPersonalized phone wallpapers

His 2 Job Boards Earned $5000 Combined in November

Nithur MahendranFounder of Mo AI Jobs $5000 monthly revenue

Nithur Mahendran’s two job boards

realworkfromanywhere.com (2 years old)moaijobs.com (10 months old)

Nithur writes…

Job boards are little bit tricky but not impossible to pull off. The most obvious bet you have to invest in if you want to build a job board is SEO…

People think building a job board is hard because no one wants to pay to promote their job ads anymore. That’s not true. People still willing to pay if you have good enough traffic…

You don’t need any capital to start a job board if you know some SEO and programming (Don’t worry if you don’t know how to program, Claude can help you. )

We previously featured Nithur back in May…

Launched His Job Board in 2 Hours, Just Hit $1000 Revenue

Another niche job board story…

Perfect Side Project Has Earned Him $399,109

How about building a job board for a different niche? 

Or focused on a specific geo?

2 Business Ideas From Photo AI Software

SagorYouTube Thumbnail Designer $1000 estimated daily revenue

Photo AI lets you upload a few selfies, then generates endless photos of you with different poses / clothing / expressions

I tried it out and made this video…

Photo AI $99 Review – is it worth signing up for the yearly plan? …

I share 2 business ideas at the end of the video.

First is to use Photo AI to become a YouTube thumbnail designer.

This guy from Bangladesh is likely earning $1000 per day making YouTube thumbnails for clients on Fiverr

Instead of offering a similar service on Fiverr, probably better to directly pitch popular YouTubers with crappy thumbnails (example), send them samples of your work.

Second idea: Photo AI doesn’t excel with YouTube thumbnails, and I suspect there’s a market for a niche version that does a great job with that one feature.

Photo AI apparently earns $120,000 per month

I reckon a niche version could pull in around 20% of that = $24,000 per month.

He’s Earning $2000/Month Posting Football Clips on YouTube

Football CreatorYouTuber $2000 monthly revenue

A recent 22m video posted on YouTube

How I Make Money On Football Videos…

The creator owns football/soccer highlight channels such as iGooner (176k subs) and Nost FC (46k).

He shows that he’s earned…

$100K+ from his channels since starting in 2020$5500 from this one video: Most CONTROVERSIAL Matches… $31,000 in ~18 months from a new channel

And apparently he only posts 2 videos per month on average

He does sell a course on how to do this for $49/month, so the video is a bit of a sales pitch, but he drops a lot of free knowledge in there.

Prompting another channel to comment…

 Coming from a football channel with 4M subscribers, he describes things very well! 

How about following the advice in the video to create your own sports highlights channel?

This Unofficial McDonalds Website Earns $700 Per Month

mcds-menu.comWebsite $700 estimated monthly revenue

Check out this website mcds-menu.com…

an unofficial guide to McDonald’s menus, prices, nutrition information, and more. We created this site as a handy reference for customers seeking the latest details on McDonald’s offerings.

Similarweb estimates the site gets 278k visits per month

Monetized with Google display ads, it could be earning about $700 per month (source).

This sent me down a rabbit hole, looking for other unofficial menu sites for popular restaurants…

subwaymenupedia.com – 92k monthly visitsmcdophmenu.com – 47kstarbucksmenu.co.uk – 10k

Not huge money to be made here, but sites like that could be spun up pretty quick

Create and update the content with AI software like Koala or ZimmWriter.

They have access to the internet so they can pull the latest data.
