The Webflow Marketplace = $100 Million Opportunity

Matt Espinoza tweets…

There’s a $100M opportunity for the person who builds the top apps on the Webflow marketplace.

– Still in beta
– 10M visits a month
– Less than 200 apps

Simply clone the top apps on WordPress then put them on Webflow.

Webflow is a website builder, similar to WordPress.

Check out the Webflow apps marketplace here, and compare to the WordPress plugins directory for inspiration

Someone replied to Matt on X…

There are so much opportunities like this: Salesforce Marketplace, Quickbooks/Xero Marketplace, Stripe too…

Building niche apps for small marketplaces is a HUGE deal

Growing Business Opportunity in the Interior Design Market

Eric writes in the Exploding Ideas newsletter…

The Japandi design trend, a fusion of Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian functionality, is becoming a significant force in the global interior design market.

Google Trends shows the growing interest in Japandi

Eric has a keyword research screenshot in the newsletter – lots of nice low-competition keywords there.

His ideas…

Businesses can capitalize by developing guides like “Japandi Bathroom Ideas” or “How to Style a Japandi Living Room.”

Companies can either design products that align with Japandi principles or monetize this demand through affiliate marketing with curated product guides.

Personally, I like the idea of a blog or website that curates nice examples of Japandi design, would be easy enough to rank for lots of the aforementioned keywords.

Monetize with guides and/or affiliate marketing like Eric suggests

Or you could go the video route here, highlight the best examples of Japandi design on YouTube, TikTok and/or Instagram.

Build An Entire Competitor Intelligence System for $200

Greg Isenberg tweets…

you can build an entire competitor intelligence system with AI and automation for $200

monitor your competitors github commits for development speed

track job postings for strategy shifts

analyze app reviews for weak points

scan pricing pages for positioning changes

claude synthesizes everything into daily briefs

n8n automates the whole flow

notion dashboard makes it digestible

used to cost $10k/month for similar insights

now it runs on autopilot for $200

it’s a beautiful thing

Basically a bunch of ideas there for a B2B SaaS or a productized service

For example…

analyze app reviews for weak points

Sign up for the service, input the URL of a competitor on the app store / Amazon / Etsy, get back an AI-generated summary of critical reviews

Btw, it’s easier than ever to build SaaS apps nowadays.

Even an 11 year old with no experience can build a working app in a few hours

Business Plan: $50K/Month Crossfit Niche Marketing Agency

Joe Davies lays it out in this video …

Viability…

There are 5000 CrossFit gyms [in the USA]… if you can convert 1% of those 5000 gyms… that’ll get you 50 clients.

To start, offer a low-commitment entry service like building a high-converting landing page and running ads.

Charge $500–$1000 for the trial run (including ad spend) and guarantee a certain number of leads to build trust

Get those results, then upsell to $1000/month retainers.

If all goes well, you can add on other services (eg. SEO, GMB optimization, etc.) and charge more

Build case studies of your most successful clients, leverage those to land others.

If you’re struggling to get any takers, Joe suggests doing the first 2 free of charge.

And if the CrossFit niche doesn’t tickle your fancy, you could always try this approach with another niche

He Went From $0 to $18,000 in Only 2 Months

Rob HallamWeb Developer $15,000 revenue in one month

Rob Hallam tweeted about his failures back in August…

In the last 11 months I’ve made a whopping $0!

I’ve been living entirely off savings.

I’m frustrated, tired, and a little lost

He went on to document 4 failures, all web apps.

Rob only had 2k followers on X, but his tweet went viral and someone suggested in the comments…

you should start an MVP service. $2-5k to ship an MVP app, extension, whatever… optional monthly retainer for updates, bug fixes etc.

Rob did just that

A month later he’d earned $3000.

The following month: $15,000

So Rob learned a lot from building his own (unprofitable) apps, and leveraged AI to 10x his productivity.

Shared his journey on X, including his struggles, built an audience

Launched his productized service off the back of that.

Shows the value of building an audience, even if you don’t have anything to sell them yet.

How about sharing your journey on social media?

Never know what opportunities you’ll unlock

$50,000+ From His Notion Template + Service Upgrade

Xavier CoiffardFounder of UserBooster $52,000 estimated revenue

French entrepreneur Xavier Coiffard shares in an interview how he launched UserBooster a few years back…

I couldn’t find a clear overview of websites to promote the startup [I worked for]. So I started curating it myself and turned it into a Notion template.

3 pricing tiers

– A playbook on how to launch your startup for $49
– The playbook + a list of 500 websites to launch your startup for $99
– A service where we submit your startup to 80 directories for $399

Marketing via building in public on X, later word of mouth and SEO.

In total I made more than 400 sales (and 30 for the done for you service).

And he eventually sold it “for low 5-figures”

So probably $37K in revenue + $15K sale = $52K total.

UserBooster was the first project Xavier built in a “6 projects in 6 months” challenge.

Love that. Forced him to try ideas and execute fast

How about doing a similar challenge yourself?

The Secret Marketing Tool of a $35K/Month SaaS

Iron BrandsCo-founder of Simple Analytics $35,000 monthly revenue

Simple Analytics is a privacy-focused alternative to Google Analytics that earns $35K per month

One of the founders recently revealed how they get PR at zero cost.

The main way: newsjacking

Whenever there’s a big news story related to their industry, they drop everything to write an insightful article about it, then submit to sites like Reddit and Hackernews.

Several of their newsjacking efforts have taken off, resulting in lots of traffic + backlinks, and ultimately customers + revenue

Here’s the key part…

To be the first, we needed to be on top of the news in our niche. So, Adriaan created a “newsbot” to notify us immediately of interesting and relevant news items…

Here is a link to our code for the newsbot. Feel free to steal it.

2 ideas from that

First: turn that bot into a SaaS, so anyone can sign up, plug in their industry, connect their Telegram (or other chat app) and have news alerts sent to their phone.

Second: offer the bot as a service and set it up for companies for a one-time fee

New Google Docs Feature = $10K/Month Business Potential

Neville Medhora tweets…

Product I wish existed: Google Doc to Website

It would use the new “tabs” feature on Docs to make a full webpage:
– Each tab is a menu item.
– Each page is content area.
– Just update your Doc and site reflects it.

Would be easiest way for average person to maintain a website.

He’s referring to this new tabs feature in Google Docs

Similar to Neville’s idea is Sheet2Site, which turns a Google Sheet into a website.

That was earning $10K per month a few years back

I suspect something like Doc2Site could earn even more than that.
