Is anyone building this?

A few people replied that they’re building something similar.

Closest is Hero Altman’s Twitterthread, which was earning $2K/month with 70% profit in August – up from $0 MRR in May – and he sold it recently for around $70K

But that app doesn’t seem to be online anymore, buyer might have rolled it into something bigger.

Regardless, as we’ve seen many times in this newsletter, there’s plenty of room for competition in niches like this

Keyword Research Led Him To $3000 in 4 Months

Tony SyrupFounder of FindMicroSaaSIdeas.com $3000 revenue

Tony Syrup posts on Reddit…

How I went from $27 to $3K as a solopreneur still in a 9-5

He did it by building FindMicroSaaSIdeas.com, a site that shows you SEO reports for different niches

Freemium pricing model.

How he came up with the idea…

If I could find a keyword that people were searching for on Google hundreds/thousands of times every month and it was easy to rank high on search engines then I would go all in 

(in SEO land this equates to a Keyword that has a Keyword Difficulty of <= 29 and an Average Search Volume of >= 500).

He found that the keyword “micro saas ideas” was getting ~600 searches each month with low keyword difficulty

So…

I created a database of Micro Saas Ideas with SEO Potential and launched it in June 2024…

I made $700 in the first week of launching.

Solid way to come up with your own business idea: do keyword research until you find a low competition keyword that you can build a freemium product for

He Earns Up To $10K/Month From Several Income Streams

Pete CodesGhostwriter $10,000 monthly revenue

An interview on Indie Hackers…

Pete Codes quit the worst job imaginable to build a business to $10k/mo with zero experience

Initially…

I was really inspired by a post… that said most indie hackers don’t make more than $2k/mo and that you should, therefore, de-risk your founder life with a job or contracting.

So Pete started ghostwriting

5 years later, that’s still his bread and butter…

Founders and brands pay me to provide a social media strategy and write posts for them.

Pete finds a way to monetize pretty much everything he does.

For example

He was growing on twitter > became a social media ghostwriterHe was running a newsletter > launched a course on running newsletterHe started a job board > built and sold a template for a job board

With that in mind, think about the things you’re already doing.

What have you had some success or experience with?

Can you turn that into a product or service?

2 Sports Apps Earning Decent Money Within a Year

Jordan MorganFounder of Elite Hoops $3000 monthly revenue

Two basketball apps…

Utrain helps trainers manage bookings and payments, generated $100K in booking revenue since January.Elite Hoops lets players and coaches share plays and drills, earning $3000 MRR a year after launch.

You could try building a version of either app for another sport.

Utrain co-founder Daniel Ginsberg is a basketball trainer, not a coder.

To build his app, he used no-code tools like Bubble, Zapier and Airtable

But before building anything…

we spoke with basketball trainers to understand their challenges—most struggled with managing schedules, payments, and client communication across multiple platforms.

Talk to enough professionals in different niches and you’ll eventually come up with a solid idea for an app, and find people eager to become your first customers

$1000 Per Week Selling Random Digital Products on Etsy

Debbie GartnerFounder of The Flooring Girl $4000 monthly revenue

A recent interview with Debbie Gartner…

$1000 a Week Selling Digital Products

Debbie is well known as The Flooring Girl, but she’s selling all kinds of digital products…

Flooring-related via her website400+ other products on Etsy

She’s racked up 14K+ sales on Etsy since 2020, but apparently hit $4000/month two years in

Debbie doesn’t consider herself a design pro and she uses AI tools to help create the products.

After a health scare that left her reevaluating her priorities, Debbie decided to focus on things she truly enjoyed. Etsy became her creative outlet, and she started small with health trackers like a $1 blood pressure chart.

“I started very, very simple,” Debbie shared. She started with what she was sure she knew and kept asking questions like, “What do you know? What do you like?”

How about trying this yourself?

Jack FriksFounder of Post Bridge $100 monthly recurring revenue

Jack Friks tweets…

my new tool just hit $100 MRR… in 3 days… wtf

He’s referring to Post Bridge, a social media scheduler

His motivation for building such a tool when there are so many big competitors, like Hootsuite…

hootshit tried to charge me like $100 to connect 2 tiktok accounts…

also… you can learn anything in 2 weeks.

Jack also tweeted recently

1 year ago i didn’t even know how to code

$100/month ain’t much but I wouldn’t be surprised to see Jack’s tool grow into something substantial

Plenty of examples of Davids doing well against Goliaths…

Build a Kick-Ass Agency For This $7M Per Year Platform

John O’Nolan tweets…

We recently passed $7M ARR with Ghost – No growth hacks, no funding, no sales. Just steady iteration and improvement on what we do, over a long period of time.

Ghost is a publishing platform that has become something of a competitor to WordPress.

It’s still quite small – growth chart on this page – but has 2xed in about 3 years, with no signs of slowing down

Got me thinking: you see a lot of WordPress setup agencies and productized services.

But not many for Ghost yet.

Found these guys at the top of Google for “ghost setup service”

They offer setup, custom theme development + premium Ghost themes.

Weak competition beyond that.

Surely room here for a good operator to build a kick-ass agency and dominate the market

Doing This Every Day Led To a Million Dollar Business

Dave KlineFounder of MGMT Accelerator $1 Million estimated annual revenue

Chenell Basilio writes…

How Dave Kline Built a Million Dollar Business With <30k Subscribers

Dave started on Twitter in 2021…

he went from 40 followers to over 60,000 followers in just 8 months.

And he was able to turn his social media following into a million-dollar creator business in less than 3 years.

Dave’s MGMT newsletter now has 35K subscribers and he monetizes with courses, coaching and speaking

Key part of Chenell’s profile…

after writing online every day on Twitter, [Dave] started to see patterns emerge. 

People were much more interested in his content around management and leadership, so he started posting more about those instead of education.

So essentially Dave found his audience and built his business by…

Posting a lot on socialSeeing what resonatedDoubling down on that

Classic quantity leading to quality.

What if you committed to posting on social every day for a few months?

Could lead to your own million dollar business.

$1000/Month From His France-Focused Software

Hugo PosnicFounder of URLR $1000 monthly revenue

Check out URLR.me

It’s a URL shortener, like Bitly.

The founder, Hugo Posnic, is from France and URLR ranks as the #1 url shortener there.

As a result, it’s earning him $1000 per month.

He started it in 2019 as a side hustle…

I have decided to create a side project that could be launched easily and act as a real learning project while being employed for a full-time developer job.

An idea off the back of that

Use this search on CodeCanyon to find top-rated software that’s updated regularly.

Buy that software – you’ll likely need the extended license – and launch it locally in another language, with help from a developer or translator (or AI) as needed.

Some that could work…

QR Code GeneratorCar Park Booking SystemBookings system for cleaning, maids, plumber, etc.

Building $100K Websites From Pinterest Traffic

Mo MullahFounder of Niche Website Management $100,000+ Revenue from content sites

An interview with Mo Mullah

I Create 6-Figure Websites Using FREE Pinterest Traffic

Mo used to rely heavily on SEO to get traffic to his content sites, and even had a few six-figure exits using that model

But he grew wary of constant Google updates and shifted focus to getting traffic from Pinterest.

That’s now his primary traffic source…

[we get] somewhere in the region of 250,000 outbound clicks from Pinterest monthly

Mo monetizes that traffic via a combination of display ads, affiliate marketing and email marketing

He also has an agency where he helps clients get more traffic from Pinterest.

I reckon lots more people could do this: learn how to get traffic from Pinterest, then monetize via clients and/or your own sites

You could start by going through that interview with Mo and taking notes. He shares specific tactics and strategies there.
