Google Trends For X
Jason Levin tweets…
I’m building Google Trends for memes.
Let me explain: The Olympics was meme after viral meme.
My favorite was this guy, the US gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik.
He was sleeping during other people’s events and then woke up for his event like a baller and won the gold medal.
That meme went viral (17M+ views) and it inspired Jason to start a newsletter 
to help marketers capitalize on this kind of thing in future…
No marketer wants to miss a big trending moment, so every 24 hours I send an email with the newest viral meme templates.
He’s monetizing via a premium upgrade + selling a course 
With that in mind, how about building an alert engine for your niche or industry?
Keep track of the latest trends and share them via a website, newsletter or social.
Charge Clients $700/Month For This Productized Service
Robin Vander Heyden, who has lots of experience with productized services, tweets an idea…
LinkedIn content design agency for SaaS.
→ LinkedIn content design (copywriting + design) as a subscription
→ LinkedIn carousels and images (Tutorials, Feature announcements, Tips & Best practices, Case studies, Company updates, …)
This is a great service to offer on a subscription as companies likely have ongoing needs.
Sell this to CMOs or Head of Marketing to various profitable or VC-funded SaaS companies.
Per client, he reckons you could charge…
around $700-800/mo or $2k/quarter.
Can probably be much higher later but get your first clients and produce case studies first.
You could use tools like Claude and AICarousels to get first drafts 
Robin’s offer…
If you want to build this, DM and I’ll give you access to ManyRequests for a few months to build it out till you get your first customers.
These AI-Generated Models Earned $12,402 in 30 Days
u/heyosleaEntrepreneur $12,402 revenue in 1 month Published August 29, 2024 by Niall Doherty 
This Reddit post got deleted…
But I posted the original text on X 
Basically that person created two AI influencers / models and is monetizing them via Patreon and Fanvue (an OnlyFans alternative).
Instagram accounts of the influencers (kinda nsfw) 
Turns out it’s fairly easy to create AI influencers, as Sarah Chrisp reveals in this video…
I Tried The Ai Influencer Side Hustle & Made $_,____Spoiler: she made $0, mainly because she wasn’t willing to sell nudes of her AI influencer, which seems to be the main way to monetize 
But hey, if you’re okay with that, you could give this a try yourself.

X Data for Y Audience = $500,000 Per Year
Alex WestFounder of CyberLeads $500,000 annual revenue Published August 26, 2024 by Nathaniel LewisReviewed and edited by Niall Doherty Alex West, founder of CyberLeads, started with a simple idea: a spreadsheet listing contact info for companies that just raised funding, aimed at agencies looking for new clients.
Early on, the business was earning Alex $7,000 a month.
Now, 2.5 years later, CyberLeads pulls in $500,000 a year
Apparently social media helped Alex get traction, with this random tweet going viral and landing him another 10 paying customers early on…
Got my first $50/mo customer!
Anyway, I love how Alex’s product is basically just X data for Y audience.
Think about the audience you’d like to serve. What data would be valuable to them?
Or start with valuable data you have access to or can collect.
What audiences would find that valuable?

Boring Concrete Businesses Are Killing It
Check out this Reddit thread
The top comment…
I knew a guy who… bought a very highly specialized machine that cut perfect holes of all sizes in concrete for all sorts of situations… they did extremely well indeed.
Someone replies…
I know a guy with a very similar business who makes good money doing even less work… He takes X-rays of concrete… bought a specialized machine that scans / xrays the concrete and shows if there are any cables, pipes, etc…
In many jurisdictions or building regulations it is a requirement to scan before the core drilling so his business is always in demand.
Chris Koerner chimes in on X…
The higher the percentage of people that never knew this business existed = the higher probability that this business needs more competitors.
Lots more examples of such businesses in the Reddit thread to spark your own ideas 
This Simple Framework Earned Him $4609 in 1 Month
Fayaz AhmedFounder of Supersaas $4609 revenue in 1 month Published August 26, 2024 by Fardeen KhanReviewed and edited by Niall Doherty Fayaz Ahmed from India 
created Supersaas.
It’s a coding template that comes with lots of pre-configured goodness to help developers build faster.
Apparently it earned him $4,609 in just one month
Fayaz shares how he came up with the idea…
1. Found out people were buying a X thing meant for Y
2. Realised an alternative of Y didn’t have an X of its own.
3. Built it, made it real good, and people just started buying it.
Perhaps Fayaz was inspired by Sergey K, who earned $20K in 3 months doing essentially the same thing but using another coding language.
This also reminds me of Closet Tools, an analytics tool for Poshmark that earns $35K a month.
There were already analytics tools for big marketplace sites like Amazon – and they were earning lotsa – but none for Poshmark until Closet Tools came along.

Making it Rain with $59 Ad Templates
Ismael Diaby tweets about Kandy For Scale…
They have aggregated static Ad templates
that you can plug and play with in Canva Or Figma
And people love it
They sell the whole thing for $59
Have thousands of comments under their ads.
Ismael’s idea based on that…
– Collect the best performing FB ads
– Sort per category (e-com ads, fitness ads)
– Make them editable somehow
– Sell lifetime access
– Run ads to the funnel
Looks like Kandy also offers services as an upsell on product purchases, likely making lots more $$$ there 
He Earned $7000 Passive Income via This Platform
Danny RusteenInvestor $7000 profit Published August 22, 2024 by Nathaniel LewisReviewed and edited by Niall Doherty In a recent video (3:32 mark), Danny Rusteen shares his experience with a site called Kickfurther…
I put in $20,000 almost three years ago and I have a balance of $27,000 today. That’s a return of 11.67% per year.
How Kickfurther works
Let’s say I have a great product idea but no money to make it.
You could help me out via Kickfurther by buying a number of units before they’re made.
I then use that money to make the product and sell it.
Once I sell the units you paid for, you get a return
Kickfurther has a 4.0 rating from 250+ reviews on Trustpilot.
Some investors like Danny report solid returns.
Others, not so much…
I started investing with KF in 2019. I’ve had a net loss over that time period because deals keep going south and KF doesn’t do anything to enforce payment.
Still, it’s worth considering as an alternative investment opportunity
