The Hidden Business Opportunity on 600 Million iPhones
Justin Brooke tweets a business idea…
Apple sells roughly 200 million iPhone units per year.
The shortcuts app runs on models made after 2021…
This means > 600 million iPhones have the shortcuts app.
And I can’t find a single YouTube channel that solely focuses on Shortcut recipes…
Yes, there are plenty of tech review channels with “how to use shortcuts app” or “10 shortcut recipes I use.”
But I’ve yet to find a channel that focuses specifically on going deep on shortcuts.
And it’s actually a very impressive app..
For example, you can set it to search for a keyword or phrase in a text message and then trigger it to ask a question in ChatGPT.
This seems like a massively missed opportunity, and super easy to make YouTube shorts and TikToks around.
A commenter points out that r/Shortcuts has ~370,000 members to which Justin replies…
Confirmation that the market wants more info.
Might sound strange to build a business around a single app, but we’ve seen plenty of examples of people doing it successfully 
For example…
6 Figures In 1 Day Teaching Excel$200K in 3 Years Helping People With Notion$6500/Month Helping People Use ZapierIf Shortcuts isn’t your thing, perhaps there’s another app you like that you could build a business around.
Another idea here: what popular Subreddits don’t have an equivalent channel on YouTube? 
As Justin pointed out, a popular Subreddit is often an indication that there’s lots of interest in a topic.

$1.2 Million From a Couple of Side Projects
Stuart HallFounder of Appbot $1.2 million revenue Published July 29, 2024 by Fardeen KhanReviewed and edited by Niall Doherty 
A recent post on Reddit…
It’s a post by Stuart Hall, founder of Appbot, who credits just two mobile apps for most of his success…
7 Minute WorkoutWordBoardHe shares a revenue graph in the Reddit post, showing he started in 2013.
$1.2 million over 11 years = a little over $100K/year.
Pretty damn good for a couple of “side projects” 
Stuart writes…
7 Minute Workout was born because I wanted to run an experiment. Could I build an app, iterate, and build a story around it? It ended up getting millions of downloads, got acquired, given back to me and generated some content that was read by hundreds of thousands of people and helped propel Appbot in the early days.
I created WordBoard to scratch an itch. Apple had just announced custom keyboards for iOS and I was frustrated that I couldn’t easily re-use phrases and text. WordBoard has been a long slow burn, but has actually ended up being more successful than 7 Minute Workout.
His criteria for choosing the right side project to work on…
1. Is this something I’m actually interested enough in to keep at it for years?
2. Is anyone else likely to want this app?
3. Can I make version 1 in a reasonable time frame?
4. Can it exist for months on end without any intervention from me?
5. Is there a popular trend or technology to leverage at launch?
#1 is probably the most important, and Stuart elaborates…
Success can take time and iterations. One of the advantages of a side project is there is less pressure to make it fly on a time frame (without it having to support you financially) compared to a startup or day job.
Do you have some ideas for side projects?
Do any of them meet Stuart’s criteria above? 
Doesn’t have to be an app. Could be a service, a website, a YouTube channel, whatever.

$500/Day Windshield Repair Business
This_Secretary2778Windshield Repair Expert $500 daily revenue Published July 25, 2024 by Nathaniel LewisReviewed and edited by Niall Doherty Someone on Reddit recently shared how he turned a windshield repair skill into a thriving side hustle…
I took a course two years ago and learned how to repair chipped/cracked windshields.
After MONTHS of trial and error, I was able to build a killer side hustle out of it…
In the beginning I was making around $150/day and then it quickly got busy to where I was making $500+ /day…
I made $50-$80/hr, and I got to work on my own schedule. If I didn’t want to work one day, I would just shut off my lead gen.
It was the cheapest business I have ever heard of getting into. I think my initial equipment cost ~$450.
Customers would visit his website, input their address and phone number, and he would drive out to fix their windshields 
The actual repair took only 15 minutes, and the demand was high, with apparently 35% of cars on the road in the US having windshield damage.
His marketing strategy relied on…
– Automating my advertising and lead generation strategy for less than $30/day in ad spend…
– Partnering with insurance companies (70% of my revenue was from insurance companies – most plans in the US cover rock-chip damage…
– Partnering with car washes and car dealerships
It was a nice blue-collar side hustle, but…
I want to move to Florida soon to pursue a joint-venture with my cousin. So I recently sold my business.
Sounds like that joint-venture might be an online course teaching other people how to do windshield repair.
He says in the comments…
The training isn’t ready yet. I need to meet with a dozen or more people to validate what I’m building before I launch. Happy to chat with anyone on this thread. But price? Not sure yet. I paid $1,200 for the technical training (100% online) two years ago.
I could see that training doing very well if it’s priced at $500 or so, would save people a lot of time and money.
And it’s an interesting blueprint to consider for building an online business
Alternatively, you could partner with someone who has already mastered some blue-collar side hustle, help them create an online training for it.

His AI Coloring Page Software: $2000/Month in 213 Days
Ben RobertsonFounder of ColorBliss $2000 monthly revenue Published July 25, 2024 by Fardeen KhanReviewed and edited by Niall Doherty Ben Robertson tweets…
Back in September, I quit my job.
I launched ColorBliss in October.
It was 93 days until I hit $100 MRR.
It took 94 more days to grow to $1k MRR.
And now, just 26 days later, I made it to $2k!
ColorBliss is an AI-powered app that creates printable line drawings that you can color in 
Like pages from a coloring book, except you can create them on the fly.
Regarding the big recent jump in revenue, Ben explained…
Between $1k and $2k I added new features and new pricing!
Also…
I focused on SEO before I even built the first version of the product, and most sales have come from organic search
i’ve dabbled in some paid acquisition
and recently email marketing has been quite effective!
Sure, you could probably just use ChatGPT to create coloring pages similar to ColorBliss.
But clearly Ben’s specialized app produces superior results and people are happy to pay for it 
So much so that Ben recently tweeted…
I…might actually be able to support my family by selling coloring page software…which is amazing
what a time to be alive!
Indeed.

$38K Per Year From a No-Code Newsletter (8800 Subs)
Katt RisenFounder of No-Code Exits $38,000 annual revenue Published July 25, 2024 by Nathaniel LewisReviewed and edited by Niall Doherty Katt Risen from Belgium 
turned her love for no-code startups into a profitable newsletter, No-Code Exits, earning $38,000 annually with less than 9000 subscribers.
According to a recent interview, Katt was bitten by the business bug early…
My dad is an entrepreneur so while growing up I spent a lot of my weekends and holidays working at his company…
My brothers and I inherited some of his entrepreneurial spirit. While growing up we were always busy with silly side hustles.
Eventually Katt discovered no-code tools and started building small projects…
It all changed in 2021 when I was browsing Product Hunt and discovered Softr and the ‘No-Code’ movement. With these drag-and-drop tools, I could suddenly tinker on my ideas… I was so thrilled…
Eventually, this led to me quitting my job in 2023 to go all in on No-Code.
Her first big win happened in 2022, when her tool advisor chatbot – No-Code Guru – got acquired 
Katt tweeted about the acquisition and…
the tweet BLEW UP: lots of comments, likes and DM’s with questions. On a whim, I decided it might make an interesting newsletter topic…
In 30 minutes No-Code Exits was born. I tweeted about it and 24 hours later I woke up to 500 subscribers. Idea validated. I published my own story about the acquisition of No-Code Guru and that is how it all started.
Now, with over 55 editions published, Katt monetizes her newsletter through sponsorships and her own products
Katt’s idea for the newsletter came from her own tweet blowing up.
Which has me thinking: you could probably get a bunch of newsletter ideas by keeping an eye on popular tweets 
Maybe even team up with the person who wrote the tweet to create and promote the newsletter.

Her Telegram Channels Earn $5,000 Per Month
MariaData Analyst $5000 monthly revenue Published July 25, 2024 by Fardeen KhanReviewed and edited by Niall Doherty Maria writes on Indie Hackers…
I created my first Telegram channel in 2022 while working as a data analyst. The main goal was to share useful resources and my experiences. But after a few months, it became an additional source of income.
I have several Telegram channels, in Russian and English.
I earn about $5,000 a month from them…
Additionally, my Telegram channels are great platforms for promoting my own projects.
How it started…
I created my first Telegram channel in June 2022. Within a few months, with just over 1,000 subscribers, I started earning money and selling ads because advertisers began reaching out to me.
This channel is in a pretty narrow niche: a Telegram channel for beginner data analysts. In my posts, I share useful content that helps subscribers learn for free, practice skills, find internships and jobs worldwide, and much more.
Now…
The channel has over 15,000 subscribers, and last month I earned about $3,000 from this channel alone.
To monetize this channel, I use sponsored ads. Each ad now costs $250, and I post about 10-12 ads per month, gradually increasing the price.
You can check out the channel here.
It’s all in Russian 
but you can still clearly see the ad spots.
Maria adds…
Clients mostly found my channel and reached out to me, but I also used newsletters and ad exchanges like on Telega Exchange and others to attract clients.
Telega.io is a platform that apparently has “over 70,000 advertisers [that] are ready to pay for your Telegram audience”
But ads aren’t the only way Maria is monetizing…
I earned about $2,000 from NEW channels last month.
I monetize my new channels mainly by selling my own products.
– It’s an excellent way to earn money for experts in various fields (lawyers, fitness trainers, psychologists, etc.). An expert runs their channel, attracts targeted subscribers, and sells their services or consultations.
– You can also sell any of your own products—SaaS, physical products.
Would a Telegram channel work well for your niche?
For inspiration, here’s a list of top Telegram channels, which you can filter by language.

Quick & Easy Way To Find Service Business Ideas
Charles Floate tweets…
Know SEO? Want to set up a niche agency or service?
> Ahrefs KW Explorer
> “SEO Services For”
> Max KD: 10
Pick a niche; you only need 50+ searches a month to get a handful of leads that can turn into a stream of consistent client work!
Niching down is significantly easier, because you only need to learn about one industry, target one audience and become an influencer in one niche.
That’s a nice framework to validate service business ideas
If you don’t have an Ahrefs subscription, use a keyword tool that offers a free trial. I use SERanking (aff link) which offers a 14-day free trial.
Find a juicy keyword, then build a simple website that describes the service you offer and invites people to book a consultation.
You’d need to optimize the site of course so you can rank #1 in Google ahead of competitors 
But that shouldn’t be too hard in a small niche.
Apart from SEO, you could do this for other services like
Godfather Offer: Zero to $93K/Month in 15 Months
Ayman ArabFounder of TikScale $93,500 monthly revenue Published July 22, 2024 by Fardeen KhanReviewed and edited by Niall Doherty Ayman Arab is the founder of TikScale…
We come up with video ideas, script them, guide you through the entire recording process, and edit them. A couple of hours of recording per month creates a flywheel of video content that gets distributed across all major platforms.
In a recent video, Ayman shares how he went from $2K/month to $93.5K/month in 14 months with his agency business …
A big part of that success is the guarantee, which you can see in the website tagline…
We Will Build You A YouTube Sales Funnel That Adds 10-30 Qualified Calls Every Month (Or You Don’t Pay)
I’ve heard this kind of thing referred to as a Godfather Offer, based on the famous line from the movie…
I’m going to make him an offer he can’t refuse.
Ayman says in the video…
A lot of you guys are too scared to put guarantees, but this is what’s going to take you to the next level.
If I have to refund you, screw it, I’ll refund you and I’ll just make it back. And I’m going to improve on my service.
Another benefit of such a bold guarantee…
This also puts a fire under your ass where you’re like, “okay, I have to fulfill,” and it naturally just makes your service better.
How Ayman got started…
Originally I started with short-form content, but everyone was offering basic short-form content. Like they didn’t have an offer, they didn’t have an end result they wanted to give…
When I started out, I didn’t really know what end result I could promise.
I didn’t know how many views I could promise… I didn’t know anything. I was a noob.
This [TikScale] is my third time starting an agency.
I didn’t know what I was doing, so I was like… I’m going to make a crazy offer where I’m actually just giving the deliverable, but I’m going to put a cool spin on it.
So I was like, I’m going to make you 60 shorts in, 2 hours of your time per month.
How I did this was, we’d hop on two Zoom calls per month for 1 hour long each, and then I would ask them questions, they would answer, I would clip it up, turn it into 60 shorts a month, and this offer was so simple but it was so freaking fire.
Then he started cold emailing potential clients, which got him to $15K/month in 4 months
Soon after Ayman hired an editor to help him…
I realized that my client who was getting the best results was the only one doing YouTube with us, so a light bulb went off and I pivoted towards primarily focusing on YouTube.
Because the problem with doing short-form content was like, in our prime, we were doing 360 shorts a month, so it was like 10-12 a day, and it was a lot, and I was quality checking all of that.
And I’m doing 360 shorts, and I’m getting paid $15K.
So then I was like, okay, this guy, he’s getting quantifiable results, we’re making him money, he went from $30K a month to $75K a month.
I was like, screw it, let’s double down on this YouTube stuff.
Now, he’s also growing his own social channels via video content which helps him get more clients…
YouTube (2.9K Subs)Instagram (19.9K Followers)Twitter (7.7K Followers)With all that in mind, think about a Godfather Offer you could use to boost your business
Not only will it help you stand out and get noticed, but it will also force you to up your game and deliver.

His Mini Apps Earn $21K/Month From 300 Customers
Sorin AlupoaieFounder of Swifteq $21,700 monthly revenue Published July 22, 2024 by Fardeen KhanReviewed and edited by Niall Doherty Sorin Alupoaie from Ireland 
is the founder of Swifteq where they create “Zendesk Apps to help Support teams”
(Zendesk is a popular customer support software with 100,000+ customers.)
In a recent post, Sorin writes…
This month, I hit an important milestone — over €20,000 [$21.7K] in monthly recurring revenue (MRR) and over 300 customers with Swifteq…
Swifteq is completely bootstrapped (no outside investors), solely founded and profitable, which is a great feeling.
Here’s their entire suite of 11 apps listed on Zendesk Marketplace.
What worked for Sorin…
Built useful tools: I’ve focused on creating apps that make a real difference in my customers’ day-to-day work. All my recent apps have paying customers, and some are driving a lot of our recent growth.
Automated routine tasks: I’ve freed up my time by automating parts of the trial and customer lifecycle processes that used to take up too much of my day…
Started taking marketing seriously: I’m still new to this, but I’ve made good progress recently.
Looking at Zendesk Marketplace, there’s 3 ways you can work with them
For app ideas, you could look through the marketplace and find poorly rated apps. If lots of people are complaining about one, there may be an opportunity to build a better alternative.
You could take the same approach with themes
And the consulting side of things can also be a big business, as we’ve seen from this Asana and Pipedrive consultant…
$1M/Year Teaching People How To Use Software Last words from Sorin…
Building great products for my customers is still my priority, but I’ve learned that it takes more than that. You need to build a business around your products, and that means marketing, sales, support, and everything else.

How Trump Is Making People Money Online ($3681 from 1 Sticker)
ToucanSVGEtsy Seller $3681 estimated revenue from 1 SVG Published July 22, 2024 by Niall Doherty An article from The Verge…
An excerpt…
Within hours of a shooter attempting to assassinate Donald Trump at a rally on Saturday, countless products emblazoned with an image of Trump, bloodied and fist raised, were for sale on e-commerce platforms.
For example, listed as bestsellers on Amazon are this $12 mug and this $16 t-shirt 
Lots of similar products on Etsy, including a bunch of digital downloads.
This $7.50 digital download is listed as “popular now” and I wouldn’t be surprised if it has sold 100s of units already
I also found this $11.49 gag gift on Etsy. It’s basically a fake donation receipt to the Biden-Harris campaign that people can send to Trump supporters.
Etsy Hunt estimates that 867 sales of that product = $9,961 revenue 
Perhaps more impressive is this Trump Merica Svg.
Priced at $2.66, Etsy Hunt estimates 1384 sales = $3,681 revenue
And that’s a digital download, basically just an image, no shipping costs. People buy the image to put it on t-shirts, stickers, etc.
Back to that Verge article…
Any enterprising sellers with two free minutes and a Redbubble account can get in on the action — and so far, platforms seem willing to accommodate the merch. And if there’s money to be made, you can bet someone out there will try to make it.
Btw, I posted this on X a couple of days ago with some other examples
And now that Biden has dropped out of the race, I guess there will be a market for merch related to whoever replaces him.
