Hey, it's Niall 👋
Good news: we've launched a database where you can see all the stories we've ever published in this newsletter.
Everything is organized by tag so you can see all the SaaS stories we've ever posted, all the business ideas, all the productized services, etc etc.
If you find the database useful, please consider upvoting it on Product Hunt (we launched today) 🥳
That would be really helpful.

$10M/Year Business: "Anyone Can Do What We Do"
Jonathan Sturgeon is the founder of Dingus and Zazzy, a productized marketing agency.
📝 In a recent interview, he shares…
We're 3.5 years into this model, and we're just about to close in on 8 figures this year. That's right, we're hitting $10 million, baby!
Jonathan started off running Facebook ads for clients.
Then 👇
People started asking me and my small team to do other types of work like design, copywriting, websites... so I was like, "sure! no problem, as long as we aren't wasting time thinking about hours
So clients pay monthly for unlimited service 💰
(Well, kinda. See their pricing packages here.)
Jonathan says there's plenty more opportunity out there for the productized service approach…
Anyone can do what we do. There's nothing proprietary about taking something normal and hourly and making it unlimited.
The real question is, do you have enough tenacity to attempt it and for real with no catch? I think it works because there's no other option, it has to work.
🧐 Finding clients…
All we've ever done is cold calling and cold email. That's it. Cold cold cold. Straight from the freezer.
We got to our first million with just one guy and his assistant dialing one number at a time and manually sending emails.
So nothing fancy.
Just grinding it out one call and one client at a time.
Original business ideas are cool and everything, but it's the boring stuff like this that more often makes millions 🤑
What's another service that is normally charged at an hourly rate?
What if you tried that with a productized approach?

$5000/Month with a Dating App Auto Swiper
Andreas Reinholdt was tired of the endless swiping on dating apps like Tinder and Bumble 🥱
So he built Auto Swiper, a browser extension designed to do the swiping for you.
Looks like he launched it in 2020 and it's currently earning $5100 per month 💰
According to this video (9:10) Andreas opted for a freemium model, starting with 100 swipes per run in the free version and more advanced features unlocked in paid tiers.
He seems to have marketed the tool by posting regular updates on Indie Hackers and Reddit, as well as launching on Product Hunt 🚀
Keep an eye out for tedious or repetitive tasks as you go about your day.
Could you create a product or service to make those easier? 🤔
