eBiz Insider Business Ideas Newsletter
Hey, it's Niall 👋
I've got another batch of juicy business ideas for you below 🥳
But first, words from Greg McKeown's book, Essentialism…
If we search for “a good opportunity,” then we will find scores of pages for us to think about and work through.
Instead, we can conduct an advanced search and ask three questions: “What do I feel deeply inspired by?” and “What am I particularly talented at?” and “What meets a significant need in the world?”
Those questions are a good filter to run each idea through, help you figure out which to pursue 🧐
Alright, let's get to it.

NICHE WEBSITES
10-Month-Old Calculator Website Already Earning $7.5K/Year
MyPayCalculator.co.uk is a simple website to help people in the UK 🇬🇧 calculate their take home pay.
The domain was registered in Dec 2023 and it only has 22 pages indexed on Google.
But the site is already getting an estimated 150k visitors per month.
It's monetized with display ads, and the Google Adsense calculator pegs its earnings at $7500 per year 🤑
Very impressive for such a new, small, niche website.
And I expect it will keep growing steadily 📈
The idea: build a site like this for another country.
There could actually be one for every country, but of course the earning potential would be higher with big populations.
Even if you're not familiar with tax laws or coding, you could build this pretty quick with AI 🤖
For inspiration, see some of the cool things people are building with AI in this X thread.

The Amazon Profits Formula For 2025
Today's email is brought to you by The Wholesale Formula.
That's a highly-rated Amazon training that's opening its doors again this month. The course creators have apparently done more than $36 million in sales via Amazon 🤑
They're running a free webinar today, Oct 8th…
on this webinar, you're going to discover a 3-step formula that helped 960 folks initially sell over $1,057,143,592 on Amazon. Yes, over a billion dollars!1
Even better: those 960 successes had no real "pattern." Their ages, locations and experience levels varied. Most had no previous online successes. Many started part-time. And all did it risk-free.
When you join this webinar, led by one of the top online business trainers in the world, you’ll discover the exact formula to sell on Amazon and see success.
MICROTASKS
He Got Paid $20+ Per Hour On This Microtasks Platform
From a YouTuber named TEZR…
He shows that he clocked 38 hours on Appen in a recent 3 month period and earned $1,056.96 💰
That works out to $27/hour.
But he also says that some of his hours weren't tracked, so let's be conservative and peg his earnings at $22/hour.
Microtasks he mentions doing: transcribing, testing products, reviewing data.
You can see other tasks and apply here 👈
Note that tasks are often unavailable; 22 hours was the most TEZR was able to do in one month.
He appears to be based in the UK but Appen says they "pay contributors from over 200 countries," so most people could give this a try 🌎
SAAS
Hobby Sports Score Tracker = 18 Potential SaaS Products
Live Tourney is an app that lets golf courses ⛳️ organize tournaments and track scores.
We featured it in the newsletter earlier this year…
Pat Walls tweets…
I bet you could build an app just like this for ANY hobby sport.
Then he asked ChatGPT…
give me a list of hobby sports that might need an app to track scores
I did the same and got back 18 suggestions, see them all here 👍
Starting with…
1. Pickleball – Growing rapidly in popularity, score tracking and match history would be helpful.
2. Table Tennis (Ping Pong) – An app could track scores, match history, and player stats.
3. Disc Golf – Apps can be used for tracking scorecards, course maps, and progress over time.

DESIGN CONTESTS
UK Designer Has Earned $2.57M Via This Contest Site
DesignCrowd is a marketplace for design services.
Clients describe what they want and freelancers submit their designs. The client then picks their favorite and the winning freelancer gets paid 😎
Some freelancers have earned big money on DesignCrowd over the years.
Top of the leaderboard 👇
pb from the UK – $2.57M
Sbss from India – $573K
GLDesigns from USA – $431K
ArtTank from Philippines – $375K
Kreative Fingers from India – $329K
Sounds great.
However, I looked at 1110 recently completed design contests posted on this page.
The average prize money for a contest was $187.
And there was a lot of competition for each contest: an average of 62 designers submitting 2.5 designs apiece 😕
That said, if you're confident in your skills and can pump out designs quickly, you might be able to earn a lot of money on DesignCrowd.
If nothing else, it can help you build up a portfolio 💪

Copy Her Business: Earning $1 Million in Only 4 Months
🎃 Chris Koerner tweets…
This Dallas mom grosses $1m/year in 4 months of work.
What does she do? Decorate porches with pumpkins in Dallas and Houston.
Chris breaks down the business 👇
Orders open in July and she sells out in August.
Last year she did 900 jobs for $300 - $2,000+ each. She also charges extra for removal.
She has 15 drivers, 10 delivery guys and a warehouse staff.
She’s been in business for 4 years.
Sounds like a lot of overhead but she's likely still taking home $100K+ per year for 4 months of work 😎
And the fact that she sells out so fast means there's mucho demand for the service.
Could you give it a try where you live? 🤔
Check the 32:30 mark of this podcast for a smart way to test the idea.
