Hey, it's Niall 👋

A quote from famous Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw…

A man learns to skate by staggering about making a fool of himself; indeed, he progresses in all things by making a fool of himself.

I reckon the same is true in business: you learn by staggering about and making a fool of yourself 🤪

In other words, don't be afraid to try things, to ask stupid questions, to fall on your face a few times.

The more you can do that, the faster you'll progress 💪

Now, let's get to some business ideas.

LINK BUILDING SERVICE

Use These 2 Tools To Build a $10K/Month Business

💬 James Brooks tweets about JournoRobo…

I've released the tool I use to get mentions & backlinks from publications like Business Insider, The Daily Mail, The Times, and Ideal Home 👀

That reminded me of a similar service: PressPulse AI.

I wrote before how the founder earns $8000/month using the tool to get results for clients 🤑

I'm sure lots of people could do similar.

Sign up for both tools and you could become a link building ninja…

  • JournoRobo = $30/month

  • PressPulse = $25-80/month

So about $100/month combined.

Meanwhile, link building services like this one charge clients $3-20K per month 😎

I reckon you could start off charging much less and still build a $10K/month business without too much trouble.

SELLING TEMPLATES

$1000 in 10 Days Despite a Tiny Audience

Firdavs Abdunazarov tweeted back in March 👇

I'm a Framer template creator and I launched my latest template for productized agencies 10 days ago. In this timeframe, I made 21 sales and $1,000 in revenue. 

I have a tiny Twitter/X following and my template became featured in the Framer marketplace only yesterday - 10 days after launch.

He then laid out 7 steps to replicate his success.

💬 A few months later he tweeted…

we are still so early. [Framer is] a growing market and it feels great to ride the wave.

I'm excited to see where we end up in a couple of years.

Similar stories we've covered recently...

So yeah: lots of opportunity in the Framer template market.

You could also apply Firdavs' 7 steps to create and sell other kinds of templates 💪

DIRECTORY WEBSITE | TRENDS

Quick Website Earned Him a Quick $25,000

John Rush shares how he built AllGPTs, a directory site for GPTs…

I was watching the OpenAI demo day… From the moment they said "Custom GPT" I went to GoDaddy and bought the domain. 

It took me 2 hours to build and launch a directory of all the custom GPTs I could find.

Overnight it went viral, becoming the most popular GPT directory.

That was last November 🗓️

John says he made a quick $10K selling ads on the site.

Then the hype died down and he sold it a few months ago for $15,000 💰

He used his own Unicorn Platform to build the site.

How fast he identified the trend and launched the site was key 🚀

Use the following to keep an eye on trends, try find one that would work well for a quick directory site…

FREELANCING | SELLING COURSES

From Freelancer to $275K/Year E-Learning Business

Emily Reagan tells her story here 👈

She started freelancing online many years ago as a way to earn consistent income while moving a lot as a military spouse…

My main services were all marketing-related in content marketing and marketing funnels.

When she had more clients than she could handle…

I started a micro agency and trained 8 women to work with me.

But she still hit a limit with how many clients she could take on 😕

So…

Since I already had the training done and wanted to help more women find flexible work, I offered the training to the public and passed the job leads on to them.

Now her business is mainly training digital marketing assistants and helping them get hired.

Nice progression 📈

And a good reminder that freelancing is an excellent starter business that can lead to big things.

Could you freelance one of those? 🤔

BUILD WITH AI

Earn $500 Per Day Building These Tools With AI

💬 Tim Bennetto tweets…

These 20+ free tools bring 10K visitors/DAY to Pallyy.

Each took 1 day to build.

- use ahrefs to find tools in your niche
- build the most simple version you can
- repeat 20x

Tim built those tools with AI 🤖

However, someone replied to Tim…

Repeated 100 times - no success 😅

That person tried building tools on a new website and struggled to rank.

He probably will get traffic eventually, but it's a long game.

A quicker way to monetize: build such tools for established websites.

Reach out to site owners in a niche you're familiar with, point them to Tim's tweet for proof of concept 👍

Pitch them some ideas for tools you could build.

Benchmark the cost against Google ads = minimum $1.55 CPC.

1000 visitors = $155.

Each of Tim's tools bring in 10,000+ visitors per month on average.

🤑 So $500 per tool would be a fair price to charge, IMO.
