eBiz Insider Business Ideas Newsletter
Hey, it's Niall 👋
Saw this tweet the other day…
honestly..
99% of people outside of the twitter/x are extremely uncreative with ai
"write me a paper"
"summarize my notes"
"write an email"
show them even 10% of what an llm can do and their minds are blown
Very true, and a good reminder that becoming even a little skilled with AI puts you ahead of 99% of people 😎
Both have free plans 🥳
Play around with them, watch some free tutorials on YouTube, try to build something.
A little experience here can go a long way 💪
Also, keep in mind these words from venture capitalist Marc Andreessen, who says in the future there will be two types of people…
people who tell computers what to do, and people who are told by computers what to do.
Best be the former.
Alright, let's get to some business ideas.

JOB BOARDS
His 2 Job Boards Earned $5000 Combined in November
Nithur Mahendran's two job boards 👇
realworkfromanywhere.com (2 years old)
moaijobs.com (10 months old)
📝 Nithur writes…
Job boards are little bit tricky but not impossible to pull off. The most obvious bet you have to invest in if you want to build a job board is SEO…
People think building a job board is hard because no one wants to pay to promote their job ads anymore. That's not true. People still willing to pay if you have good enough traffic…
You don't need any capital to start a job board if you know some SEO and programming (Don't worry if you don't know how to program, Claude can help you. 😉)
We previously featured Nithur back in May…
Another niche job board story…
How about building a job board for a different niche?
Or focused on a specific geo? 🤔
LEAD GENERATION | SPONSORED
Running a Lead Gen Agency From an RV
Today's email is brought to you by Local Marketing Vault.
That's our top-rated lead generation training 🤩
One reviewer writes…
I took December 2018 to watch the videos and started actively prospecting for clients in January 2019…
I have been earning a full-time income since May 2019 and have been building my business ever since. I live and run my agency full-time in my RV, traveling across the U.S. That would not be possible without Local Marketing Vault, Jason & James, and the incredible community they built.

SELLING EMOJIS
He Earned $105,550 Last Month Selling Emojis Online
💬 Alexandru Turcanu tweets…
I made $105,550 in November 2024 by selling emojis online:
◆ $99.4k from App Store after fees
◆ $6.1k from Stripe web purchases
Check out his site and iPhone app 👈
App description…
Craft personalized emojis using the brilliance of AI with a simple prompt.
So you can type "happy green dino wearing a santa hat" and get back an AI-generated emoji that you can instantly message to friends 🤯
There's a free version of the app.
Premium version costs $2.95/m or $9.95/y.
Alex launched it about a year ago as a side project 🚀
He basically took something people already liked using (emojis) and added AI to the mix so it's more customized / unique.
What else could you do this for? 🤔
Perhaps…
Personalized stickers or decals
Custom animated GIFs
Customized memes
Personalized phone wallpapers
PAID COMMUNITY
He's Earning $397K Per Month in This Boring Niche
Check out this paid community on Skool: Predictable Premium 100%
As of this writing, it has 399 members paying $997/month = $397,803 per month 💰
Alberto Riehl is the guy behind the community and he did an hour-long interview on YouTube back in May…
Alberto has a ton of experience in the insurance industry, having been an employee at various levels and also starting his own agency.
His paid community helps insurance agents increase their revenue 📈
If you have lots of experience in an industry, how about starting your own paid community?

MEME BREAK
Things Are Getting Pretty Serious
SAAS | BUY THEN BUILD
$35,000 Profit in 2 Years From a Couple of Side Projects
From a recent interview with Deepak Mehta 👇
In 2022, i started by acquiring two microsaas projects actions.so and chartmat.com which I sold in 2023 and early 2024 respectively.
Both of them were sold for 5 figures…
Actions.so wasn't monetized when he acquired it, got it to $500 MRR pretty quick, sold within 6 months for 3x the original purchase price 🤑
Chartmat was making $300 when acquired, Deepak got it to $30K ARR before selling for "almost 2x" what he paid.
If we assume Deepak bought each product for $5000, he likely earned approx $45,000 via revenue + the eventual sales = $35K profit 💰
A nice ROI for a couple of side projects.
(Deepak works full time as PM for a large bank.)
This part is key…
It took me 1-2 months of research and patience before i found what products i want to buy. I was mainly looking to aquire as i didn't wanted to spend time building MVP and quickly test the market.
Unclear where Deepak sourced his projects, but he sold them both via Acquire.com, so you could try looking for similar opportunities there yourself 👀
Buy, improve + grow profit, then flip.
PRODUCTIZED SERVICE | SEO
Turn This SEO Framework Into a Productized Service
💬 Tameem Rahman (aka the SaaStronaut) tweets…
SaaS SEO will only require 5 types of content that you can complete in < 100 days in 2025.
I call it the "F.A.C.T.S." framework… a survival guide for SEO content that actually drive LEADS and REVENUE for SaaS companies.
He goes on to break down the 5 parts 👇
Feature Pages
Alternatives
Comparison Pages
Tutorials / How-To Guides
Specific Use-Case Listicles
Strikes me that you could offer this as a productized service, actually go and create these pages for SaaS companies.
How would you find SaaS companies willing to pay for this? 🤔
Google startups that have recently received funding and you'll find several lists.
You might need to start with a smaller startup at a discounted rate, prove you can deliver results and build a nice cast study, leverage that to land bigger clients 🤑
