Hey, it's Niall 👋
I'm back with my one newsletter this week, since I'm taking a little time off for the holidays.
Same deal next week.
I love the ugly website examples in today's batch of ideas 😍
Let me know if you come across any other sites like that.
Alright, let's dive in.

ChatGPT Business Idea With 2000+ Bookmarks
🤖 Sam Parr uses ChatGPT as an executive coach / thought partner…
- It's spent loads of time asking me questions about myself, my goals, my strengths, weaknesses, business financials.
- I've given it books to read and asked "how would this author approach this problem."
- Even things like "what should the focus be this week to hit my goals"?
😕 But there's a problem…
I just use the same prompt window in ChatGPT.
This is less than ideal because the context window prolly isn't long and its forgetting stuff.
Plus if this prompt thread goes away, hours of training it is now lost.
What's a good way to solve this?
Lots of bookmarks and comments on the tweet.
Seems a lot of people would be interested in a layer on top of ChatGPT that solves this 👍

WEBINARS
Short Form Video = Waste of Time. Do This Instead.
💬 Neil Patel tweets…
You’re wasting your time creating short form videos.
We worked with 41 businesses to track what they spend on content (including employee hours) and what it generates in revenue.
He includes a graph that shows the best kind of content in terms of ROI 👇
Webinars
Blog
Case studies
Email newsletter
Tools
You could build an agency or productized service around any of those.
We covered the last one recently…
But my favorite from the above list is webinars 😍
Seems old-fashioned now but they're still a big thing.
This guy on YouTube has some great content on webinar funnels.
Study up on that, then start helping businesses create awesome webinars 💪
DATABASE WEBSITES
This Ugly Website Makes $46,000/Month
Check out TractorData.com, basically a tractor database website.
According to a recent video by Niche Pursuits, the site gets 1.3 million visitors per month and earns an estimated $46K per month via display ads.
Though the earnings could actually be $100K+ per month.
Another ugly website featured in the same video: DiskPrices.com
106,000 visitors per month there, and estimated earnings of $5000/month via Amazon affiliate links.
Another database website I found recently: IMCDb.org
That's the Internet Movie Cars Database.
600k visits per month, monetized with display ads, probably earning $1000/month or more.
Goes to show that simple and ugly database websites can earn good money.
What else could you make a database website for?
Or how about building a better – ie. not ugly – version of one of the above examples?

PRODUCTIZED SERVICE
They'd Pay $1000/Month For This Productized Service
Olly Meakings is the co-founder of Senja.io, software to help you collect and share customer testimonials 🤩
The business was at $2K/month a couple of years ago. Most recent report has it at $48K/month.
💬 Olly tweets a productized service idea…
Customer knowledge base articles as a service
Pay $50 an article or $1000/month
You track article feedback, product changes, and feature launches
Create + update articles
Your clients get fewer support tickets because their customers can self serve
Sounds like Olly would be happy to pay for such a service for Senja, as would a few people who responded to his tweet 🔥
SAAS
$500/Month Software Business (With Big Potential)
An annual thread on HackerNews…
One response 👇
I have a side business when I provide software for online and in-person festival payments (entry/food/drinks). If you take the total revenue (or profit) for the year and divide by 12 I’m well over the $500/mo limit.
I currently do 3 festivals a year which all pretty much fell in my lap, I’ve yet to start any sort of sales/marketing due to being busy with my day job/life and not wanting to grow too fast…
Each new festival has new needs but I’m starting to get fewer feature requests and less I need to build for each new client which is nice.
Lots more details in the full post + comments.
Pretty sure this is the business: GrubBux
Sounds like there's a lot of potential for software like this, but OP isn't in a position to capitalize.
Could you? 🤔
Or if you're a marketing person, perhaps there's a partnership opportunity there.
