PUBLIC DOMAIN PUBLISHING
$175 Monthly Passive Income Selling Old Text on Amazon
Check out this video from Jason Hamiltonā¦
An example of a public domain book he's selling on Amazon: The Faerie Queene Book 1
The original text was published in 1590 š
Jason elaboratesā¦
most of the work that I did for that public domain content I did like 3 years agoā¦ that has continued to make me between $150 and $200 every single month completely passively
The keyā¦
you can't just go copy and paste your copy of Pride and Prejudice or Treasure Islandā¦ and then just publish it and hope that it'll start making sales.
Amazon requires you to do something with it to make it unique and and potentially valuable to a customer
3 ways you can do that š
Create an original translation
Provide original annotations
Add original illustrations
Jason notes that it's easier than ever to do those things nowadays with AI tools š¤

AI-POWERED APP
Their Niche AI App = $1200 Per Month in 9 Weeks
š Felix Heikka posts on Redditā¦
So my brother and I have spent the past 8 months building 3 projects, 2 of which failed, but one of them recently hit 2200+ users and $1200+ MRR in a little over two monthsā¦
itās not crazy money yet, but itās the fact that it shows a lot of potential for growth that makes me so excited for this.
Their product is Buildpad, which is essentially ChatGPT but for founders.
You might think most people would just use ChatGPT instead.
š¬ But consider a recent tweet by Dan Shipperā¦
The biggest opportunity for startups in AI according to Granola founder @cjpedregal?
Build a Ferrari-level experience. Use the most expensive, cutting edge models.
Big companies canāt do this because they have millions of users.
Granola = an AI notepad for meetings that recently raised $20M.
So clearly there's still lots of opportunity out there for niche AI apps.
What niche or audience are you familiar with? š¤
Could you build an AI-powered app that provides them with a Ferrari-level experience?
AMAZON FBA
$12,000 Monthly Profit From His Amazon Store
Luu is based in Houston, Texas and started an Amazon FBA business three years ago while still in medical school.
Nowā¦
with my store, Iām currently doing 150k a month.
Luu is a partner in five other Amazon stores, and says the minimum net profit margin they aim for is 8%.
So his main store should be earning him at least $12K profit per month š°
Luu started with only $800, raised by donating plasma.
He focused on retail arbitrage to start: buying goods in physical stores then reselling them online for a profit š
Later he started doing online arbitrage (buying and reselling online) and wholesale (buying in bulk from wholesale suppliers).
Sounds like Proven Amazon Course (aff link, reviewed here) was a key resource for Luu š

PRODUCTIZED SERVICE
Earning $10K Per Month From His 1-Person Agency
Chris Poka is the founder of Designpulse, a productized design and development service that's pulling in $10,000 per month š¤
Sounds like the key to his success was learning to use Bubble, a no-code development toolā¦
I couldnāt code, and this made building easy. Within six months, I gained enough knowledge to start freelancingā¦
I started a Bubble agency. I got leads through Bubble, so all I had to do was close.
You'll find Designpulse listed on Bubble's agency marketplace.
Along the way, I noticed that most Bubble agencies didnāt pay much attention to UI/UX design, so I started learning UI design and how to use Figmaā¦ Combining Bubble and design was the perfect combo for me.
That got Chris to $3000/month consistently š°
He got to $10K after introducing the productized service approach and working his ass off for several months.
I reckon there's plenty of room for more Bubble developers.
Apparently almost 5 million apps have been built on the platform but there are only 341 agencies in their marketplace š§
DOMAIN FLIPPING
Bought a Domain for $0, Sold it 4 Months Later for $1937
Reza Taheri explains how in this video š
He bought these domains in December 2023ā¦
gegi.co.uk
gegi.uk
Nabbed them both from names.co.uk, where you can get these TLDs free for the first yearā¦
.co.uk
.uk
.org.uk
Reza listed both his domains for sale on dan.com in March 2024.
A month later, he received an offer to buy the first domain.
After commissions, he earned $1452 š¤
(He covers in the video how he could have saved almost $200 in commission fees if he'd made a simple change.)
Reza has since gone on to sell 2 more domain names, bringing his total revenue to $4514 in about 9 months š°
He has some good tips for domain flipping in the second half of his video, ending withā¦
Flipping domains isnāt a get-rich-quick scheme. You need to have patience and consistency.
Sometimes, it may take months before you sell your first domain. However, once you get the hang of it, you can build a nice stream of income.
