One more thing before we get stuck into today's ideas 👇

Alright, let's get into it.

CHROME EXTENSION

Simple Chrome Extension = $150/Day Passive Income

📝 u/hymnzzy posts on Reddit

I created a Chrome Extension for an extremely lacking feature on a certain website. It's a freemium thing. Clocks $150 daily on average…

I didn't advertise anywhere else except making a post on a Reddit sub for unethical tips 🤦🏻‍♂️

It took 6 months before it started getting any traction. Now it's just passive income.

This Jan 2024 comment might be the "advertisement" they alluded to.

The extension, launched in mid-2023 👉 AIS Visa Auto Rescheduler

This extension reschedules US Visa application appointment [on this website] to an earlier date automatically.

Got me thinking: what other big websites are lacking features that a Chrome Extension could fix? 🤔

Probably a lot of government websites.

First two ideas when I asked ChatGPT for suggestions 👇

  • DMV Appointment Notifier: extension would monitor availability and alert you when an earlier date opens up.

  • USCIS Case Tracker: Auto-refreshes case statuses and notifies you when there’s an update.

GRAVE CLEANING

Deadly Side Hustle Can Earn Him $1000+ Per Day

👀 Kimberly Mitchell shares on YouTube…

The four…

  • Cemetery Plot Maintenance & Cleaning

  • Creating Memorial Keepsakes

  • Starting a Support Group YouTube Channel

  • Selling Funeral Stationery & Keepsakes

I really liked the sound of the first one, went searching and found a recent success story in the NY Post 👇

Shaun Tookey, 31, has cleaned more than 300 graves since he began his side business in May 2023.

Families will pay him between $187 and $312 for a deep clean and $437 and $562 for a deep clean, repainted lettering and decorative chippings for headstones belonging to loved ones.

He said it can take him up to two hours and he cleans between two and four graves a day

To get started, Kimberly recommends contacting funeral homes and funeral parlors in your area, build relationships there and see if they'd be willing to connect you with their clients 🤝

LIVE SELLING

She Made $13.7 Million in 7 Days Doing This

A recent podcast and article from Side Hustle Nation…

👀 #5 is live selling services on TikTok…

There was this lady in China that made $13.7 million in just seven days doing live selling on Douyin, China’s version of TikTok.

It’s basically like being a virtual salesperson. Companies send you their products, and you go live, showing them off, one after another…

… you don’t even need a following. The app’s algorithm does it for you. If your selling style clicks with people, the platform will find your audience for you.

For someone who’s comfortable on camera and has decent sales chops, this could be a great opportunity.

SAAS

$10K Per Month From Unbundling ChatGPT

📝 Glen Allsopp writes…

The business is AI2sql by Mustafa Ergisi.

SQL is a coding language for interacting with databases, and it can get quite complex 😱

Glen explains…

[AI2sql] can write queries, explain what it wrote, and also improve existing queries you may already use…

Without knowing anything about the tool, I am going to guess that standard ChatGPT could handle the majority of use cases…

Of course, it doesn’t really matter if ChatGPT can do the same thing as AI2sql – people are clearly happy to pay for specialized solutions 💸

What other functionality can you "unbundle" from an all-purpose AI tool like ChatGPT?

Also, Mustafa recently tweeted

Stop chasing AI hype. Start chasing customer pain. Why some of today's most profitable SaaS companies are 'just' solving fundamental business problems really well. 😉

DIRECTORY WEBSITES

This 2-Year-Old Directory Site Makes $3500 Per Month

💬 From a recent interview with Piotr Kulpinski…

I'm the founder of a directory website called OpenAlternative. It's a community-driven list of open source alternatives to popular, proprietary software…

The site launched in February 2023… [amd] makes around $3-3.5K per month.

💰 Monetization…

  • Advertisements

  • Expedited + featured listings

  • Affiliate links

What other "alternative" directory sites could you build? 🤔

Perhaps a site listing quality alternatives to popular consumer items.

Meanwhile, Katt Risen recently shared 3 profitable internet directory ideas based on keyword research 👇

  • jet ski rental directory

  • dog beach directory

  • pediatric dentist directory
