eBiz Insider Business Ideas Newsletter
Hey, it's Niall 👋
It was my birthday on Sunday, just turned 43.
Which feels kinda old, but I tell myself that's the age Arnold Schwarzenegger was when he made Terminator 2, and he looked great in that movie 😜
Anyway, I'd like to make a small birthday request of you.
Today I'm launching on Product Hunt…
I shared that database with you last week, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive.
It would mean a lot if you could head on over to my Product Hunt page and give the launch a quick upvote, to help get more eyes on it 👀
If you have a little extra time, feel free to drop a comment there as well.
Alright, let's get to a fresh batch of business ideas 👇

AFFILIATE MARKETING
She Earns $1200/Month Working 4 Hours (Or Less) Per Week
🇨🇦 Vancouver-based Jewel Tolentino published this video last June…
Turns out she earned $14,331 in her first year posting review videos on Amazon.
If you watch one of her reviews on Amazon – see them all here – and make a purchase, Jewel earns a commission 🤑
She uploaded 800 videos in her first year, says she spent "at most 4 hours a week" on this side hustle…
99% of the time I'm filming with my cell phone. Most of my videos are less than 1 minute long…
95% of the time I'm not on camera and it's just my voice and my hands doing the product review.
I don't do any fancy editing and I keep it super simple.
Jewel rarely buys the products she reviews, instead reviewing products she already owns, or that she finds at friends' houses or in Airbnbs she stays at 🏡
It's like a fun side project for me that I actually earn income on… this essentially is affiliate marketing at its easiest
She has a playlist on YouTube with lots more tips if you want to try this.

APPS
$40K Per Month Helping People Quit Vaping
Check out Puff Count, an app to help people quit vaping.
YouTube interview with the founder, Steven Cravotta 👇
Looks like he's still in his 20's and he says he's not a coder…
It's a lot easier than a lot of people think to get into [app development] with no-code tools, and with [hired help from] Upwork you can build these apps in less than a month.
Sounds like Steven came up with the idea for his app because he was vaping himself 💨
Then to validate the idea…
I did market research, I looked at Sensor Tower, looked at other quit drinking / quit smoking cigarettes apps… saw that they were crushing it.
I looked at Google Trends, saw that vaping was on the rise…
Probably the most important part… I looked on TikTok and saw that vape videos were going super viral
Check out TikTok's Creative Center to see what's trending there now 📈
Keep an eye out for trends that reveal problems you could solve with a product or service.
NEWSLETTER
Tech + Africa + Newsletter = $100,000+ Per Year
👀 From a recent State of Email Newsletters report…
Tech Safari is a beehiiv newsletter focused solely on the tech world in Africa. [Caleb] Maru and his team have been able to grow to over 15,000 subscribers and six figures in revenue by sharing the latest news, trends, tools, and events in the African tech space.
According to another report, they launched the newsletter ~2.5 years ago 🚀
Sounds like they're mainly monetizing via paid editions…
where we use storytelling just to unpack one company — kind of like a deep dive into a company or an idea and that's been so good.
💰 Also monetizing with…
Sponsors for in-person events
A content agency "which we built from our audience”
Other niche + place + newsletter success stories 👇
Perhaps this formula could work for you, too.

KEYSTONE TOOL
Influencers Are In Trouble Because Of This AI Tool
💬 el.cine tweets an impressive video with the caption…
influencers are in trouble.
HeyGen just dropped UGC AI avatar, you can make them say anything with realistic expression and body movement
no one can tell this is AI now…
With hundreds of realistic, UGC avatars, you can create ads easily and add text, graphics, music, and even edit everything directly
HeyGen has a limited free plan you can play around with 👍
Master this tool (or a competitor) and you can run endless UGC campaigns for clients.
And you'll become the first type of person Marc Andreessen talks about…
There will be two kinds of people in the future: those who tell AI what to do, and those who are told by AI what to do.

Jumped On This Like a Hungry Dog = $1.5K in One Week
📝 A post on Reddit…
The product is Yadaphone, and founder Denis Yurchak explains…
A week ago, I found out that Skype is shutting down, freeing up the niche of online calls to mobile. I was a Skype user myself, and I jumped on the idea like a hungry dog…
I built the product… in two days, launched it on Reddit, and got my first sale in two minutes.
Then, everything just started rushing forward like a wave that carries you with it. The product earned $1,500 in one week
Denis is an experienced software engineer, which explains how he was able to build and launch so fast 🚀
But still a key takeaway here for the rest of us: pay attention to big shifts in enterprise products / markets.
There are often hidden opportunities within them to start a business or otherwise turn a profit 🤑
Reminds me of a tweet from Spencer Haws a few months back, showing how Reddit's stock was up 71% and it wasn't hard to predict.
