Hey, it's Niall 👋
Just a quick note — after Tuesday’s announcement, most of the consulting spots for April filled up fast, and now there are only 4 spots left.
If you’ve been thinking about it but haven’t booked yet, this is your nudge.
Sometimes a single call can unlock the next step. This might be that call.
No pressure — but if you’re feeling stuck or just want a second brain on something, I’ve got you.
Alright, let's get to a fresh batch of business ideas.

AFFILIATE MARKETING
Copy This Silly Project & Monetize With Affiliate Links
Check out Postal Arbitrage by Riley Walz 👇
A stamp for a letter costs $0.73 in the United States. Amazon Prime sells items for less than that... with free shipping! Why send a postcard when you can send actual stuff?
I found all items under $0.73 with free Prime shipping — screws, cans, pasta, whatever. Add a free gift note. It arrives in 1 or 2 days. Done.
You're not only saving money. It's about sending something real. Your friend gets a random can of tomato sauce with your birthday note attached. They laugh. They remember you. They might even use it!
Then there's a list of products on Amazon, no affiliate links.
Why not build your own version of this site with affiliate links? 😎
Sure, you'll get tiny commissions on such low-priced items, but you also earn commissions on ALL items someone buys within 24 hours of clicking your link.
Once built, the site could run on autopilot 🤖
Over time, develop it into a more comprehensive gift ideas site, like these…

Started Taking Facebook Seriously, Now Earns $12K/Month
👀 Video interview with the Florida woman behind Braids by Antoinette (970K followers)…
Antoniette was a full-time hair braider, working 6-7 days a week and barely seeing her kids 😕
She started taking social media seriously ~2 years ago, posting about hair braiding multiple times a day on Facebook…
posting multiple times a day, I was able to take off… then once I took off I just never stopped… I was gaining 10,000 followers a week
She makes money via in-stream ads on her Facebook videos, plus paid online classes where she teaches hair braiding.
Average earnings = $12K/month 🤑
Copy Antoinette's approach to build up and monetize your own Facebook page.
Or partner with someone who has a skill that looks good on social media – perhaps another hair stylist – and help them grow and monetize 📈

He Earned $23 Per Hour Playing Games on This App
📝 Jay Jenken posts on Reddit…
Works out to about $1310 USD.
He's doing lots of small and simple side hustles, reports his earnings every month.
His best earner for March was Freecash (aff link), a site/app that pays you for testing apps, games and surveys.
Jay earned £392.40 total profit in 20+ hours, which works out to about $23 USD per hour 🤑
He writes…
I did both the puzzles and chaos and the War Path ace commander offers on iOS (iPad)...
For Puzzles and Chaos I spent £120 and gained £208.40 leaving me with £88.40. War Path had an insane offer rewarding me with £672 for getting to 10 million within 30 days (with checkpoints at 1, 2, etc million). I had to spend £368 to get there though so £304 profit.
So he could have kept playing for free and earned less, but chose to spend some money to unlock higher earnings overall.
That can be a slippery slope, so be careful if you try this 👍

IDEA VALIDATION
This Clever Hack Validated His $10M/Year Business
Wesley Tian is the founder of Aragon, an AI headshot generator.
Launched 3 years ago, it's now pulling in $10M per year 💰
How Wesley validated the idea…
With $15k-$20k in savings, I started launching apps full time to see what people wanted. I soon had a site with 12 "apps" with waitlists. People liked the apps where you could change your appearance.
So he didn't actually build out any of those 12 apps initially 🙅
Instead, he set up simple landing pages where people could sign up for a waitlist if they liked the sound of the app.
Few signups = nobody wants this
Many signups = shut up and take my money
Use the same approach to test out your own ideas 😎
You could also try offering this as a productized service: build out landing pages for other people's ideas, drive traffic, collect emails, report back.

Pros and cons of becoming a franchisee in this Reddit thread.
💬 One commenter…
I bought a small franchise and I’m netting roughly $60k a year doing absolutely nothing. Manager does literally everything. It’s nice for some side cash but nothing spectacular. The real money comes from owning multiple franchises.
