Hey, it's Niall 👋
I hear this a lot from people starting a business:
Nobody around me really gets what I’m trying to do…
Friends and family usually mean well — but they’re often wired for safety.
Predictable jobs. Clear paths. Playing it safe.
So when you start talking about launching a product, quitting your job, or doing something unconventional… they get nervous 😬
And that fear? It gets projected onto you.
You start hearing things like…
“Why not wait until things are more stable?”
“Are you sure that’s a good idea?”
“Maybe just do it as a hobby for now…”
It’s easy to internalize that. To feel like you’re being reckless. Or unrealistic.
But more often than not, you’re just early — stepping into a version of yourself others haven’t caught up to yet ✨
So if that’s where you are right now, remember:
You’re not crazy.
You’re not alone.
You’re just choosing a different path — and that takes guts.
Let’s get to a fresh batch of business ideas 👇

CHROME EXTENSIONS
The Perfect Business Opportunity For Vibe Coders
📝 Ian Nuttall tweets a demo of a Chrome extension he built and writes…
chrome extensions are just perfect for vibe coders to use ai to build utility apps (and saas too)
- cursor is very good at building them (gemini & claude)
- super easy to test them locally
- built in distribution via the chrome web store
- so many old manifest 2 extensions you can rebuild
- easy to find contact info to acquire competitors
i built this tool in one shot… thinking it could be part of a much larger helper tool to write posts, find content ideas, run better giveaways, create carousels etc
sometimes vibe coding to scratch your own itch can give you plenty of ideas for your next biz
💬 Rohit Lakhotia chimes in…
Vibe coded a Chrome extension that converts all currency on a webpage to your local currency with real-time forex rate…
All done in less than an hour using Cursor.
TUTORING
Earning $2500 Per Week Via This Online Tutoring Platform
Wyzant is an online marketplace connecting tutors with students
One tutor recently reported earning $2500 per week…
I started on Wyzant exactly 1 year ago. I tutor approximately 10-20 hours per week.
I'm a 4th year medical student… I tutor MCAT test prep…
I charge $185/hr now. I started off at $25/hr and even gave additional discounts for students if they left reviews and rated each session. This helped me build a lot of positive ratings and reviews in the beginning.
💰 Another tutor also frequently earns $2500+ per week…
I’ve been on Wyzant for just over a year.
I teach STEM subjects and standardized exams…
I charge in the $100-160 range and I’m working about 50-55 hours a week. I’ve recently adopted a few group classes which provided a bit of a boost to my earnings.
👉 Full list of subjects you can tutor on Wyzant.
WAKE WINDOWS
$3 Million Potential For This Exploding Idea?
🚀 Eric from Exploding Ideas writes…
Right now, there’s a blazing chance to cash in on the meteoric rise of wake windows, with global search interest hitting 100 on Google Trends in 2025.
A wake window is how long a baby can stay awake before needing sleep. It's a big deal for parents looking to keep their kids rested and happy 👶
Eric has a few ideas for cashing in on this trend, including…
A wake window app with a freemium model—$5/month for premium tracking, 10K users nets $530K yearly profit after $70K costs. Add AI predictions for extra oomph.
A sleep consulting gig in Utah or North Carolina—$150/session, 50 clients/week brings $432K annual profit after $10K marketing. Bundle digital guides for $20 a pop.
A franchise blending app, consulting, and sleep gear sales, targeting hotbeds like Australia and Canada—scale to 5 hubs for $3M revenue in 3–5 years.

FAST GROWTH
Niche European Businesses Earning up to €37M Per Year
The Financial Times recently released their list of the 1000 fastest growing companies in Europe 📈
Glen Allsopp curated the 48 he found most interesting in this free Google Sheet.
I particularly like the businesses that are working well in a specific country, as there's a good chance the same thing could work well in other geos 🌎
Examples…
"Swedish-language broadband comparison website" = €2.5M revenue
"Summer courses for ages 9-24 at prestigious UK colleges" = €13.2M revenue
"Italian booking platform for snow-focused holidays" = €14.1M revenue
"French-language platform for learning new skills e.g. tennis & piano" = €37.3M revenue
SELLING BOOKS
This Simple Kids Book on Amazon Earns $7670 Per Month
Laura shows on YouTube that this book is earning about $7670 revenue / $2390 profit each month…
Now imagine if they had five books like this. Maybe not all of them are going to sell this well but even if he makes $1,000 a month x five books… that's a pretty good side income
She goes on to show how you can easily create this kind of book using Canva AI 🤖
The hard part is the marketing.
Laura recommends 👇
Run a $5 Amazon ad to get your book in front of early buyers. You can also run a competition or something similar within your group of friends…
join parenting or teacher Facebook groups and share a free printable version of one page to build organic traffic. You can also give them a discount if they’re willing to get the entire book — just to boost your early sales as much as possible…
upload some sample pages to Pinterest and let them spread naturally, or even run Pinterest ads. Once your book starts selling, just repeat the process.
