Business Ideas Newsletter
Hey, it's Niall 👋
I spoke with someone recently who was doing all the things to build their business…
✅ Posting videos
✅ Exploring affiliate marketing
✅ Updating their website
✅ Trying out social.
But progress was slow — and motivation was slipping.
The problem wasn’t effort.
It was focus.
If you’re spreading yourself thin across a dozen channels, you’re probably not giving any of them the attention they need to work.
Momentum comes from depth, not just activity.
One platform. One message. One audience.
That’s often enough to move the needle.
Here are 5 business ideas built for traction — not burnout 👇

$1000+ in AI Passive Income Selling Voice Clone
📝 Recently posted on Reddit…
I earned just over $1,000 in 5 months by selling my AI voice on the ElevenLabs Voice Library.
Other people use your AI voice clone in projects like audiobooks, videos, and more.
You get paid passively for every 1,000 characters generated using your voice.
Requires a Creator plan ($22 at 50% off the first month, which can be downgraded to $5 after the clone is uploaded) and 30–180 mins of good-quality audio.
Not a “get rich quick,” but with a decent mic and some time, it’s a legit AI side hustle.
More info in the post, and here's the link to ElevenLabs.
LEAD GENERATION
$8000 Per Month Scraping Data For Recruiters
From an interview with Cas van Oort 👇
Jobleads is a tool that I build to replace a service I offered to companies; I used to setup job scraping bots for companies and decided to change that to a software model.
We currently scrape and enrich job data for: recruitment agencies, jobboards, marketing agencies and software companies.
We then pair these job data with contact data for the hiring manager so you have a daily updating leads list…
The business currently makes $8000 MRR.
Cas' target audience = recruiters.
What other audiences would pay for scraped and enriched data? 🤔
For e-commerce store owners: scrape product listings, pricing, and reviews from competitor sites.
For marketing agencies: scrape local business directories and pair them with social/contact data 👍
For construction firms: scrape government and institutional procurement boards for new tenders.
WEBSITE MONETIZATION
He Earned $22,000 in 27 Minutes
📝 A recent post on Reddit…
In short, he found a "free vector website" for sale on Flippa.
Negotiated the price down to $11K from $12K and bought the site 😎
Immediately sent this email out to the marketing depts of 3 big stock photo sites…
Hey I run this stock image website and we’re getting 350K pageviews per month. I’m looking for an exclusive partner to work with for our ad traffic and I really like the quality of your stock images.
I’m sending this out to 3 companies that I think would be the best partner and I’m asking for what I think is a great deal for you as an advertising partner.
I’m asking a fixed price of $3K per month with a minimum duration of 6 months.
He got one reply right away offering $33K for 12 months as exclusive sponsor 🤑
That was back in 2013, but today he's still making $15K/year from an exclusive sponsor with very little upkeep.
Worth checking Flippa (affiliate link) and other marketplaces every now and then, see if you can find golden opportunities like this 👀
MEME BREAK
Let Me Google That For You…
Now imagine what it would look like if everyone learns how to use AI 🤯
JOB BOARD
His Job Board is Now Earning $5,000 Per Month
From a recent Gaps report 👇
The founder of Real Work From Anywhere, a “fully location independent job board”, revealed the site is now consistently generating more than $5,000 each month…
Interested companies can post a job for $49 with the promise it will be featured on the site’s homepage for 30 days.
We featured founder Nithur Mahendran a few months back, when his job board was only 2 years old…
Apparently it only costs him $6/month to run the site 🤯
How about building a job board for a different niche?
Or focused on a specific geo? 🤔
PARTIAL PROPERTY RENTAL
$1700/Month Monetizing a Small Home (not Airbnb)
📝 Posted on Reddit…
I’ve been making around $1,700/month by renting out parts of my property…
I’m not letting people stay in my house or even come inside. It’s all about using the spaces I already have—like my driveway, garage, backyard, and pool—and turning them into income streams.
🤑 $150-200/month storing stuff…
I cleared out my attic and listed it on Neighbor for storage. People pay me to store their seasonal stuff, boxes, or even furniture.
💰 $400-$600/month renting out the backyard…
I started listing my backyard on Peerspace for small events, photoshoots, and even yoga classes. I charge by the hour
💦 $500-$800/month renting out the pool…
During the summer, I rent out my pool on Swimply. I charge $30/hour
