eBiz Insider
Business Ideas Newsletter



Hey, it's Niall 👋

My goal with this newsletter?

To share business ideas with real-world validation – some are proven winners, others have clear demand – so you can follow established playbooks or spot the next big opportunity.

This approach has worked great for me 💪

My last business, in a nutshell…

  • I saw what a successful entrepreneur was doing

  • Copied their approach for a different niche

  • Earned myself $1,000,000+

Now, with this newsletter, I curate success stories and smart signals so you can build your own profitable business 🚀

The downside? 

I can't dive deep on every idea or success story here. 

Luckily, my friend John is hosting a free summit where 35 successful entrepreneurs unpack exactly how they built their businesses 😍

👇 See below for more details, followed by my latest batch of ideas.

GPT WRAPPER

Someone Cloned His Simple Project And Makes $2K/Month

💬 Vinny tweets

my simple GPT wrapper has made me $9,567

He explains further…

CoverLetterGPT is a GPT wrapper that generates personalized cover letters based on the user’s uploaded CV and job description. The function that seperates it from just using chatGPT is that users can edit cover letters inline with AI assistance, as well as manage all the different cover letters they’ve generated. 

It’s super simple, and it’s even open-source! 

I launched it in August 2023 and it’s been a steady source of passive income since.

Now earning him about $550 each month 💰

The open source part is important, especially when you see this tweet from Vinny…

One guy even cloned it for a French audience and makes 2k/month 😂

Definitely worth trying this for other languages.

LEAD GENERATION

$450K Per Month Selling Leads To Moving Companies

💬 Brandon Longo tweets

I know a 20 year old in my city making $450K/month selling leads to moving companies

Landing page with typeform

Ranks high for top keywords like "Moving quotes" "Movers near me"

Runs Google Ads to it

Runs Meta Ads to it

Cold emails all moving companies in the city

Sells leads for 20$/pop to 40-50 companies

Insane profit

He's now doing this with Auto insurance

It's a fairly simple business model that's been working for years 😎

The trick is finding a local niche where you can dominate the search results and run ads relatively cheap.

TOGETHER WITH MONEY

Only about 4% of U.S. pet owners have pet insurance

Pet care costs are rising, yet not enough people are doing something about it. Pet insurance can significantly offset rising costs – all for as low as $10 a month. Want to join the 4% club?

PRINT ON DEMAND

This Niche Print-On-Demand Store Earns Millions

Recent video from Joe Robert 👇

The store is ChristFollowerLife.com, been around since 2018.

💬 Joe says…

They are focusing primarily on Christians… they sell many different print-on-demand items. Everything from wall art to phone cases and mugs and even some apparel options…

They have over 17,000 verified reviews… if just one out of five of their customers actually leave a review, they would have close to 100,000 customers which means they've likely made millions of dollars in sales and in profits

Wall art seems to be their main thing, as that's what they're running ads for 👀

At the end of the day this is a very simple store… They have likely done a lot of testing and… identified what works well for their niche and doubled down on that

Could you try creating a store like this for a different niche? 🤔

MEME BREAK

Gotta Get That Sweet Recurring Revenue 😂

PITCH DECKS

$3000 Per Month From Her Simple Productized Service

📝 Duygu Dulger writes

I was making presentations and eventually focus startups and become a pitch deck creator. I help founders with decks content, story, design, market sizing and more -everything from scratch…

I’ve been testing different ways to run this as a solo business. Here’s the most important change I made: I productized my service.

She's in Istanbul, started in 2021 🇹🇷

Her revenue…

Some months ~$2K some months ~$5K. (It was avg ~$3K/mo - from 2024 april to 2025 april)

My weakness is I have no big audience or proper personal branding yet. My service is one-time sales

🧐 Mainly finds clients via…

Twitter, LinkedIn, Upwork, referrals

But like she says, no big audience.

Which is encouraging: means you don't need tons of followers to earn decent money from a simple productized service 👍

PICNIC AS A SERVICE

They Earn $15K Per Month With Luxury Picnics

📝 Tim Richard writes

In the middle of the pandemic, Jocelyn Chin and Coco Chan started setting up luxury picnics for friends in the Bay Area.

They called it Picnic 'n Chill.

People naturally shared their set ups on social media and their business exploded organically.

They got to the point where they were doing 60+ luxury picnics a month and bringing in around $15,000/month, just setting up tables, rugs, and charcuterie boards in local parks.

One of those businesses that could be replicated in many areas, low barrier to entry 😎

Tim again…

This is the kind of business people laugh at until they realize it’s doing $180K/year with pillows and Target plates.

It’s simple. It’s local. And it scales organically (with no ad budget) if you get the visuals right.
