Hey, it's Niall š
A few years ago, Dan and Rachel hatched a simple ā but brilliant ā idea in the digital-marketing world š
Reach out to the top creators in their niche
Bundle those creatorsā best products together
Sell the package at a rock-bottom price (but only for one week)
Leverage every contributorās audience to promote
They call it the BC Stack, and theyāve run it annually for 11 straight years.
This yearās bundle features 65+ digital marketing courses and tools ā meaning 65+ creators all promoting the same offer.
By my conservative estimate, Dan and Rachel will pocket $49,000+ (after splitting revenue) in just a few weeks of work š¤
Plus, over the years this side project has helped them connect and collaborate with loads of top people in their niche.
What if you applied this formula to a niche you love?
Imagine pitching top experts, bundling their products, and offering it at a price thatās almost too good to be true š
Itās a great way to build + serve your audience, connect with key players, and earn significant revenue.
š More about the BC Stack below, followed by my usual fresh batch of business ideas.

Doctor Built His Own App With AI & Saved $100K
Amjad Masad is the CEO of Replit, a popular platform for building apps with AI š¤
He recently tweeted a message from a Replit userā¦
Iām a doctor with no coding experience at all and Iāve built in 5 days a fully functioning app for my clinic with integration into bookings system, ability to request prescriptions, a habit tracker, nutrition tracker with a built in database, a sleep tracker, a medication tracker with built in database and ai agent answering common medication questions, a workout tracker with built in 150 exercise database, a weight and BMI tracker, an ai agent with a symptom checker and a premium content and course area.
All with beautiful transitions and matching my website.
This wouldāve taken me 1ā2 years to have implemented at a cost of Ā£100ā150k.
So far itās cost me Ā£75 with the additional usage.
I literally cannot believe it.
Goes to show how easy it has become to build software š
Play around with Replit for a few days and you could build apps like this for clients.
Here's an example of someone who did just that and earned $750 š°

$400 a Pop Renting Out Big LOVE Letters
š A post on Redditā¦
Scroller4life repliesā¦
We currently rent out Marquee letters for weddings, but also birthdays, baby showers, graduations etcā¦
The letters go for 75.00 per letter plus deliver and setup so a total of 400 to 450 depending on where we deliver. Will most likely increase prices to get a four letter rental like this up to 500 plus. For us as a side gig itās decent cash for the time involved, doesnāt require renting a van or box truck (usually), and the letters only need so much upkeep.
Only difficult part is building all the letters necessary. But once that was done, itās only storage fees, and gas in terms of overhead.
Iād say itās the perfect balance of time to income as far as side gigs go.
Sounds like a great side hustle if you can build letters like this yourself, or partner with someone who can do that part š¤
WEIRD
$120K Per Month Reading Your Coffee Grounds
š¬ Saw this random comment onlineā¦
There was (is?) a popular Turkish app that tells your fortune based on the photos of leftover coffee grounds in your cup. Itās an old tradition to read it irl so they made app(s) where people could read it online then updated the app so now AI reads your fortune from coffee cups.
The app is called Faladdin, earning an estimated $120K/mo on Apple and Android according to Sensor Tower.
It does a lot more than read coffee grounds. It's a fully-fledged tarot card reading, daily astrology, and birth chart app š®
But the coffee grounds angle is fascinating.
What other old traditions could you build a business around? š¤
I'm reminded of a guy from my hometown in Ireland, building a nice following by filming himself lifting old stones, bringing attention to a forgotten tradition.

CLEANING
$500K Per Year With Her Simple Local Business
š A story about Amber Starling in Manhattan, Kansasā¦
Starling started Good Witch Cleaning with just a vacuum and $100 worth of supplies from a discount store.
Within one year, she hired her first employee and managed impressive growth to about $500,000 annually.
So literally just a cleaning service that she worked hard at and scaled smartly š
I found my first clients by posting on Facebook, advertising a $99 whole-house special. I had to eat a lot of crow in those days. I worked with property managers in the area who had terrible reputations and very high expectations ā really difficult clients.
š° Revenue growthā¦
In 2017, we were at $11,000 in revenue ā that was before I'd hired anyone. In 2018, we got up to $57,000; $119,000 in 2019; $216,000 in 2020; and $467,000 in 2021. Since then, we've stabilized in that revenue range, and that's by choice.

AI AGENTS
Agents as a Service = Massive Opportunity
š¬ Michael Karnjanaprakorn, founder of Skillshare, tweetsā¦
I don't want to build AI Agents from scratch. I want to use the best ones someone else created.
Make it one click and easy to useā¦
For example, I want to subscribe to an "Executive Assistant" AI service.
The "company" behind it would have one AI Manager I interact with 1000s of AI agents and workflows underneath. Constantly updated and optimized.
The AI Manager is personalized and customized for me.
Would easily pay for this.
Another way is one could build the best AI agents "employees"
Apply to companies and have them work there. Collect the salary checks.
Or could be a long-tail marketplace where the best AI agents rise to the top.
Whichever way this manifests, there seems to be a massive opportunity.
