Hey, it's Niall 👋
One of the smartest ways to make money these days: become a power user of popular software.
Take Bubble.io as an example, a no-code app builder with 2 million users.
Become proficient with Bubble and you can monetize in various ways…
🛠️ Build your own app
Like David Bressler who started learning Bubble in 2022 and is now earning $2.8M/year (more about him below).
🤝 Become a freelance Bubble developer
I've featured a $10K/month one-person agency in this newsletter before, and there are lots of Bubble freelancers on Upwork with $100K+ earnings.
🤑 Create and sell Bubble plugins
I recently shared the story of a company doing this and earning $1M+ annual revenue. (Btw, such companies hire people who know Bubble. So you have that option, too.)
👀 Become a Bubble educator
Bubble tutorial videos on YouTube get 1000's of views. Put your affiliate link in the description and earn $1010/month minimum for every 100 referrals.
Now it's your turn: what popular software do you already know, or want to learn?
Become a ninja with that software, and you'll have several ways to earn a good income 💰

$2.8M Per Year Solo Founder: Don't Miss This Gold Rush
📝 Channing Allen reports…
One of them is David Bressler, who is earning $2.8M per year from Formula Bot, an AI-powered tool that translates text instructions into Excel formulas 🤖
I first wrote about him in 2023, when he was already up to $20K/month a year after launch.
The fascinating thing about David: he's not a coder.
He built Formula Bot with the no-code tool Bubble, and launched the first version in a weekend 🚀
David recently tweeted…
I believe intent to buy AI software is now at an all-time high.
This is the AI Gold Rush 2.0.
- Companies like Shopify and Duolingo are expecting its employees to adopt and exhaust AI tools before hiring new employees.
- Increased operational costs from tariffs means businesses need to invest in AI to find ways to maintain profit margins.
- Companies are promoting 'AI champions' to drive adoption and firming up their AI tech stack.
If you missed the first Gold Rush, don't miss this one.
He also tweeted a short playbook for figuring out what AI tool to build 👍

LOCAL SERVICE
Earning $30K Per Month From His 15-Minute Service
Entrepreneur reports 👇
Sina Omosowon was deep in a Ph.D. program studying plant evolution when a friend introduced him to the fast-growing business of TV mounting. He got trained, took a few jobs and quickly saw the potential.
Within six months, he was earning enough to pay for school and finish his degree debt-free. After graduation, instead of accepting a job offer, he went all in on his business, which now brings in $30,000 a month.
Apparently it takes him just 15 minutes to complete a job 😎
All his clients come through his listing on Thumbtack…
He treated his profile like a storefront, packing it with before-and-after photos, clear service details and nearly 2,000 glowing reviews. He also earned “Top Pro” status, logged over 3,500 hires and kept his average response time under 10 minutes.
Sina is based in Maryland.
Browse Thumbtack and see if there are highly-rated TV mounting services in your area 👀
If not… there's an opportunity.
Or if TV mounting doesn't float your boat, find other popular services on Thumbtack that aren't being offered near you 🎯
NICHE WEBSITE
He Earned Almost $1,000,000 Last Year
📝 Sean Ogle writes…
If success is simply all about how much money you make, then 2024 was my most successful year in 15 years of working for myself…
My business did just shy of 7 figures in 2024
Sean runs a couple of different brands, but it sounds like the big earner is Breaking Eighty.
That's a website, YouTube channel and community for golf enthusiasts ⛳️
Sean started it more than a decade ago, and has built it up steadily over the years.
Revenue sources include 👇
Display ad revenue
Paid community
Affiliate marketing
YouTube ad revenue
Goes to show that if you're passionate about a niche – Sean is a bonafide golf nut – and you're willing to create content for a long-ass time, it can pay off massively 🤑
MEME BREAK
Two Wolves
ASTROLOGY
Her Niche App is Earning $70K/Month After 90 Days
Neda the Astrologer has 200K+ followers on TikTok 🔮
From a recent story about her…
This random girl built an astrology app to $70,000 MRR in 90 days… only from organic TikTok marketing…
her founder’s journey started 2 years back… with her first post on tt@nedatheastrologer.
She had no app. She wasn’t selling anything…
She made videos [focusing on] the love/dating x astrology niche.
In 18 months she did 163,600,000 views…
Then, 3 months ago, she launched Starcrossed…
In just 3 months she went up to $70K MRR (iOS + Android)
Great example of someone building up a niche audience with consistent content, then finding a way to monetize 💪
If you don't fancy building up an audience yourself, consider partnering with an established influencer, help them create and deliver a product or service.
That worked out well for a friend of mine 👇
AI APP
Billionaire Founder Wants This Product To Exist
💬 Patrick Collison, co-founder of Stripe, tweets…
I want an AI product that inhabits my AirPods and continually mutters interesting things about the world around me, like an indefatigably burbling tour guide.
"The San Mateo Bridge was built in about a year. When it opened on 2 March 1929, it stretched 7.1 miles, making it longer than any other bridge on Earth at the time."
I've driven over the bridge many times, but never thought to look into its origins until today.
I've noticed there's a Places tab on my Wikipedia app that shows me nearby locations that have Wikipedia articles 📝
Looks like there's an API for this too.
With that and a few hours of vibe coding you could probably create a basic version of the app Patrick has in mind.
Next level would be an app that answers your follow-up questions 💪
How Warren Buffett Got Started
I just checked: Warren Buffett’s net worth is now $154 billion 🤯
He started out doing a bunch of odd jobs as a young fella back in the 1940’s and 50’s, from selling chewing gum to delivering newspapers to cashing in discarded tickets at the race track.
Nothing glamorous, but he worked consistently and saved every penny he made.
By the time he was 16 years old, he’d already earned the equivalent of about $60,000 in today’s money.
He took that small fortune and started investing.
By the time he was 30 years old, he was a millionaire 🤑
Goes to show: small first steps can lead to big things.
Here’s a small step you can take today:
That could well lead to you building a popular app that earns big bucks 🚀
