Hey, it's Niall š
Most people don't know thisā¦
But Iām a basketball junkie š
And I'm in my element right now with the NBA Finals in full swing.
Some of my favorite NBA storylines involve the people who make a big impact ā and earn a ton of money ā while keeping a low profile š
Like Rich Paul, agent to LeBron James and many other NBA stars.
He gets paid a 4% commission on contracts he negotiates for clients.
Doesn't sound like muchā¦ until you hear his net worth is an estimated $120 million š¤Æ
And here's the crazy part: even a die-hard NBA fan like me wouldn't recognize that man walking down the street.
If you like the sound of that ā being rich without being famous ā then definitely check out the first story below š
It's a āmiddlemanā business where you handle the deal-making, stay behind the scenes, and keep your bank account (and your anonymity) intact.
Plus, I've got a related resource and 4 more under-the-radar business ideas to keep your wheels turning š„
Let's dive in.

INFLUENCER MARKETING
Earning Up To $75K Per Deal with His Agency
A recent video interview with Abu Lahya š
Abu brokers deals between brands and influencers and collects a fee, as much as $75,000 for one deal š¤Æ
He started about 5 years ago, earned only $200 for his first campaign.
Thenā¦
for a very long time I was just running [the agency] myself, even to multiple six figures in profit
š Sounds like a great business if you want to stay behind the scenesā¦
Influencers are lazy, they just want to post videos. They're content creators, they're not business guys. I'm not a content creator, I'm a business guy.
Plenty of opportunity still to be had hereā¦
Itās just growing and growing. Even from last year. This year, $25 billion spent on influencer marketing. In 2030 itās going to be $100 billionā¦
So many brands still donāt know how to do it.
And so they're happy to pay big money for a competent middleman š°

FOAM PARTIES
He Charges $375+ Per Hour For This Niche Local Service
š¬ An interview with Tim Carstensenā¦
How the business works š
Tim shows up with professional-grade foam cannons that create walls of bubbles up to shoulder height. Kids dance, play, and frolic in kid-friendly foam while upbeat music plays and a professional voiceover builds excitement with countdowns.
Love how Tim came up with the ideaā¦
Tim was originally researching bounce house rentals but discovered the insurance costs were prohibitiveā¦
While browsing party rental Facebook groups (yes, thereās a group for everything), he noticed companies in warmer states offering foam parties for kids alongside their bounce houses.
Tim researched his area and found only one competitor 50 miles north. That was his green light.
He now charges $375+ for a one-hour party š¤
Could be worth checking your area, see what the competition is like.

Think of this as Virtual Influencers 2.0.
And the 1.0's are already earning big money š° despite their video content looking obviously computer-generatedā¦
$10 million per year!
That's what virtual influencer Lil Miquela reportedly earns from brand partnershipsā¦ Without ever stepping foot in a photo studio.

FINDING IDEAS
4 Winning Startup Ideas Waiting To Be Discovered
š From a recent edition of Greg Isenberg's newsletterā¦
Most people think finding startup ideas is like mining for goldā¦ But the best ideas aren't buried underground waiting to be discovered. They're sitting on the surface, scattered everywhere, waiting for someone to pick them up.
He goes on to give several examples, including š
Ask AI directly. Prompt ChatGPT: āGive me 10 tedious workflows a [job title] does that AI could automate.ā Rinse and niche down.
Audit your browser behavior. Check where youāre copy/pasting between tools. That friction is a startup idea.
Run this Google search: site:reddit.com āis there a tool thatā + your niche. Youāll find users begging for tools that donāt exist yet.
Watch what small businesses manage in spreadsheets. Go talk to your local dentist, boutique agency, or gym owner. If theyāre updating something daily in Excel, thereās an AI agent to be built.
