Hey, it's Niall 👋
Did you hear about the $8 million janitor? 👀
Ronald Read was from Vermont.
He spent 40+ years working as a janitor and gas station attendant, never earned a big salary.
But he was a patient investor, buying shares in blue chip companies, holding them for decades, and reinvesting the dividends 😎
Ronald never flaunted his wealth. He frequented the public library and was content to drive the same old car for many years.
When he passed away in 2014, his family was shocked to discover he was worth $8 million 🤑
My takeaway 👇
Getting rich is less about what you earn, and more about what you invest.
For example: $350/month into a broad index fund grows to roughly $1 million in 40 years 🤯
So while this newsletter aims to help you earn more money, don't forget to make the most of the money you already have.
Alright, let's get to today's fresh batch of business ideas.

Earning $2000 Per Month With Only 7K Followers on TikTok
Affectionate_Run4678 shares how he's doing it 👇
I pushed out my social media to different companies, and pushed that I would have their logo on my videos, and in return get some sort of monthly fee. This was agreed on, and I now get a flat base monthly fee for having the logo on all videos.
This isn't entirely passive - you've still got to make the memes/videos in the niche. But then again, it's super realistic and I'm earning 2k/month for this…
I spend around 5 hours a week making [the videos]
He doesn't share his channel 🙈 but reveals what kind of content he's posting…
Literally just memes. It's so easy anyone could do it. I mean, it's probably best to not just be random memes, and probably helps if you have specific ones, like maybe driving memes or podcast memes.
So similar content to what this guy posts on Facebook…
But on TikTok you're looking for a channel sponsor, charge them a monthly fee to have their logo on all your videos, and probably a link in your bio 👍
NOTION
This Guy Has Earned $500K+ Selling Templates
👀 Posted on Threads…
This is Jason Chin (aka Easlo).
He made $500K+ selling Notion templates.
I wrote about Jason back in 2021, soon after he got started…
How Jason came up with his business idea 👇
He was a student using Notion to organize his notes.
But instead of just keeping it to himself, he realized others might find value in what he was doing.
🔑 Lesson:
→ Find skills that have solved problems in your own life and use them to help others.
Another key here is that Jason focused on providing templates for a popular platform (Notion).
Keep an eye out for new and rising platforms that you can build templates for 🧐

PARKING RENTAL
$28K Per Month Passive Income From a Dirt Lot
📝 From a recent article…
Sam Hunt, a 61-year-old San Francisco resident… earns $54,000 a year by renting out spare parking spaces as a side hustle…
Sam’s journey into this lucrative side hustle began several years ago when he started using Spacer, America’s leading parking marketplace, to rent out three unused parking spaces.
He owned 3 parking spaces which he rented out for $300/month each.
Since scaled up to 15 total spaces and earns about $54,000/year in passive income 🤑
Obviously you need capital to buy spaces in the first place.
If you can pull together a lot of capital, you can earn big money, like this guy on TikTok 👇
This empty dirt lot makes more than a luxury condo… Found 4.3 acres near the interstate zoned industrial but used for nothing. Owner was a retired contractor who just never got around to selling.
Offered $310,000 closed in 18 days, no brokers, no fancy marketing.
Now? 60 plus truck spots at $18/day plus equipment storage at $1.50 per square foot. $28,000 a month in passive income. There's gravel, fences, and a payment system.
LINKEDIN INFLUENCER
She Earned $23K From Brand Deals in April
Back in 2021, Jade Walters started posting content on social media to help new college grads find a job 😎
She covered topics like…
10 job boards students & graduates should know
3 things I like to do before an interview
3 campus ambassador programs hiring right now
💬 Now, according to a recent interview…
What began as a TikTok page has evolved into a thriving business encompassing social media content across platforms, a dedicated website, and in-person personal development workshops…
Brand deals comprise the bulk of Jade’s income… her monthly revenue fluctuates; she brought in $2.5K from brand deals in February and $23K in April.
Looks like LinkedIn has become her main channel, 155K followers on there 📈
Jade is a great example of someone exploring their interest / sharing their expertise on LinkedIn, building an audience, then monetizing.
