Business Ideas Newsletter
Hey, it's Niall 👋
Legendary entrepreneur and entertainer Dolly Parton once said…
Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.
With that in mind, every once in a while I try to disconnect from work and give my business brain a rest.
July is one of those months, because I’m heading back to Ireland to visit family 🇮🇪
Which is why, for the rest of July, you’ll only hear from me once per week (Fridays only) instead of the usual two.
Then in August, I'll be gearing up for a new project I can’t wait to share with you 🚀
Hint: it involves my return to YouTube + a surprise for you…
Stay tuned for all that.
In the meantime, enjoy my latest batch of fresh-cooked business ideas 👇

Chrome Extension Idea: Track Tesla’s Real-Time Inventory
Tesla’s online inventory looks slick… but under the hood? It’s buggy, slow, and sometimes lists cars for 1 Turkish Lira.
This extension fixes that. It scans Tesla’s backend for live inventory updates, spots price drops, flags errors… and alerts you the moment a cancelled order pops back up.
Set your filters (model, price range, color), and it notifies you when something matches. Plus, it keeps a log. So, you can actually see what’s going on over time instead of refreshing like a maniac.
Keywords to rank for:
– Tesla canceled order tracker
– Tesla price tracker
– Tesla inventory tracker
🤔 Reminds me of that extension that automatically reschedules US Visa application appointments…
PARTY RENTALS
$18K Last Month Setting Up Bounce Houses & Water Slides
💬 Someone commenting on Reddit…
Party rentals. I set up bounce houses and water slides on the weekend.
It's back breaking work but I made $18K last month… June was crazy with end of school events and such.
💰 Startup costs…
At a minimum I'd say $10K. Depends if you have a vehicle that can tow.
The more you invest, the more you can make.
That being said, my initial investment was $7K. I bought 2 bounce houses and a 4x6 trailer and pulled them with my 2001 subaru forester.
This was 6 years ago tho so things are generally more expensive now. You also need liability insurance from the jump (no pun intended) or you can lose it all.
Also check your states requirements as they can vary. Here in NJ, you need to get your inflatables inspected by the state every year for $280 per inflatable.

SAAS
$1000 Per Month From His Niche Social Media Tool
💬 Luca Restagno tweets…
I am glad to announce that my startup reached $1k MRR 12 months after launch.
His startup = BlackTwist, a scheduling tool for Threads.
Threads launched in July 2023 and Luca launched BlackTwist a year later 🚀
There are a ton of other social media scheduling apps, and many of them now support Threads, but Luca has done well by making that platform his sole focus.
I've seen this formula work many times 👇
Pick a successful SaaS
Do what they're doing but more niche
Threads now has 200M+ users and continues to grow every month.
Keep an eye out for new platforms that generate a lot of buzz 🔥
Often opportunities there to provide tools or services that have proven demand on established platforms.

The Things I Do
YOUTUBE
$3M/Year YouTuber Doing it Again With New Channel
With 20M subscribers, Daily Dose of Internet might be the biggest faceless YouTube channel.
Started in 2015, each video is a compilation of viral clips 👀
Last I checked, founder Jason Gryniewicz was earning $3M+ per year from it.
And he recently started a new channel: Daily Dose of Pets
Within a week: 2 videos, 1M views, 87K subscribers 📈
Probably earning $1000's per month already from ad revenue.
A popular comment on the first video…
Finally. I've been looking for a pet channel where they don't spam the video with every annoying sound effect conceivable or play a grating obnoxious song over every clip.
Jason keeps his edits simple, and that's likely a big key to his success.
Got me thinking: what other niche could you create a daily dose-style YT channel for? 🤔
How about…
Cars
Technology
Kindness
Sports (or a particular sport)
DIY hacks
Cute kids
Travel
RECYCLING
She's Earned $200K+ From Recycling Stuffed Animals
📝 From a recent interview with Charlotte Liebling…
[She] noticed a problem while volunteering at a charity shop: donated stuffed animals were going straight into the bin or being sold as dog toys, despite the love and memories attached to them.
Charlotte saw an opportunity. She created Loved Before, what she calls a “sustainable soft toy adoption agency” that’s now facilitated over 10,000 sales and built partnerships with some of the world’s most prestigious retailers like Selfridges and Bloomingdale’s.
The toys sell for $20-35, so that's $200,000+ revenue 🤑
Not a lot considering Charlotte started the business in 2018, but she's been running it as a side hustle and her raw materials are free.
With that in mind 👇
What raw materials can you source free or cheap in your area?
How can you make a business out of that?
👀 Real examples…
Turning coffee grounds into biofuel
Turning citrus peel into yarn
Turning cigarette butts into construction bricks
