Business Ideas Newsletter
Hey, it's Niall š
One question I keep hearing from you:
Out of the thousands of business ideas youāve seen, which business would you start?
Well, I finally have an answer.
Over the last 2-3 months, I dove deep into one idea:
70+ hours of research and due diligence
Softālaunched the business and already earned my first chunk of revenue
Sneak peek: I found a 16āyearāold pulling in $1,000+ per week, and pros are making millions per month
š„ Tomorrowās email will reveal everything, with a quick video showing exactly how it works (and how you can do the same).
Donāt miss it.
In the meantime, check out my latest batch of fresh business ideas below.

VIRTUAL ASSISTANT
Her $60K/Year Side Hustle: Virtual House Management
š Side Hustle Nation reportsā¦
Hannah Morgan found a way to help busy families get that support without the big price tag. She started Heron House Management, a virtual service that handles all the stuff families need to do but never have time for.
Think about it: remembering when summer camp sign-ups open, booking doctor appointments, planning family trips, or just keeping track of everyoneās schedules. Hannahās team does all of that ā from their computers.
Her business made $60,000 last year and keeps growing. And the best part is she works totally remote and helps families get their time back.
Looks like the business is just over a year old š
Typical use caseā¦
You tell your house manager your kidsā ages, interests, budget, and availability. They map out the entire 11-week summer, slot in various camps, handle registration and paperwork, coordinate logistics, identify gaps in care, and even suggest when to take that vacation youāve been talking about.
I'd bet there is a big market for this kind of service, room for plenty of providers š

AI AGENTS
Master This Foundational Skill And Earn Big $$$
š I tend to agree with Kyle Poyar when he writesā¦
I believe that the ability to hire and manage AI agents will be a foundational skill for, well, everyone.
He goes on to give examples of AI agents that you could set up for clients š
LinkedIn engagement coach. Every month it analyzes Jacobās recent posts and writes a digest of whatās going well and whatās not. This coach recently encouraged him to post on Saturday mornings, for example, which is when heās most likely to go viral. This use case is fairly easy to copy with opportunities to customize the frequency of coaching, how to receive the output and any special instructionsā¦
Competitor pricing tracker. It monitors competitor pricing changes by scraping competitor websites, analyzing the plans and sending alerts when there are significant updatesā¦
Demo request qualifier agent. Relay.app collects demo requests through a HubSpot form, specifically asking for a LinkedIn URL (optional) and company name (mandatory). The AI agent then sends that information to OpenAI to make a decision to classify the demo request as either: qualified (if so, send a scheduling link), unqualified (if so, politely decline) or not sure (if so, escalate to the team via Slack).
Lots of platforms available now to build such agents, but the one Kyle highlights is Relay.app, which has a bunch of pre-built templates (like the above) that you can repurpose š

CONVERSION APP
His App Earned $3857 Revenue Within a Few Weeks
Jake Manger tweets that he earned about $5,886 AUD in April from HowToConvert.co, a website/app he launched the previous month š
He writesā¦
It does more than 3000 document, video, image and audio conversions locally.
Today Iām celebrating reaching over 800 paying users. I made everything from the logo and the code to the marketing.
What got me my most users was a launch post that reached the top 10 posts of all time on r/macapps (itās now 14th).
He adds in the launch post š
There are plenty of file conversion sites, but when you use them, youāre sending your files and data to their servers. I didnāt like that and I wanted to use local tools but with a drag and drop app, so non-programmers could use it!
Great example of identifying an unsolved problem in a competitive niche, and building a profitable solution šŖ

What don't you like about them?
