Hey, it's Niall 👋

What future tech are you most excited about?

Top of my list: mass adoption of self-driving cars 🚙

Roads will be safer, cities less congested, and car trips will feel more like train rides.

(It’ll also massively expand the in-car entertainment industry… something savvy entrepreneurs will profit from.)

Also on my list: voice-first computing 💬

Because typing is clunky and unnatural.

Texting is even worse.

Eventually, we’ll all be talking to our computers – no keyboard required 😎

In fact, that tech already exists, and it’s surprisingly good.

Check out the first resource below to try it yourself, free of charge 👇

Beyond that, the usual batch of fresh business ideas.

Let’s go.

SELLING PDFS

$3.7K in 30 Days From a Single Digital Product (Weird AI Hack)

tchapito24 shares how he recently earned $3,753 in one month with a digital product aimed at the Arabic market 🎯

The rub: he doesn't know a word of Arabic.

His product is about how to sell digital products… I know, pretty meta. But his process could work for many niches 😎

Here's what he did…

  • Used ChatGPT to write scripts in Arabic

  • ElevenLabs for the voiceovers

  • Canva to make "short, clean, educational videos"

  • Posted them on a new TikTok account

  • Got better at writing hooks to get more views

  • Grew account to 1000+ followers

Then he created his product 👇

I used ChatGPT to help me turn my learnings into a short PDF guide in Arabic.

Designed the cover with Canva.

Uploaded it to Gumroad, priced it at $9.

Posted a link in his TikTok bio and started making sales 🤑

Now…

I’m planning to expand this model to other underserved languages and niches.

There’s way more room in this space than most people think.

SAAS

Yet Another Form Builder Already Earning $10K Per Month

💬 Davis tweets…

Youform has crossed $10,500 MRR 🚀

Elsewhere he says it took them "a bit over 1 year" to grow from $0 to $9K MRR.

Youform is yet another bootstrapped form builder.

Amazing to me that there are so many of these indie form builders finding success, competing with giants like Google, Typeform, Jotform, etc.

Another good reminder that you don't need an original idea to build a successful business 💪

And competition – even massive competition – is often a good sign.

Just gotta find your unique angle and put in the work consistently.

What's a popular product or service you think could be better? 🤔

Or one that doesn't serve a niche audience particularly well?

How about building your unique version?

LOCAL MEDIA

Earning $10K/Month From His Local Media Side Hustle

Wichita Life is a local media brand about the city of Wichita (pop: 400K).

Started by Landon Huslig and his wife as a simple Instagram account back in 2017 🚀

According to a recent interview with Landon…

Now, Wichita Life reaches nearly 60,000 people on Instagram and 31,000 via newsletter — engaging a total of 120,000 across all platforms. In 2024, Landon hit his biggest milestone yet: $119,814 in top-line revenue.

“That was the first year I out-earned my day job. That felt big.”

💰 Monetized mainly via sponsors…

to identify sponsors, [Landon] wrote down every billboard advertiser he saw in town.

Pretty cool that he's been able to build the brand to $10K/month, and it sounds like he's done it while working a full-time job as an engineer 💪

I believe most cities/regions could support a scrappy local media brand like this.

People seem to prefer these outlets to traditional newspapers and radio stations nowadays.

Could you start one for your area?

TRAVEL APP

$7500/Month Solving a Common Travel Headache

✈️ Flywize is an online service that helps you claim compensation from lost or delayed flights.

Best I can tell, the site launched within the last 2 years and the homepage is still in Slovakian, the native language of the founder 🇸🇰

Her story…

Olga Marekova never set out to become a founder. In fact, she wasn’t looking to build anything at all—she just wanted a service to exist that could help people get compensation when their flights were delayed or cancelled. 

When she realised most passengers were entitled to hundreds of euros and had no idea how to claim it, she started helping friends for free. That eventually turned into Flywize, a bootstrapped SaaS that now brings in $7.5K/month.

Sounds like it was a manual service that eventually became a web app, Olga figuring out how to build it as she went along 🧐

Flywize now helps recover €20-30K per month in airline compensation, taking a 30% cut. It has served over 2,000 passengers, mainly in Europe, and recently expanded to help users in the UK and US.

I could see this becoming a huge business.

And I like how Olga started off with a manual service to validate the idea 😎

What's a manual service you can provide that could eventually be turned into an app?

WINDOW CLEANING

20-Year-Old Earning $1K/Day With This Local Service Business

First-Meet-5260 says he's earning $1K per day with a window cleaning business 👇

Im 20 years old and started cleaning windows last summer as a side hustle and with $100 worth of equipment scaled up to $1500 of traditional equipment and was making $70-90 per hour. 

After going back to college for the year, I invested $3000 into a water fed pole and starting hiring friends. Just hired 4 cleaners and am now clearing $1000/day easily

🧐 Finding customers…

Door to door sales in a nice neighborhood! You just have to memorize the main points of your service and know sort of where to take the conversation if they have different objections! 

Then when you are there, focus on smiling, being warm and friendly, and try to connect with them on a personal level..

The hardest part is getting uncomfortable and knocking doors. I don't worry about the rejections, because there are people out there who have dirty windows who don't want to spend 4 hours cleaning in the sun, so I know I'm there to help.
