Hey, it's Niall 👋
Ever hear the saying: the riches are in the niches?
It's true.
🎯 When you pick a niche you actually enjoy, three big things happen…
You stop competing with everyone and instead stand out as the go-to person in that niche.
Marketing your services gets way easier – you already know how your audience thinks and talks.
You end up working with "your kind of people," which makes the whole process more fun.
That’s why I love the first story in today's newsletter.
It’s about a husband-and-wife team who went all-in on a very specific niche: dog trainers 🐶
And in just a few short years, that focus has helped them grow a business earning $10K+ per month.
👇 More on them below, plus a bunch more business ideas.

MARKETING AGENCY
$10K+ Per Month Helping Dog Trainers
Check out Digiwoof, a marketing agency for dog trainers 🐶
Run by a husband and wife team in Oregon, they provide services like…
Website and graphic design
Social media marketing
Process automation
Email and SMS marketing
They've built their agency on HighLevel (aff link), and provide many services via that platform 😎
Digiwoof recently received an award from HighLevel for having 100+ sub-accounts (ie. clients).
With a minimum price of $97/mo per sub-account, they're most likely earning $10K+ per month 💰
Looks like their website has only been online since 2021, so a relatively new business.
To follow in their footsteps, first pick a niche you already have some connection to, so it's easier to find your first clients 🧐
Then use HighLevel to deliver in-demand services to that niche. (Or just copy Digiwoof's services, every niche needs those.)
I've seen other $10K/mo HighLevel-based businesses focusing on niches like 👇
Tattoo parlors
Music teachers
Pawn shops
Dance studios
Churches
And many more
What niche could you serve with this business idea? 🤔

AI APPS
$150K Per Month From a Niche Note-Taking App
💬 Pat Walls tweets…
Free business idea based on a couple interesting tidbits i heard recently:
- Met a girl last week making $20k MRR with an AI note taking app for a very specific subset of therapists
- My mom, a therapist, is attending a webinar this week about how to utilize AI to automate the note writing process. She is very tech-averse
- Quote from my mom: "the worst part of being a therapist is having to write notes"
The biggest challenge is the HIPAA compliance etc, but that's probably also a decent moat.
Meanwhile, Yung Sidekick is an AI note-taking app for mental health clinicians that earns $150K/month 🤯
Origin story…
During therapist interviews somebody casually mentioned that documentation swallowed absurd amounts of their time… every single one confirmed the pain without prompting.
Many professions spend a ton of time on documentation.
All of them could probably use a customized AI note taking app 🤖
WEB DESIGN
Learned This Skill On The Side To Earn $3000/Month
📝 From an interview with Chris Misterek…
About 6 years ago, Chris went through a split from his wife…
“I had to figure out a way fairly quickly to learn how to make some extra income on the side for me and my 3 daughters”...
He didn’t want to leave his full-time job, but his salary wasn’t enough to support him and his family.
A friend suggested he look into doing some web design. So, Chris found some free online courses and worked through them as quickly as he could…
Chris started out on a platform called Code Academy. At the time it was 100% free. (Chris said they now have some paid courses, but you can still access all the same stuff he did for free.)...
Chris’s first clients were all friends and family. He did his first job for free, then after that one he started a fair price as he was still learning.
He made $500 for his first website. Then he started doubling his rates, he charged $1,000 for his next job, then $2,000, then $4,000.
Before long he was earning $3000/month consistently with his web design side hustle 😎
I reckon there's still plenty of opportunity in this space.
Much easier to build websites nowadays but most people don't have time to figure it out themselves, would rather hire someone with a little experience.
That could be you 👍

JOB BOARDS
Earning €125,000/Year From His Job Boards
💬 Wouter Meens tweets…
Over the past year, my job boards generated around €125,000 in total revenue, with a profit margin of approximately 95%. About 85% of that revenue came from my two largest job boards.
He doesn't name them but one is likely sustainablejobs.nl, a niche Dutch-language job board 🇳🇱
How Wouter started that…
for about 9 months we send out messages on Instagram (this was 2021) to organizations in sustainability and offer them to post unlimited amount of jobs for free.
That way we received around 250 job posts in the first 9 months. Which gave a boost to website traffic via Google for Jobs, gave as content to share in socials (so the followers started to grow) and job seekers became more inclined to sign up for the jobs newsletter.
then after 9 months we changed to paid job posts only.
The tough thing about this business model 👇
Job boards are two-sided marketplaces. No jobs = no candidates. No candidates = no jobs. It can take 2–3 years to grow from scratch.
A shortcut? Buy a job board with existing traffic and clients.
Sure, it costs money — but you skip the hardest part: the cold start.
Try Acquire.com or Jobboardsearch.com to find listings.

TRAINING AI
This Work Ain't Always Fun But It Can Pay "Ridiculously Well"
I wrote about Data Annotation before, a site that pays you to train AI 🤖
One guy reported earning $25/hour "fact-checking" the output of various AI models.
No experience, flexible schedule, perfect for introverts.
Two people recently shared how much they earned from the same site in July 👇
$1,064
$420.13
The second guy says he typically puts in 10-15 hours per week, which equates to about $10/hour 🤑
Someone else commented…
There's no waitlist, but there's a fairly long entry test that not everyone passes. The work can range from something super fun and easy (I had one recently where I just had to generate images with distortions and classify the distortion, super simple) to absolutely grueling (pages on pages of instructions, create long rubrics for a long prompt + system prompt, evaluate and edit at every step based on your rubric).
To be fair, some of the hard work pays ridiculously well and if you do a good job, you eventually have an endless amount of it available. But again, it's not fun work.
