Hey, it's Niall šŸ‘‹

Shaan Puri once wrote…

The day you understand this framework, is the day you start learning marketing.

The framework…

Famous examples…

  • Disney: They don’t sell movies – they sell magic, wonder, childhood joy.

  • Coca-Cola: They don’t sell soda – they sell happiness and shared moments ("Open Happiness")

  • Nike: They don't sell shoes – they sell the ability to push yourself and "just do it."

Keep this in mind when considering a business idea.

What will you actually be selling? šŸ¤”

Not the product or service you provide, but the outcome you help people achieve.

Good example of this in the first story below šŸ‘‡

Beyond that, I've got a bunch more fresh business ideas for you.

Let's go.

SELLING SYSTEMS

$11.5K Per Month NOT Selling Websites

šŸ’¬ Asked on Reddit recently…

Boggy Cakes replies šŸ‘‡

Yes. I don’t sell websites. I have found more success selling systems… a website is a commodity. Making the switch allowed me to raise my asking price. I currently average $10-13K MRR…

A system is far more valuable than a ā€œwebsiteā€ because you can show the value and ROI of a system.

Currently, I’m putting together a new offer for a new system I am developing to get to $30k/month consistently and it is based on GHL’s core features.

GHL = Go High Level (aff link)

That's an all-in-one software that makes it easy to provide a bunch of valuable services to small businesses šŸ¤‘

Sounds like Boogy Cakes is selling "core features" like…

  • Basic Website / Funnel

  • Missed Call Text-Back

  • Online Booking System

Basic stuff that many businesses can benefit from and need help to set up and maintain šŸ‘

TOGETHER WITH HIGHLEVEL

Build a $5K+/Month Business With This Tool

You don't need to be a coder, marketer, or designer to start a profitable online business.

High Level gives you everything you need to launch a profitable agency, even if you're starting from scratch.

šŸ§‘ā€šŸ’» Real example: the 16-year-old in the UK featured in my recent video.

He had zero experience, just learned by doing – and now runs a full-time business charging up to $397/month for services like…

  • Google review automation

  • Website creation + hosting

  • CRM and client follow-ups

  • Reputation management

He's got 22 paying clients and makes around $5K/month.

The best part? He's doing it solo. No big team. No ads. No fancy tech skills.

Why It Works (Even If You're Not ā€œTechyā€)

āœ… HighLevel is built to be plug-and-play
āœ… You can use templates and drag-and-drop tools
āœ… Everything – CRM, automations, SMS/email marketing – is in one place
āœ… Flat monthly fee → resell as high-value services to clients

Normally, they only give a 14-day trial, but this link gives you a full 30-day trial to try it out risk-free šŸ‘‡

*Disclosure: If you become a paid customer of HighLevel through my link, I will receive a commission at no extra cost to you. I'm building my new business on HighLevel, which is why I'm happy to recommend it.

SELLING EBOOKS

His Digital Product: From $0 to $1,200 in 30 Days (No Ads)

šŸ“ Akram B writes…

A month ago, I launched my first digital product—an AI prompt pack to help students, freelancers, and creators save time and build income. I had zero followers, no email list, and no ad budget… it brought in over $1,200 in its first 30 days.

Marketing…

Social proof through content: I started sharing free value posts on Reddit and WhatsApp, always giving more than I asked for. These posts attracted the right people without being spammy. 

See his Reddit posts here, nothing fancy 🄱

All promoting this lead magnet…

I gave away a free mini-pack to build an email list. This brought me early trust and an audience before selling anything. 

I signed up and kept an eye on his emails šŸ‘€

Really simple stuff, sharing AI prompts to help people save time.

Then in his 4th email he offers a $10 guide which also sounds pretty basic.

What surprised me most was how much organic platforms (especially Reddit) can drive sales if you provide genuine value first.

Could you try something like this for a different audience? šŸ¤”

PARTNERSHIPS

$20K Fast Start for This Super-Niche Agency

A short-form video agency, aimed at magicians šŸ‘‰ flymedia.us

We turn your show footage into a powerful social media presence that builds your fanbase and grows your career.

Co-founder Bennett Santora recently posted a video explaining how the agency generated $20K revenue within its first couple of months šŸ’°

They mainly found clients via cold outreach on Instagram.

Opener…

i saw your [show] where you [did xyz] and i’m blown away! i have one question tho…

Helps a lot that Bennett himself is a juggler with a big following online = serious credibility šŸ˜Ž

But I get the impression that it's mostly Bennett's co-founder who's managing the agency, and they had a VA doing the outreach.

There could be a short-form video agency like this for every niche online šŸŽÆ

Find someone in a niche who has built up a good following via video content, partner with them, use their credibility to grow the agency.

Or leverage such a partnership to start something else, like a paid online community šŸ‘‡

TEACHING KIDS

Boring Business, Big Money: After School Education For Kids

šŸ’¬ Asked on Reddit…

ComprehensiveYam replies…

After school education for kids. We have about 1000 students weekly in one single location. About 100k profit per month.

šŸ“ Elsewhere he writes that he's now 50 years old…

Retired at 46 with about 6m. Now about 10m…

Wife and I started [the business]. Went from zero to retired in about 13 years… wife is a literal genius with kids and I’m a process and scale person so put our heads together…

it’s still running with us remotely supervising… 2m top line [per year] and about 1.2m is what we take home

šŸš€ How they got started…

Put flyers in library. Teach class on dining room table. Worked our asses off (7 days nonstop) for years…

Likely an opportunity for this kind of business in every decent-sized city šŸ‘

AFFILIATE MARKETING

She Earned $2970 in 30 Days By Leafing Through Poetry Books

A recent video by Sean Dollwet šŸ‘‡

He's talking about Morgan Richard Olivier, an author with several books of poetry for sale via Amazon and TikTok Shop.

Sean breaks down Morgan's strategy and how you might copy it.

But IMO the easier way to make money here is to become an affiliate for authors šŸ¤‘

Sean shows at the 1:30 mark that Morgan's affiliates are earning $1000's promoting her books via TikTok Shop.

Angela Dawn, with only 17K followers, is the top affiliate with $14.85K revenue generated in 30 days.

20% commission so her earnings for one month = $2970 šŸ˜Ž

Angela's TikTok is mostly simple videos of her leafing through different books. A few took off and racked up millions of views.

šŸ“ Related post on Reddit…

TikTok shop (affiliates) is hands down the easiest side hustle rn… I’ve done over $1k since starting this last week… 

it’s literally some of the easiest money I’ve ever made… you basically get payed a commission for selling someone’s products through your videos.
