Hey, it's Niall š
Check out this YouTube channel thatās quietly racking up millions of views ā without doing anything flashyā¦
Screenshot from Social Blade
Launched in 2023, that channel has already grown to 85K subscribers and 63M views ā mostly from short, simple screencast videos showing how to do things likeā¦
Change your age on TikTok
Add a page border in MS Word
Cancel Netflix auto payment
Each video is just 2-3 minutes long, usually with an AI voiceover. No face on camera. No complex editing.
And the channel is likely pulling in over $2,000/month just from YouTube ads.
Which got me thinkingā¦ why arenāt more people doing this? š¤

From Broke & Depressed to $15K/Month in 1 Year
š¬ Denis Yurchak tweetsā¦
1 year ago, I was depressed and had only $300 in my bank account
Now my product makes $15,000 a month
He'd built 15 products in 3 years but hadn't made much money š„
Thenā¦
In March 2025, Skype closed down. I used Skype myself to call while traveling and knew there was an audience for this
I've put everything I learned together and made yadaphone.com. I posted on every subreddit I could find, got blocked, reached out to blog owners, and told all my friends about it
This time it took off - 500 users in the first month, 1000 in the second - and now I have 10,000 people signed up, with over half of them paying
Takeaway: keep an eye out for popular websites / products / services that are shutting down.
Is there one you could replace? š¤
Bonus: I asked ChatGPT if there's a place to see a list of popular products that are due to be shut downā¦ nothing like that seems to exist.
How about building a website / newsletter / social account along those lines? š
SOFTWARE + SERVICE
"We Are Now Doing Over $2.4 Million a Year"
šblindgaming shares on Redditā¦
We have been using go high level for the last 2 years to scale our IT company and now have opened a marketing company as well based on ghl. In that time we are now doing over 2.4 million dollars a year in annual recurring revenue.
Doesn't say what niche they're focused on, but they operate with a software + service modelā¦
base software is $497 a month and that includes 24/7 support with all of our customizations and full build-outs. Our actual marketing packages with done for you services started $2,000 a month and can go up to $20,000 a month
And while High Level (aff link) is a powerful tool, he emphasizes that it only works if you leverage it to deliver good results for clients š
The only value that we have as agency owners is increasing the amount of customers a client acquires, increasing the profitability of those customers, or increasing the efficiency at which they can operate. If we cannot do these things we hold no value to the client
š¬ That's a sentiment echoed in another commentā¦
HighLevel is not a āmake money fastā tool. Itās a tool to help other businesses with marketing and ai.
Are people running very profitable agencies with HighLevel ? Yes. But just thinking you can get highlevel and easily make money is a great way to fail.
Find an industry with a huge gap / pain point in the world of marketing automation. Solve it. Charge well for the solution. Thatās what all service based businesses do.

TOGETHER WITH HIGHLEVEL
With High Level, you can deliver āquick winā marketing results for small businesses ā without needing a big team, fancy tech skills, or paid ads.
Hereās how š
Offer just a few valuable services ā like Google review automation, missed-call text-back, or appointment booking flows ā and you can charge clients $100ā$500/month (or even more) š
These are high-impact systems that local businesses need, but donāt know how to set up.
Even better, GHL gives you all the tools in one place:
ā
CRM
ā
Forms
ā
Email/SMS marketing
ā
AI automations
ā
Pipeline tracking
ā
And much more
You pay for a flat subscription ā then repackage those tools into simple, valuable offers šŖ
Plenty of people (like Jean-Michel here) are earning $10Kā$30K/month doing just that.
Normally, they only give a 14-day trial, but this link gives you a full 30-day trial to try it out risk-freeā¦
*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.
JAVASCRIPT LIBRARY
Simple Side Project = $300,000 in 3 Years
š¬ Sachin Neravath tweets about his side projectā¦
3 years ago, I started my indie hacking journey with a simple Javascript library and it crossed $300K in revenue.
The library is lightGalleryā¦
A lightweight, modular, JavaScript image and video lightbox gallery plugin.
š In terms of growthā¦
I don't do anything special for the distributions.
All the traffic comes from Google. So, I worked a bit on SEO and free tools. Thats it
Asked if he could go back 3 years and give himself one piece of advice, Sachin repliedā¦
Focus only on one main project
lightGallery looks good, but also fairly simple.
I'm amazed Sachin has made $300K from it, especially with one-time fees for licenses š¤Æ
I would have guessed there was no market for this 3 years ago, that a good solution already existed.
My takeaway: worth doing keyword research around your expertise and seeing if you can build something along those lines š

Staying Up Late To Work on My Businessā¦
RESELLING
Turning eBay Flips Into a $3,000/Month Side Hustle
š Altruistic_Wind9167 writesā¦
I started messing with eBay just to test the waters where I bought some electronics like mac books or watches and trading cards to see what would sell. I didnāt have a plan just curiosity and a few late nights spent looking into multiple listings.
I began to notice patterns. Certain categories like electronics and collectibles sold quicker and had better margins. I started tracking what sold best, improving my listing descriptions , and focusing more on things like PC laptops, video cards, and even menās shoes.
Once I found what was working the income became steady. It now brings in around $3k a monthā¦
That's $3000 per month after fees and shipping š¤
Says he spends 1-2 hours on the business most days, "sometimes more up to four if im sourcing or have lots to list."
Finding inventory consistently at least 15% cheaper than current listings is definitely the trickiest part especially at scaleā¦
Speed matters a lot. The best deals get sold up quickly. Being one of the first to spot undervalued listings makes a huge difference.
I usually source on ebay then resell back there or Amazon.

AGENCY

š For sale on Flippa for $600Kā¦
Reputable digital agency with strong revenue, high profit margin, and established in 2022. Ideal opportunity for growthā¦
Its services encompass the removal of negative Google and Yelp reviews, and even entire business profiles on these platforms, with pricing ranging from $99 to $3500ā¦
The pricing model is transparent, featuring flat fees and a 100% money-back guarantee if results aren't achieved within a specified timeframe.
More details š
Site Age: 3 years
Profit Margin: 94%
Monthly Profit: USD $26,804
And it sounds like they're not doing anything fancy to get reviews removedā¦
Core offerings include review auditing, reputation monitoring, and strategic drafting of removal requests complying with platform guidelines.
So mainly a matter of following best practices and jumping through the time-consuming admin hoops on behalf of clients š
Given the success of this business, there's clearly a demand for this kind of service.
Likely plenty of room for competition, or you could offer the exact same service for a specific niche and try to dominate there šŖ
