Hey, it's Niall 👋

Here's something most investors don't want to admit: they have no idea how their portfolio is actually performing.

Not because they don't care.

Because their investments are spread across three different brokers, a pension account, a few ETFs, and maybe a stock-picking app they downloaded two years ago.

Getting a clear picture means logging into five different places and doing mental math that never quite adds up. 😵‍💫

That's a solvable problem.

A good portfolio tracker pulls everything into one dashboard – showing your real performance, income, and allocation.

You stop guessing and start actually understanding what you own.

If that sounds useful, check out the tool below for free 👇

BORING BUSINESS

$250 Per Hour Handling Construction Permits

Jim Lashbaugh is a retired firefighter who spent years renovating houses on the side.

One thing he got annoyingly good at: building permits.

After retiring, a friend asked him to handle one. Then a stranger called.

From a recent interview…

That first client paid $500. Jim had no website, no credentials, and the client never even asked 👀

Contractors hate permits. It's slow, full of red tape, and pulls them away from actual building. In Portland, the average permit takes 9 months. Jim gets them done in 4 to 5.

🤑 He started at $1,250/permit. Now charges $1,750 – works out to $250 to $300/hr. Made ~$40K last year.

Zero ad spend. 100% word of mouth 👇

No credentials required. Not one client has ever asked.

Every industry has painful paperwork people would pay to avoid. Permits, liquor licenses, zoning applications…

Find the one you already understand – or can get to grips with quickly – and build a business around it 😎

AI MARKETING

The 1-Person Marketing Team of a $380 Billion Company

Austin is not a developer.

He's a marketer. And for 10 months, he was the only person running paid ads, email marketing, app store optimization, and SEO at Anthropic – the $380B company behind the AI tool Claude.

💬 He confirmed it himself…

How? He built a system where AI does most of the heavy lifting 🤖

• He exports all his ad performance data into a spreadsheet

• Feeds it to an AI tool, which spots the underperforming ads

• The AI then generates hundreds of new headlines and descriptions, each tailored to specific character limits

But he still needed the actual images and banners. So he built a plugin (with help from AI, most likely) for his design tool that automatically swaps new copy into ad templates.

Result: 100 ready-to-publish ad variations in half a second. What used to take 2 hours now takes 15 minutes 🤯

He also set up a way to ask his AI questions about live campaign data – things like "which ads had the best conversion rate this week?" or "where am I wasting money?" – without ever opening an ads dashboard.

The best part: the system remembers what worked and what didn't. So every new batch of ads builds on everything that came before. It gets smarter each cycle.

One person. Doing all of it.

If you've got marketing chops, this is a glimpse of what's now possible. You could offer this kind of AI-powered ad management as a service – one person delivering the output of an entire team 🔥

FACEBOOK PAGES

Up To $35K/Month Adding Commentary to Viral Videos on Facebook

Chris Koerner was making $10K–$35K/month in profit on Facebook. The whole operation took about 3 hours a week 🤯

He recently shared…

He finds viral videos on Instagram, then records green screen commentary over them using CapCut – his own insights, analysis, and suggestions.

Chris argues it counts as fair use, and Facebook pays creators for it through their ad revenue sharing program.

His niche is business and finance, where he earned about $0.25 per 1,000 views 👇

Then came the plot twist. 😬

In January 2026, Chris posted a YouTube video explaining the whole strategy. It went viral – 520K views, 19K likes.

A month later...

The opportunity is still there though. Facebook has 2.1 billion daily users but not enough creators – so they pay people to fill the gap. Chris just drew too much attention to himself.

Pick a niche you know something about, add your own take to viral clips, and let Facebook's ad revenue do the rest. Just don't forget who controls the off switch 🤞
