Hey, it's Niall πŸ‘‹

A friend of mine just used AI to write a full sales email sequence.

The results were wild:

Six emails, seven days, roughly $90k in revenue.

I barely edited the copy.

$90k in a single week πŸ€‘

Which makes sense when you hear how he talks about it:

80% of my work is done with Claude now.

It's like having superpowers.

Couldn't agree more.

Claude has become the first thing I open every day.

Think actual work partner, not search engine.

But here's the thing – most people who try it use it like a fancy Google. They poke around for a week and move on.

The ones pulling ahead figured out how to actually work with it.

That's a learnable skill. Grab the free guide below – it walks you through exactly that πŸ‘‡

Then keep scrolling for a fresh batch of business ideas.

AI SIDE HUSTLE

$1.2K/Month From a Cold Message to an Insurance Agent

Tricky_Mentiong writes about a side hustle he didn't see coming πŸ‘‡

I started talking to insurance agents and kept hearing the same thing. Leads going cold, follow ups getting forgotten, emails piling up.

So he reached out and offered to build an AI fix for one of them πŸ’ͺ

Built automated responses, follow up sequences, scheduling. All running without him touching it.

He noticed the difference fast and so did his numbers. That one agent is $1.2k a month for me.

One client. $1.2K/month. Recurring. πŸ€‘

AI does the heavy lifting – replies, scoring, scheduling, all automated.

The opportunity goes way beyond insurance. A commenter nailed it…

This is the exact same problem in basically every service business, not just insurance. Consultants, agencies, freelancers, accountants…

I've seen solo consultants lose 5-10x that in missed revenue from leads that just needed a second email at the right time.

Pick a niche – mortgage brokers, accountants, HVAC contractors – cold message 20 local operators and pitch a hands-off AI follow-up system 😎

BORING BUSINESS

This Printing Business Pays $800 Per Job (99% Margins)

James Wells first saw a wall-printing machine while scrolling his phone.

Think giant inkjet on rails. Roll it to a client's spot, upload an image, and it prints photo-quality murals directly onto the wall.

The margins are wild…

A 5 by 8 ft wall costs you $8 in ink and you can sell that for about $800.

James didn't wait around. He walked into an architecture firm in Virginia – before he even owned a machine – and showed them a demo video.

The architect's reaction πŸ‘‡

Where the hell have you been for the last 10 years?

He borrowed money, bought the printer, and landed James Madison University as his first client.

A university official saw his work and said…

I don't care what your prices are if you print it on the wall.

Why? Once it's printed, students can't peel it off – unlike vinyl or posters.

That one anchor client turned into a five-figure contract πŸ€‘

No warehouse needed. No retail space. The machine fits in your garage.

Print a few walls for free, film the time-lapses, and let social media do the selling 😎

SIDE HUSTLE

Sold Her 1-Hour-Per-Day Membership Site for 7 Figures

Anna Maste and her mom built Boondockers Welcome – Couchsurfing, but for RVers.

Guests paid $30/year to find hosts offering free overnight RV parking on private land.

Anna built the first version with no web dev experience – she taught herself...

It was just, here's something fun for me to do that keeps my brain sharp while I'm on maternity leave or I can play with in evenings after the kids go to bed.

For years she ran it on just 7 hours a week πŸ’ͺ

It was definitely slow moving. There was no rocket ship growth... But we were gaining traction bit by bit. And that was enough.

By 2021, the site had 12,000 members and 2,900 hosts across North America πŸ‘€

Then Harvest Hosts – a competitor flush with $37M in funding – came knocking, resulting in a mid-7-figure sale. 85% cash upfront πŸ€‘

This was essentially a niche paid directory, members happy to pay for info that wasn't easily Googleable.

Same model could work for...

  • Fishing spots

  • EV charging on private driveways (Boondockers for EVs)

  • Scenic picnic spots

  • Etc.

Pick a niche, curate the data, charge $50-80/year πŸ’°
