GHOSTWRITING

$1-5K/Month Per Client (Started While Living in Her Car)

By summer 2020, Kit Huffman was 22, living out of a 2005 Subaru Forester in Jackson Hole, and writing LinkedIn posts on the side for coaches and solopreneurs.

A typical day for Kit πŸ‘‡

I'd wake up in the Bridger-Teton National Forest nine long miles from town, set up shop at a supermarket Starbucks (easier to bum the free wifi), bathe with biodegradable soap in a glacial runoff river, and consume an unbalanced diet of canned kidney beans, plastic-packaged sushi, and warm White Claws.

Then an agency cold-emailed her about a ghostwriting gig…

My assignment: Write four LinkedIn posts for the CEO of a large, global bank. The pay was $1,000 a month…

They didn't know I was a dyslexic 22-year-old without a college degree who was living out of her car, but they also never asked.

She started "cosplaying CEOs" πŸ‘€

Five years later, she sold the Subaru, moved to NYC, and launched a personal-brand agency for execs πŸ’ͺ

Solo LinkedIn ghostwriters charge $1K to $5K+ per client/month.

Stack 3 clients and that's $3K–$15K/month from your kitchen table πŸ€‘

Pick a niche where you have credibility, DM execs with sample posts in their voice, and start cosplaying 😎

PASSIVE INCOME

His Junk Shed Quietly Pays $130/Month

Spotted on Reddit, from a guy who turned his junk shed into quiet rent money πŸ‘‡

I have a detached shed that was basically a graveyard for old tools and a broken treadmill.

A coworker tipped him off about platforms (almost certainly Neighbor.com) for listing extra space. He signed up last August πŸš€

First booking came within like 10 days, a guy needed somewhere to store his jet ski going into fall. He ended up staying through the whole winter and is still there now lol.

He cleared out a second corner and listed that separately too. 8 months in...

I'm pulling around $115 to $130/month consistently... that's over $1,000 in the account basically doing nothing, came in clutch... when my car needed a repair in February.

$1,000+ banked. Doing almost nothing. πŸ€‘

He checks the app maybe once a week before bed. That's it.

Genuinely the most unsexy passive income thing I've ever done but it just runs quietly in the background.

Other hosts in the thread report earnings from $28/mo (small shed) to $3,500/mo (acreage with RVs).

Got a shed, garage corner, basement, or driveway gathering dust?

Could be your key to some sweet passive income 😎

TOGETHER WITH MASTERWORKS

Investors see ANOTHER return from Masterworks (!!!!)

That’s 6 sales in 7 months. 29 all time. And the performance?

16.5%, 17.6%, and 17.8%, net annualized returns on sold works held longer than one year (See all 29 at Masterworks.com)

It’s not from stocks, private equity, or real estate… it’s from contemporary and post war art. Crazy, right?

With Masterworks, you don’t need to be a BILLIONAIRE to invest in multi-million dollar art anymore.

Historically, the segment overall has had attractive appreciation and low correlation to stocks.*

Masterworks targets works featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso, identifying what they believe to have significant long-term appreciation potential, not just at the artist level but at the level of individual artworks.

As one of the largest players in the art market, with $1.3 billion invested over 500 artworks, they pass critical advantages through to their 70,000+ members to add art to their portfolios strategically.

Looking to diversify your investments in 2026?

*According to Masterworks data. Investing involves risk. Past performance is not indicative of future returns. See important Reg A disclosures at masterworks.com/cd.

AI AGENCY

AI Wrote His Last Viral Video (175K+ Views)

πŸ“ Ritesh Verma writes about a system he calls his Content OS…

With Claude Code being as amazing as it is, I have been able to create small (kinda weird) AI systems that act like real humans and do work even better than humans! I even was able to fire my creative director for youtube!

Here's how it works πŸ‘‡

He fed Claude Code 20 of his best handwritten YouTube scripts and tinkered until it could mimic his voice with 92% accuracy πŸ€–

Then he hooked it up to a browser so it could research ideas across YouTube, X, LinkedIn, and Reddit.

Scripting time dropped from 2 hours to 20 minutes per video.

The first video the system fully ideated, researched, and scripted: 175K+ views and counting πŸ€―

Ritesh runs an agency that builds AI "employees" for clients, and his Content OS is essentially a live demo for one of their products.

You could carve out a similar lane – build Content OS setups for YouTubers, podcasters, or LinkedIn ghostwriters who don't want to DIY.

Or think broader: for any niche, there's a version of this waiting to be built 😎
