I revisit this incredible Reddit post every month or so.
Below are my 8 favorite answers of boring and unique businesses that print money:
Specialized concrete hole cutting and X-rays.
The higher the percentage of people that never knew this business existed = the higher probability that this business needs more competitors.
Mailbox replacement services.
Your customers are freely advertising themselves out by the road.
A couple organic FB Marketplace posts per week should keep you busy.
$1.5m per month of aquarium sales.
Compliance paperwork for large chemical companies.
Livestock transport
Providing washers and dryers to apartments for "free."
They get paid by keeping all the quarters.
Selling clean water in a rural area with unsafe drinking water.
$6m per year from importing O-rings with no employees.
Below is the exact post if you'd like to read for yourself.
