There's a gold mine marketing channel that everyone is ignoring.

I just discovered a way to exploit it.

Here's what it is, plus step by step instructions on how to copy me: The channel: Owning your own empire, or in this case, SubReddit.

Why?

You control what goes in and out. All the links you want, none of the links you don't. It works for any niche.

Here's how to do it:

Would you believe me if I told you there's a business out there that looks like this:

- Cash-based with 70% margins
- $200 to get started & simple to run
- Almost no barrier to entry or regulation
- Locations can bring in $1,500 - $2,500 in weekly profit

And also... Overhead costs? About $25 per day + labor (if hiring it out)

Long term leases? No
Leases of any sort? No
Handshake agreements? Usually

Top locations make $5k in a weekend.

Set up and take down in minutes.

Northern Kentucky is exploding right now.

There's an attraction generating millions of visitors per year and expanding like crazy.

So we're investing $5m in an asset 16 mins away. Here's what's up: Have you heard of the Ark Encounter? A life-sized depiction of Noah's Ark that cost $100m to build!

6 years after opening they had their 10 millionth visitor, and they get as many yearly guests as a 6 Flags.

They've since added a Creation Museum & plan to add...

What Sets It Apart:

I got monetized on YouTube 90 days ago today.

Here’s a breakdown of how much YouTube has paid me so far and how I got there: $5,003.16. Most of that in the last 4 weeks.

It took 5 months to get monetized. The secret sauce?

Using short form platforms to funnel all traffic to YT.

Learning the quirks of YT shorts.

Having a very short CTA in every short.

My 4 favorite business ideas based around spying on others:

1. A lightweight Zoom app that listens in on sales calls

It displays a meter on the person's screen showing what % of the time they spend talking vs listening. I call it "Shut Up" 😂

More listening = more sales! #2: 2. White label an existing software like Call Rail and re-sell it to home service providers as an agency service.

The software will listen in on calls and track missed calls so businesses can plug the gaps and make more money.

$3k/month service, easily. Sold to $5m+ businesses

I rarely start a business without running a scrape first, and I don't know how to code.

Scrape for customers, research, reviews, etc.

It changes EVERYTHING. These are my 4 favorite tools for this: For 1 flat monthly fee you can scrape millions of records and find out:

What tools a website is built with
All eCom sites by product category
All websites by keyword
Much more

Yes, you'll get contact info.

Scrape as much as you can for 1 month and then cancel.

If you want a MUCH cheaper option, check out the last tweet instead. And yes, this is an affiliate link, I've been using it for 5 years. builtwith.com/tkopod

Every 6 months, 21,000 people come from all over the world to gather in a remarkable piece of real estate.

Most have no idea how massive, one of a kind & record-breaking this unique building is.

Some mind-numbing facts 🤯: The building is for LDS church members to gather for "General Conference." Now for the crazy facts:

- There's a man-made waterfall inside that's fed from a natural creek, plus a 4 acre garden on the roof!

- It's 1.4 million square feet and only took 3 years to build

My friend "CJ" told me something shocking.

He's an executive for one of the big 4 airplane seat manufacturers.

He begged me to start a very specific business, because the wiring harness for seat back displays always break.

And guess how much his company pays for them?? You won't believe me, but I don't care.

$10k! For something that looks about like the below.

Any airplane vendor needs to be FAA certified with an airworthiness certification. This regulation creates somewhat of a moat.

His idea for me was to...

The 5 tweets below will be a new business for someone. Pinky promise.

Will it be you?

There are 44,000 print shops in the US, and the vast majority of owners spend way too much time doing 1 thing: Quoting custom print jobs over the phone.

I'm advising an owner right now that literally spends 4 hours per day quoting jobs over the phone...

...that a simple Wordpress widget could do for him.

So he got a quote to add a widget. Guess how much?

My college buddy had a tailgating monopoly & made 7 figures working** 7 days per year.

Below is how the biz worked. (Still viable today): Around the time Nick Saban arrived at Alabama, tailgating on "the quad" was a mess.

Students and families would stake their claim in the grass days before kickoff, because there was no better way.

There was no order to it, fights would often break out and it looked terrible.

I found an untapped home service niche. 1 competitor per 1 million residents.

But first, I'll show you how I evaluate a market's size and competitive landscape: - 70% of Americans own a grill, and there are 334m Americans

- There are 2.35 people per household, therefore, there are 142m households and about 100m households with a grill

This includes single family, apartments, mobile homes, etc.

Why grills?

This is my yard. Total trash.

I took a bunch of close up pics to upload to ChatGPT so it could give me a 12 month plan of what to do and buy in order to fix it.

Then I thought “I bet I could build an AI tool that monetizes this same prompt in an hour or two.”

& then I thought I could have it spit out everyone’s results as Webflow articles to capture some user-generated SEO.

“How to fix your (insert grass type) lawn in (city), (state).”

I could embed Amazon affiliate links on all the recommendations AND sell these leads to local companies. And then

Today I learned that people routinely make $5k - $15k per year simply by signing up for free bank bonuses.

Here's everything I learned about this life hack in 5 tweets: How and why it works, in a nutshell.

You're 1 cold email away from a life changing deal, customer or partnership

My cold emails have generated millions & gotten me meetings and/or responses from Cuban, McAfee & CEOs

Below is every cold emailing lesson & tactic I've learned over 16 years, for free: All of the tools I mention here are linked in the 1st comment below.

If you find any value here, please share with a friend or let me know below. Let's get into it:

COLD EMAILING:

We love it and we hate it. We love it because...

I've had my Tesla Model S for exactly 2 years (31k miles)

Here are my brutally honest opinions of why you SHOULD and SHOULD NOT buy one:
------
Should NOT:

1) You're driving a car that's still in beta. The software makes the car, & the software is still a work in progress. I bought the car for full self driving (FSD) & paid $10k for it. It still doesn't work great.

If it works as intended, it's convenient, if it doesn't, you die.

It still bugs out at certain spots, and I only use FSD on 8% of my mileage.

Alex made $5,000 per month doing these 2 things:

1. Posting free ads for garage shelves on FB Marketplace.

2. Building & delivering these on the weekend.

Then he quit his job, went all in and tripled his income.

What he did can be copied by ANYONE. Story time: Alex got this idea after seeing a video of these custom shelves on FB. He thought "Why not me?"

So he downloaded the plans, built a set for himself, and then posted his own ad.

$200 in materials
$770 for the shelf

$570 gross profit! But then what?

B2B stump grinding is a low risk, high reward business to start.

I talked about this idea last month on my podcast and one of my listeners traded in his car for a truck and took my exact advice.

Here's exactly what he did and how his first 15 days have gone: He's done $9k in revenue the first 15 days. This was the email he sent me 2 hours ago.

He's not sending me this email as a member of some high ticket mastermind I run. I don't know this guy. He just heard my podcast & took action.

How did he acquire his customers? Let's see

FYI: There's an underground industry out there called "cars for Door Dash." Here's how it works:

- Buy a "cheap" but reliable car for $7-$10k
- Properly insure it
- Rent it out for ~$400 per week on FB Marketplace to Door Dash drivers

But WHY does this work? 1. Door Dash doesn't have a policy that dictates how new or nice vehicles need to be.

They just need to be registered and insured. (Unlike basically every other service)

2. Many drivers have bad credit or are unable to afford...

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.

Here how you'll make your first 6 figures, with almost no startup costs:

High ticket lead gen.

Let's do roofing. Here's an actionable, step by step how to guide, with no sales pitch at the end

Step 1: Find a customer (continued below): I know what you're thinking:

"I don't even know what high ticket leadgen even means yet?"

It doesn't matter, you need a customer first. But to find a customer, you need to do some research first
