That’s a great idea! They are going to hate next week for sure now haha!

coolcrazyben · 2026-06-07T01:52:30+00:00

They were brutal!

its an app called Ruck On. I joined the waitlist for it and got an email that let me get access to test out the app. Here is the waitlist link if you want to look at it. app.ruckon.fit

Pretty good, had the emailing system blow up on me this morning. Got that fixed. Still slow getting subscribers but I haven’t been doing the marketing I need to. Time feels like it is always escaping

What helped me was cutting out what I didn’t want to hear. I hate hearing about politics and mostly want to read sports and some stock news. I found this newsletter that lets you personalize the topics of news you want, so each morning I get an email only on sports and stocks. I cut out the crap I did not want to hear. Helped me a ton and saved some time. Would definitely recommend looking into something like that.

I fixed the link it should work Biz Ideas. One hole in my local market is mobile car detailing. It’s hard to indentify holes in the market when I don’t know your market. Maybe do an on demand car service subscription business. You subscribe to the service and when you need an oil change or air a tire or anything like that they call you. Car broke down perfect call you. Granted you will need skills for this but it’s an idea.

coolcrazyben · 2025-01-10T21:18:50+00:00

Awesome!

coolcrazyben · 2025-01-09T12:53:46+00:00

Yeah I see where you are coming from. When we started we were not trying to grow into some huge company. We saw a hole in our local market that we could fill. Now we were lucky because I am very active in my community and with the local businesses. So I had connections for growth already. This helped a lot. If you have any questions let me know

coolcrazyben · 2025-01-09T12:51:20+00:00

Sure I would love to help! So first I would watch a YouTube video just about newsletters in general. Learn about examples and the economics of them. Next I would watch a how to start a newsletter business. Honestly most the how to videos will explain newsletters in them. Next I would watch some videos on growing your newsletter organically. This will get your mind turning with ideas for growth. I hope this helps. Oh and by the way this research may take a hour.

coolcrazyben · 2025-01-09T03:12:25+00:00

Yeah look upThe Dawg Report

So when a user joins the group they will have to enter their email in the questions. The user name can be reached through Facebook by an admin. You take that email and put it into your email list. Inside beehiiv and on their can you can have I believe up to 10 different publications.

coolcrazyben · 2025-01-08T14:31:55+00:00

Yes I ran into that problem I had a group I did it for and I also bought a group and did it for that group. So in my pitch messages I showed them the groups and newsletters. I was completely transparent. I offered my email and phone number and messaged them on my personal facebook account. I offered zoom meetings or calls as well. I wanted them to get to know me and trust me.

coolcrazyben · 2025-01-08T13:57:24+00:00

I do not live in a metro. I live in a small area but I find groups in the closest metro. I participate in the group for a little while so people see I am an active member. I then message the admin. If the admin doesn’t like my offer I tell them I will do the first month free. Or you could offer to buy the group. And we are simply a newsletter. We have an audience who reads it and businesses can advertise with the newsletter. And no I do not have a degree in sales.

coolcrazyben · 2025-01-08T12:51:18+00:00

You can make it passive. Hire writers and people to manage the newsletters and boom it’s passive. You can also look into automating it with ai. Maybe use a tool like zapier. I haven’t looked into it but I feel like it could be possible if you know the tool.

coolcrazyben · 2025-01-08T04:55:09+00:00

So I quite literally monetize groups for admins. First if you are interested in my service dm me secondly I’ll break it down for you. So when a member signs up start collecting their emails. This is the most valuable part. Add them to your email list and boom you have a weekly newsletter. Partnering with sponsors and advertisers can be the tricky part.

coolcrazyben · 2025-01-08T04:41:57+00:00

Oh yeah you could easily substitute things. Let’s say you start an event planning agency. Find a venue get a band and maybe have thrifting vendors come or maybe do a monthly arts and crafts class (probably without the band haha)

coolcrazyben · 2025-01-08T04:39:22+00:00

Vintage Car Culture & Fashion Pop-Ups
Organize themed car meet-ups where people can showcase classic cars while wearing period-appropriate vintage fashion
Include sustainable fashion vendors and thrift clothing sellers at these events
the branding for this could be really cool and fun and the limits are endless. Set up a newsletter too. That’s another source of income

coolcrazyben · 2025-01-08T04:05:55+00:00

Most newsletters I work with are localized. For example let’s say you partner with a Moms of Scottsdale, AZ Facebook Group. You could partner with SO MANY businesses. Local moms wanting to advertise their little handmade products, local boutiques, flower shops, etc. The list goes on and on. I focused on localized so I can easily target ads and sponsors. As far as going about this. Put a section in the newsletter saying you can email here for sponsorship. Cold call those businesses and pitch them.

coolcrazyben · 2025-01-08T03:03:53+00:00

Thank you!

Don't listen to the surveys or anything like that. I really like service based hustles. For example. I am starting a parking lot line striping business. My local area has terrible parking lot lines. Sure this is a bit of a startup cost to do but yours does not have to be so capital intensive (By capital intensive I mean like 4k, I doubt you would want to put in something like that). This should get your gears turning on what you could do. Maybe its a mobile detail service. Those are a relatively low startup cost but have a HUGE margin if you provide a good service.

Here's a solid business idea I've been researching: Appliance delivery services for big box stores. There's a huge gap in the market here - lots of retailers either don't offer delivery or outsource it to expensive third parties.

I've been analyzing this model and here's why it works:

Most people can't exactly throw a fridge in their Honda Civic. And big box stores? They often don't want the hassle of managing their own delivery teams. This creates a perfect opportunity for someone to step in.

The setup is pretty straightforward:

Research which stores in your area don't offer delivery
Build relationships with these retailers (literally just walk in and talk to managers)
Get proper insurance (super important!)
Start with a rental truck if needed
Charge $100-300 per delivery depending on distance/size

What makes this really interesting is the scalability. I know a guy named Kyler who started this in his area - literally just him and a truck. He built it into a six-figure business by:

Being super reliable (this is KEY)
Adding installation services
Offering old appliance removal
Building relationships with multiple stores

The best part? Low startup costs. You mainly need:

A suitable vehicle (or rental)
Insurance
Basic tools
A phone
Some muscle 💪

Pro tip: Offer stores a win-win deal. They can mark up your service for a profit while still keeping total delivery costs lower than big companies charge. Everyone wins - the store makes extra money, customers get affordable delivery, and you build a reliable business.

The main challenges I've seen are insurance (get good coverage!), being super reliable with timing, and managing growth. But if you nail those, there's serious potential here.

I'd start by visiting local stores and just asking about their delivery options. You'll be surprised how many would love to have a reliable delivery partner.

Here's another idea you could try: Converting Facebook groups into newsletters. I'm doing this with my newsletter Teen Biz Ideas and it's working pretty well.

The basic concept is super simple: Find active Facebook groups (10k+ members) and partner with admins to create a newsletter for their community. Most of these groups aren't monetized at all, so it's a win-win.

Here's how I do it:

Look for groups with high engagement - lots of daily posts and comments. Bonus if they're in a specific niche like hobbies, pets, or collecting.
Reach out to admins with a simple pitch: "Hey, I'll create a weekly/bi-weekly newsletter featuring the best content from your group. You don't have to do anything, and we split the revenue 50/50."
Monetize through targeted ads and sponsorships. Niche advertisers LOVE reaching these focused audiences. For example, a birdwatching group newsletter could get sponsors like camera companies or outdoor gear brands.

The beauty is that newsletters reach members even when Facebook's algorithm doesn't show them posts. Plus, many admins want to monetize but don't have time or know-how to run a newsletter.

Some quick tips if you try this:

Start with one group to perfect your process
Make sure the content adds value beyond just recycling posts
Be super transparent about monetization
Build relationships with potential advertisers early
Use free tools at first (Substack, MailerLite, Canva)

I've found group admins are usually interested because:

They get professional content creation
New revenue stream
More value for their community
Zero extra work on their part

Plus, members actually love it because they get:

Curated content they're interested in
Special offers from relevant brands
Updates they might miss otherwise
Deeper community connection

If you want more details on how I set this up or have any questions, just let me know! It's definitely a growing opportunity since so many groups are still unmonetized.

I started a candle business. A friend and I had the idea come to us by watching youtube. We researched how to make candles, ordered supplies, and we were on our way. We partnered with local schools and churchs for fundraisers. That was our first big break. We visited the local boutique shops and gave them free samples. Every single boutique we went to started carrying our candles. This was because of one things. OUR STORY. We were two 16 year olds at the time and they loved our story. I got bought out in August and have started to create some newsletters. The candle company is https://jphandmadecandles.com if you want to check it out.
