🧠 3 Ideas on Sunday - Dec. 19th

1. TIME Magazine Person on the Year: Elon Musk

This past Monday, TIME magazine announced Elon Musk, aka the ā€œKing of Twitterā€, ā€œDoge Coin evangelistā€, ā€œChief Meme Officerā€, as the 2021 person of the year. In honor of Elon’s great recognition, I thought it would be appropriate to look back on my favorite Elon Tweets from 2021:

1. ā€œSenator Karenā€ šŸ˜‚

2. Elon: 1 - Bernie: 0

3. Simple Math


2. Stop waiting until you get ā€œthereā€ to be Happy

Something many people struggle with (myself included), is the idea of ā€œonce I reach this goal, I’ll finally be happyā€. Whether it be ā€œonce I make a million dollarsā€ or ā€œonce I get this job titleā€. The reality is that once you finally get to the goal, you won’t be happy if you’re not happy in the pursuit of the goal.

Dr. Ben-Shahar has coined the term ā€œarrival fallacyā€ for this feeling of ā€œonce we make it or reach our goal, we will reach lasting happiness.ā€

In this 1988 Harvard Study, 2 groups of College professors were tested for their happiness levels. The 1st group had been granted Tenure (a prestigious status), and the 2nd group had been denied Tenure. The results showed that the happiness levels of both groups were almost identical, despite one group not reaching their goal of Tenure.

In short, learn to enjoy the process and don’t pin your happiness on a specific goal, and you will have a much happier life.


3. Here’s 3 Businesses you can start today with $0

I recently put out a thread on Twitter with 3 business ideas you can start immediately with literally $0. These are all businesses I had tried (or done something very similar), and I know they can generate cash with a little sweat equity. So here they are:

1. Niche Instagram Account

  • Pick a niche (watches, drones, cars etc)

  • Create a clean looking instagram name (avoid .’s or _’s in the name)

  • Follow 200+ accounts and hashtags in your niche to find viral content

  • Repost viral content 2-3x per day, and use relevant hashtags

  • Follow accounts that like or interact with other accounts content in your niche. Unfollow them if they don’t follow you back within 3 days. This should get you to 1,000+ followers.

  • Once you get to get 5,000+ followers you can sell shoutouts on your page, or sell the account on a site like fameswap.com

2. Amazon Print on Demand

  • Sign up for a Merch by Amazon account at merch.amazon.com

  • Upload artwork for t-shirts (use viral/trending topics or sayings)

  • Select shirt color & price, and Amazon does the rest

  • Post on Pinterest and other social media platforms for free advertising

  • Every time someone buys a shirt, you get a % of the sale!

3. Substack Newsletter (like this one)

  • Sign up for a Substack Account

  • Pick a niche or topic to focus on, and a content schedule. (ex. every Wednesday)

  • Write about current events or use a site like answerthepublic.com for content ideas.

  • Spread the word and get friends & family to subscribe

  • Once you reach 1,000+ subscribers you can upsell a % of your subscribers to a paid/premium subscription or sell ad space in your newsletters.

  • Here’s 2 Newsletters that sold for Millions: Morning Brew & The Hustle

Thanks for reading! If you liked this one, please forward to a friend.

Amazon Print on Demand is a great idea..I reside in India and discovered a similar service for Indians (Blinkstore) (https://blinkstore.in/) but I can't come up with anything catchy or trendy enough that would allow me to earn from this side hustle! :D
