1. Business idea of the Week: A Reddit Validation Service.
Reddit is a goldmine for finding users and customers.
Thereās millions of people on the platform talking about their problems, and all you need to do is provide them with a solution.
But thereās two big problems with using Reddit to find users.
It takes a lot of time to find search through the platform and write posts.
You canāt just post links or promote your products, or youāll get banned from the subreddit.
Soā¦ whatās the solution to these problems?
The idea: A Reddit validation service.
This service would help business owners generate free traffic from Reddit, without having to make the posts themselves.
Letās use this newsletter as an example. If I wanted to find new subscribers, I could search for Reddit posts where people are asking about side hustle ideas.
But the key is to make the comment *not* look like a promotion.
So, if someone posted: ālooking for side hustle ideas. Any recommendations?ā
ā āSubscribe to my newsletter for new side hustle ideas!ā
ā
āHereās 2 you can start for $0 {insert 2 side hustle ideas}ā¦ btw, I got these from this newsletterā
The first one looks like a promo, but the second looks like youāre actually trying to provide value and naturally includes a link to where you found them.
This can generate great traffic, but it takes time, and thatās what this service will solve for biz owners.
When it comes to charging for this service, thereās two options you can think about:
Pay per post: Pay a flat rate for a minimum number of posts per day. For example, you could charge $15 per day, and include a minimum of 5 quality comments every day. Just send them the links to the posts at the end of each day.
Pay per result: Only charge for the leads/users you send them. For example, you could charge a newsletter $2 per subscriber that you send them from one of your Reddit posts.

3. Twitter Business Ideas
Twitter is a goldmine for business ideas.
So, every week I spend hours scrolling Twitter to find the coolest ideas and start-up opportunities.
And then I drop them here. For you, my friends.
Letās take a look.š
If youāre a fellow meme-er, you know the struggle.
Constantly searching for new meme templates, and relying on websites with outdated memes. I would pay for a service like this (if it was good).
If you want to build this, let me know. I want in.
Any business that can take advantage of a trend will have a better chance of success.
And there will always be a market for antiques.
If youāre already into (or interested in) antiques, this could be a good one for you.
This is a treasure chest of start up ideas.
Iāve heard rumors that Google will kill products with $100ās of millions in revenue because theyāre ānot big enoughā.
