1. Business idea of the Week: Celebrity Website
This week I listened to an old episode of My First Million, and heard an idea I can’t stop thinking about.
Steph Smith brought up the fact that most celebrity websites suck.
They’re either non-existent, or look like they haven’t been touched in years.
Most celebrities focus on building their Instagram pages or other social media accounts, but ignore the actual website they own.
Steph talked about starting an agency that builds celebrity websites, but that sounds hard to me.
So how can we get started on this without getting a celebrity customer?
The idea: Build celebrity fan page websites.
These websites would include things like their Instagram feed, biography, upcoming shows/movies/events they’ll be in.
The goal is to rank in the top 3 search results for any search about that person, so you’ll need to make webpages catered to common searches like their net worth, significant others, career records, etc.
Similar to CelebrityNetWorth.com, these websites can gain a ton of traffic and users.
Once you get some decent traffic, you can think about monetization in a few ways:
Go directly to the celeb: Once you’ve got some good traffic, you can reach out directly to the celebrity and try to sell them the website, or work out a deal to turn the website into their official website. If you can get one celebrity customer, you can leverage them to get another one.
Affiliate: Find opportunities to become an affiliate for products they promote, or their official merch.
Adsense: Like any blog with a lot of traffic, you can turn on Adsense to start collecting ad money from Google.
There’s a lot of different ways you can take this idea.
And when it comes to the celebrities you choose to make the website for, there’s a lot of ways to think about it.
You can build sites for underground celebrities or artists that you think are on the come up, or go after mega stars that have really bad websites.
With the help of AI, you can pump a ton of these websites out quickly and give yourself a better chance of getting a ton of traffic.
And that’s a wrap!

3. Business ideas from Twitter
I spent an hour scrolling Twitter trying to find business ideas.
Here’s a few I found. 👇
This is simple, but probably not easy.
This is a great way to try to automate a podcast in a short amount of time, but growing a podcast is tough.
If you’re trying to start a podcast, try out this workflow.
Build an AI assistant that is really good at one thing and sell it to people that make good money.
Again, this is somewhat straight forward, but not easy.
There’s already a ton of companies doing this, so it would be important to pick a valuable but un-satruated target customer.
This isn’t a new business idea, but could be a great side hustle.
It’s like starting an Airbnb business, but with cars.
It will definently come with a lot of headaches, but so does any good business. f
Love the celebrity fan page idea! Some are probably so saturated already but there are probably so many untapped options out there.
