1. Business idea of the Week: Facebook Group Lead Gen Service For Local Businesses
Leads are the backbone of any business.
If you can’t generate leads that turn into customers, you don’t have a business.
But generating leads isn’t easy for most businesses, especially local business owners who aren’t savvy marketers.
So what if we could build a service that generates hot leads for local business owners, and makes us a lot of money doing so?
The idea: Generate leads for local businesses through local Facebook Groups.
This works by monitoring local Facebook groups for posts about people looking for a specific service.
These posts typically look like:
Does anyone know a good landscaping company?
Does anyone have a good mechanic they can recommend?
Your job is to find these posts, find the person posting them, and send the leads to your customers.
How to get started:
Join local Facebook groups where your target audience hangs out. These are your gold mines, and you should get familiar with them.
Start finding leads - look for posts asking for service recommendations that match the businesses you're targeting.
Find customers for your service. The best way to do this is to send a potential lead to a local business and pitch them on your service. “If I could bring you more leads like this every week, would you be opposed to signing up for my service?”
Monetization: Since it’s hard to guarantee new posts/leads every week, this service works best on a pay-per-lead structure. Charge a flat fee for each lead you send their way. Prices can range from $99-$199 per lead, depending on the service and the potential value it brings to the business.
Scaling: Once you’ve got a few customers, and proven you can generate consistent leads, you can scale this by hiring a VA that can constantly monitor the groups for you.
And once the system is running with the VA, you can scale to other locations!
And that’s a wrap!

3. Business ideas from Twitter & Reddit
I spent an hour scrolling Twitter trying to find business ideas.
And in honor of Reddit’s IPO this week, I spent another hour searching through Reddit as well.
Here’s a few I found. 👇
This could be a cool side hustle that could turn into a legit business.
Similar to the Done-For-You Beach Day Business I wrote about a few months back.
You set up their entire picnic/beach day for them → they pay you a good amount to do so.
Marketing your service would be the most important part of this, and local social media would probably be your best bet.
If you weren’t aware, the Ultra Miami Music Festival took place this past weekend, and it got hit by some heavy rain.
I love gorilla marketing tactics like these, and hope someone did this.
Better yet, sell this as a service, and get another business to pay you to make/distribute the ponchos with their logo and QR code on it.
When opportunity strikes, you gotta be ready.
Squatter laws in America are absurd.
In many states, a squatter can move into your home and then it takes months or years to go through a legal battle to get them out.
What if you could just hire someone to squat the squatters?
This is a joke, but I also want to see this happen. 😂
