The Startup Ideas Podcast · Startup ideas brainstorm (steal this $100k/month idea) · 10 Jun 2024 podcast

It's a no-brainer. Oh, and by the way, I think that this is easily $100,000 a month business once the SEO starts to kick in. Hey, everyone. If you're anything like me, you've got a ton of design work that you need. Websites, landing pages, emails, social assets, you name it. But you don't just want beautiful landing pages or beautiful websites. You want the stuff that's going to convert.

You want the stuff that's going to actually drive value. That's where DesignScientist.com comes in. it's an agency that for one monthly price will do all your design work all your copy work all your engineering and do stuff that actually scales your revenue you don't need a designer you need a design scientist let's go designscientist.com i liked it so much i invested in the business

I did a live stream where I took people's ideas for startups and we just jammed on it and I gave them feedback. I want to give a few people, just talk about their ideas and tell you what I think about them. Now these are just ideas from people like you listening. So Some are good, some are bad. And I'll tell you why they're good, why they're bad, and what I think of them.

Matthew M underscore underscore Sandys on Instagram says, this idea is like the rewarding exercise idea, but for gaming. I think he's talking about the sweat coin. So you basically, for the amount of steps that you do, they would give you a coin and pay you basically. So he says, here's the idea. You link your gaming account, Steam account for the MVP, and you earn tokens for your hours played.

And then you could spend those tokens on affiliate products, offers, could partner with gaming brands and even streamers to enable their viewers to get exclusive access to products via the platform. Now, I love the idea of hooking into your Steam data, which has literally hundreds of millions of users,

Because I don't think a lot of people are hooking into that data and based on it giving you rewards. Now, we all know about credit card rewards. There's a company called Drop. A friend of mine started it. JoinDrop.com. I think he raised like $50 or $75 million.

he basically created an app called Drop and you link your debit and credit card to it and then you get these points, additional points, and then you can spend those points at Amazon or Walmart or Old Navy. He did deals with all these different e-commerce websites. I don't know if they sell the data or how that works. But 5 million people have downloaded the app, so it's the real deal.

So yes, I think a drop but for Steam is a huge, huge idea. But I'm not sure I would build it on top of Web3 Rails to start, because I don't think it really needs to be. So I would say someone should build something that rewards gamers for what's their kill-death ratio? How many hours have they played? Are they having a streak? Have they logged in every single day?

And I think the thing to check here is, is it Steam? Is it Activision? Is this data available? But I do think that there's a huge business to be built on loyalty plus gaming. So that's a good one. All right. This guy messaged me. His Instagram is Carne Shabu. That's the name of his business. I'm working on a grass-fed Wagyu beef fried meat snack. We're targeting mostly women.

So think of it like carnivore snacks for women. So then I go to his Instagram. Well, first of all, I go to the Instagram. I just assume it was a woman who was messaging me. And then I... It's like... Not at all. He says he's targeting women and it's this white guy with a hat and a big beard eating meat. It's the complete opposite.

Yes, he is wearing a pink hat in one of them, but this dude is a male. I like the idea of taking something that women do and bring it to men. Women wear makeup. Men's makeup is a trend that's only getting bigger. You can just go through the list of things that are popular for women and see if that makes sense for men and vice versa.

What's something that's become popular for men or is popular for men and what can you bring to women? Now, if you're going to do that, you got to make sure that it's authentic. Because I think anyone who's going to go to this Instagram, if you're a woman, you're going to be like, just because you're wearing a pink hat doesn't mean it's connecting with me. So I like the idea of this.

I just think that if I was him... I would work with a creator and I wouldn't be seen at all in front of the camera. I don't think that he's the right creator. It just doesn't have creator product market fit. And that's something for you to think about is when you're building your business, because every business now is a creator business, are you the right creator for it or should someone else be?

And being honest with that is really important. Now, I want you to think about what are some typically male products or typically female products, and can you bring it to the other gender? Because I think that framework for thinking about startup ideas is a winning one.

And I think what I often do is, if I come up with an idea, let's say makeup for men, that's quite an obvious one, but something like that. Then I go to Google Trends, and then I'll go to see, okay, where has makeup for men... Where has that gone in terms of trends of the last 12, 18, five years? 12, 18 months, five years.

So it's good to come up with the theses and then double check it with the data. And the other sort of bonus idea to this is what you could do is you can find something that starts to be trending for women, let's say, and then bring it to men. So you don't have to... Something that's very new and then bring it to men.

And again, it doesn't need to be positioned exactly this is for men or this is for women, but just from a creator standpoint, a branding perspective, a positioning perspective, a messaging perspective. Another idea would be a candle company for men. Candles are getting more and more popular. Is there an opportunity to create the de facto men's candle company? All right, let's go to the next idea.

We're on a roll here. Yash Bardwaj says, Ultra niche idea. There's a website called whatplug.info which tells you the plugs and adapters you need when you are traveling to a new city. But their UI was made like 10 years back. So... This is one of those ideas that I want to be a part. I wish that this existed on the internet, but I don't want to be the person to build it.

Now, if you're not worried about money and you're not worried about growing your business and you just want to put this out on the internet and you want it to be a utility of the internet, not a business of the internet, a utility of the internet, then go ahead and create this. And sometimes I do that and I love doing that sometimes. But you have to realize that this is not a business.

It's not a business because there's no business model here. Okay, if you get 25,000 people a month to come or 100,000, best case to come and check out this website with the plugs and adapters you need when you're traveling to a new city, which you, by the way, probably know most of the time anyways. What's next? You're going to put Google Ads, AdSense there?
