So how would I do this? How would I actually go and create something like this if I wanted to go build a startup? Step one, you use AI to create content. Step two is that just creates this SEO juice. Then step three is you monetize initially by affiliate. And that's the playbook. That's the idea. I hope someone takes it. It's a no-brainer.
Oh, and by the way, I think that this is easily $100,000 a month business. Hello, everybody. It's me, Greg Eisenberg. I'm doing a solo podcast today from my home in the mountains of Canada. And I've got a lot of ideas today, but there's one in particular I want to share. And I hope someone takes this idea.
And then towards the end of the episode, I will share four or five ideas that people have sent to me And hopefully it'll get your creative juices flowing. So let's get right into it. I came across an article about microplastics recently. I didn't know this, but tea bags have billions of microplastics in them. So it's not just water bottles and stuff like that.
And this whole microplastics thing is... Everyone's talking about it. And apparently they found that some huge percentage of men have microplastics in their testicles. So it went viral after that. In this article, I saw a link to one of the scientific journals, Nature or Science or just one of them. And I started reading one of the scientific papers and it was just so dense.
I mean, it's written for scientists. So hence my idea, that was the insight. The insight is there's tons of cool things going on in scientific papers, but they are written for scientists. What if we can extract, probably using AI, insights from scientific papers, curate it, and write it in plain English for people to read. I think that a lot of people would be down with that.
So I'll share my screen to give you a sense of how I think about these things and how I come up with some of these ideas. So I had that insight and then I went to perplexity Perplexity.ai, the AI search engine. And I was just like, what are the best places to find scientific journals and research papers?
Turns out there's Google Scholar, which indexes 200 million scholarly articles across disciplines. There's Base, which indexes 136 million academic documents. There's Core, which is 136 million. And then there's Semantic Scholar, which has 40 million articles. So first of all, I read that and I was like, well, I didn't realize that there were that many academic articles.
Think about how many insights are in these. I mean, of course, some are less relevant to the average person than others, but I bet you there's tons of insights there. So I see there's also some repositories, there's also libraries. So I see this, and then I actually, I want to go check out the Nature website, and I look at it, and this is... music to my ears.
When I see a website that looks like this, it sort of looks like it's been built in the late 2000s. There's nothing better than this. In fact, I can't even click here. It's not even letting me click because this pop-up is up. It's just, it's pretty brutal. So I really like that. And To me, this is validation that you have a lot of people who are referencing these articles.
