Ideas I'd build if I had the time
Over the years I've worked out dozens of side-hustle ideas and only built a few. These are the rest — real businesses with a real plan, online and off, from niche sites to mobile services you run out of your car. Not a list of domains to buy. Take one and run with it for free, or launch it with me.
- A Web Design Service for Local BusinessesBuild and maintain simple, fast websites for local businesses that are stuck with something awful or nothing at all.
- A Content Site for Colorado Trail Thru-HikersA gear-and-logistics resource for people planning to thru-hike the 486-mile Colorado Trail.
- A Niche Site Reviewing Dividend Investing BooksA small, evergreen affiliate site that reviews and ranks the best books on dividend investing.
- A Freelance Copywriting ServiceWrite the emails, web pages, and product descriptions that businesses need but hate doing themselves.
- A Bookkeeping Service for Small BusinessesKeep the books for small businesses that are behind, overwhelmed, or doing it wrong in a shoebox.
- A Virtual Assistant BusinessTake the inbox, scheduling, and admin busywork off the plate of busy founders and solopreneurs.
- A Mobile Notary & Loan Signing BusinessDrive to people and notarize their documents — and get paid well for real-estate loan signings.
- A Mobile Car Detailing BusinessBring the car wash to people's driveways and offices — they never have to leave, and they pay a premium for it.
- A Junk Removal BusinessHaul away the stuff people are desperate to get rid of — a truck, some muscle, and a phone that rings.
- A Mobile Knife & Tool Sharpening BusinessSharpen knives, scissors, and blades for restaurants, salons, and home cooks — on a route, with almost no overhead.
- No ideas match that. Try a different word.
Don't want to go it alone?
Pick one and launch it in 30–90 days
Reading about an idea is easy; shipping one is the hard part. In the Launch Accelerator I take five people at a time and spend an hour a day with each, turning one of these ideas (or your own) into a live business in 30 to 90 days.
The digital ones I sometimes build out myself, start to finish on video — follow along at Watch Me Build. Some ideas come with a domain I already own; there's no price list, so if one sparks something, see the domains I've parked and email me.
