These are the five hustles I run today. Get my strategy, sourced research and a free web playbook for the one that fits you.
Explore the top fiveChoose a direction that fits your skills,
your budget and the work you want to do.
01Turn attention into an asset.
My Black Paper Chasers brand IS the funnel. The content you watched to get here is the same system I'm about to show you.
02Build a brand without stocking inventory.
I don't sell "Happy Mother's Day" mugs. I sell high-margin products to buyers who have to buy more than one.
03Help brands make content that sells.
I find the products and ads that are already winning — then build scroll-stopping AI UGC for brands without hiring a single actor.
04Turn business problems into websites people pay for.
I find local businesses that have a Google Business Profile but no website — then I let AI build their site before I ever pitch them. They see their own business online before they spend a dime.
05Build a focused tool that solves one problem.
I don't sell "a chatbot." I sell the money a business is losing on missed calls — and I show them the math with their own numbers.
Five directions worth investigating—not a ranking of guaranteed winners. We look for evidence of demand, a workable route to customers and a realistic starting point for an independent business.
| Opportunity | Startup cost | Difficulty | First revenue | Main risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Faceless content | $0–$300 | 3 / 5 | 3–9 months | Originality is non-negotiable |
| Print-on-demand | $50–$500 | 2 / 5 | 1–3 months | Thin margins |
| UGC & AI ads | $0–$300 | 2 / 5 | 1–2 months | Price pressure |
| Website services | $0–$200 | 2 / 5 | 1–2 months | Commoditized builds |
| Micro-SaaS & AI tools | $50–$1,000 | 4 / 5 | 2–6 months | Most products stay small |
Startup costs, difficulty and time to first revenue are editorial planning ranges, not measured benchmarks. They exclude your time and vary by location and approach. We have no reliable search-trend data in hand, so we do not show search-trend charts. Sources use different samples and periods; industry size is not personal earning potential.
Your Forecast and web playbooks are free. No credit card required.
The problem isn't a lack of tools.
It's a lack of a clear next move.
Another tutorial. Another subscription. But no one has been asked to buy anything.
You keep switching directions before one idea gets a real test in the real world.
A full calendar isn't progress. A useful offer in front of a real customer is.
No guaranteed income. No overnight money. Market forecasts describe whole industries and don't predict individual results. Estimates are illustrative, not predictions.
No. These are researched areas to investigate, not predictions or investment advice. Results depend on demand, execution, costs and your circumstances.
Historical describes a past period. Current reflects the cited report or fee guidance, not live tracking. Forecast is a source’s estimate of a future industry outcome. Always check the period and source.
They calculate the inputs and editable assumptions you choose. They do not forecast customers or income. Revenue estimates exclude costs unless explicitly shown; profit estimates still depend on the costs you enter.
