FRESH IDEA

Commercial cleaning is a $78+ billion industry growing 6.6% annually. Professional appointment setting services see 40 to 50% conversion rates on qualified leads. That's nearly half of prospects becoming paying customers.

Meanwhile, 70% of cleaning businesses fail within two years. The main reason? Weak lead generation. Owners know how to clean. They don't know how to find customers consistently.

That's your opportunity. You don't need to own a cleaning company. You become the lead generator. Cold call facility managers. Run local SEO campaigns. Optimize Google Business Profiles. Then sell those leads to cleaning companies for $50 to $200 each.

The beauty: commercial cleaning contracts are long term. One lead can become years of recurring revenue for the cleaning company. They'll pay premium for quality leads because the lifetime value is massive.

Target underserved markets where national franchises don't operate. Medical offices. Small warehouses. Local schools. Abstrakt Marketing shows the demand is real and growing.

Start by learning what facility managers actually need. Then become the bridge between them and hungry cleaning companies.

HUSTLE REVIEW

Six-Figure Writing Books

Amazon's official announcement: more than 2,000 KDP authors surpassed $100,000 in royalties. The number of authors earning $50K+ grew 40% between March 2020 and March 2022.

This isn't traditional publishing with gatekeepers. These are self published authors who uploaded their own work and kept 35 to 70% royalties.

The winning formula: niche selection matters most. Romance, self help, and how to guides dominate. Series writing works because readers want more. Consistent publishing beats one off launches.

Low content books also work. Journals. Planners. Activity books for kids. BookBolt tracks top sellers and most are publishing volume, not masterpieces.

The key insight: treat publishing like a business. Volume, marketing, testing covers. Not art. Not hoping one book goes viral.

BORING WEBSITE CASH COW

png2jpg.com converts image files. That's it. No fancy design. No complex features. Just a tool that solves one problem millions of people Google every month.Her first flip: $50 nightstand plus $15 in supplies sold for $195. Her best flip: free dresser plus $40 in supplies sold for $700. That's $650 profit or about $82 per hour.

The site pulls over 1 million organic visits monthly according to SimilarWeb. Revenue comes from display ads. Simple math: 1M visitors times a $10 to $20 CPM equals $10K to $20K per month minimum.

Craigslist is still one of the ugliest websites online. It still generates hundreds of millions in revenue annually with barely any design updates since the 1990s.

The pattern: find questions people ask repeatedly. Build the simplest possible answer. Capture search traffic. Monetize with ads or affiliate links.

Examples everywhere: calculators (mortgage, tip, timezone), status checkers (is X down?), converters (units, currency), and directories. Many earn passively for years with minimal updates.

Indie Hackers is full of these stories. The opportunity isn't in design. It's in solving one problem better than anyone else.

The 5 mistakes killing your newsletter

Email marketing averages $36 return for every $1 spent. Highest ROI of any marketing channel. Yet most newsletters die with under 1,000 subscribers and never generate real revenue. The problem isn't the channel. It's the approach.

Problem 1: No clear value proposition. Why should anyone subscribe?

Problem 2: Inconsistent sending. Sporadic emails train people to ignore you.

Problem 3: All selling, no value. Every email pitches something.

Problem 4: No segmentation. Same message to cold leads and loyal fans.

Problem 5: Poor subject lines. 40% of email success is the open.

The fixes: Define one specific outcome readers get. Send consistently at the same day and time. Follow the 80/20 rule where 80% is value and 20% is promotion. Segment by engagement. Test subject lines obsessively.

HubSpot's research shows personalized emails deliver 6x higher transaction rates. But most creators treat every subscriber the same.
