🧠 3 Idea Thursday
Social Sports Betting, Web Dev Lead Gen, and TV Mounting
Every week, I spend dozens of hours searching for the best business ideas.
Here are my favorites this week!
Sports betting and social will eventually merge.
– See friends’ bets in real time
– One click to bet with them
– Competitions with friends
– Bet head-to-head
– Group parlaysv1 will look like the Venmo feed.
10x better than betting solo and talking about it in the group chat.

I’m in 2 separate group chats all about parlays and money lines. Oh, and I wouldn’t say I like sports… I don’t have a problem, YOU have a problem.
Here’s a secret - the best business opportunities lie where people are desperately piecing together makeshift fixes. In this case, it’s groups texts + screenshots of bets.
Rather than build a whole new betting platform, I’d integrate with existing solutions and act as the social front end tying them all together.
PS DraftKings and Fanduel have a combined market cap of over $50B. Someone is going to get rich off this idea.

🧠 2: GBP Web Design Leads
Google is DELETING tens of thousands of local business websites
All of those business owners will no longer have a website at all starting March 2024
Smells like opportunity 💰
Here's what's going down:

Timing the market is everything in business - and the time to pursue this is right now.
The idea here is simple:
In March, tens of thousands of businesses will need new sites.
Every Google Business Site ends with '.business.site’
Build a tool that scrapes backlinks directing to ‘.business.site’
You can either sell the leads to web dev agencies or reach out to get a client yourself.
🧠 3: TV Mounting Service
I just had a TV hung for $225.
The guy did it in exactly 23 minutes and he said he does 6-8 per day.
At 6 days per week we're looking at $492k per year! Not a bad gig!

Simple businesses are like a nice pair of flip-flops: Are they sexy? No. But they’re easy to get into and will get you from point A to point B.
That’s all for this week. Please leave me feedback and let me know what you think!
