The Most Passive $104K/M Online Business You've Never Heard Of - Ep. #296

Check out my newsletter at https://TKOPOD.com and join my community at https://TKOwners.com --- A year ago I asked you to email me if you started a business because of something you heard on this podcast. A lot of you did. In this solo episode I break down 11 of those stories, from a guy who turned broken brick mailboxes into $800K in two years while keeping his day job, to a $500K pickleball court company in Nebraska, a teacher whose Christmas light business out earned his salary, and a pumpkin porch business that flopped and why I'm proud of it anyway. For each one I cover what to charge, where to find your first customer, and the one tool you need, plus a lightning round of 10 more listener businesses.

We talked about how they got started by simply texting people they knew, offering AI assessments, and helping businesses figure out what they could automate. They broke down the exact outreach strategy they used to land a $30 million construction company, how they structure their pricing, and how they use tools like Claude to build AI solutions that save companies hours of work. We also covered how anyone with some basic AI knowledge could potentially start a similar business without needing a ton of experience or money.Check out their company: https://certifiedaipartners.com/Enjoy!---Watch this on YouTube instead here: tkopod.co/p-ytAsk me a question on or off the show here: http://tkopod.co/p-askLearn more about me: http://tkopod.co/p-cjkFollow me on Twitter here: http://tkopod.co/p-xFree weekly business ideas newsletter: http://tkopod.co/p-nlShare this podcast: http://tkopod.co/p-allScrape small business data: http://tkopod.co/p-os---

Over the past six weeks, I've been experimenting with letting AI actually do the work for me, and the results have been pretty crazy. I show how I used AI to get eight pool quotes in 24 hours, save thousands on contractors, automate Facebook Marketplace, and build an $11 website that's already generating leads. We also get into AI-powered dropshipping, automated client outreach, and building simple businesses that practically run themselves. Finally, I break down which AI agents work best for different tasks and share the exact prompts I've been using.Enjoy!---Watch this on YouTube instead here: tkopod.co/p-ytAsk me a question on or off the show here: http://tkopod.co/p-askLearn more about me: http://tkopod.co/p-cjkFollow me on Twitter here: http://tkopod.co/p-xFree weekly business ideas newsletter: http://tkopod.co/p-nlShare this podcast: http://tkopod.co/p-allScrape small business data: http://tkopod.co/p-os---

We talked about how he and his wife got started, how spending less than $100 on Facebook ads brought in $10,000 in bookings, and how he uses a clever referral system to turn party guests into future customers. Justin also broke down his pricing, expenses, and how renting his space to three churches covers his monthly rent. We also discussed how someone could test this business without signing a long-term lease and the biggest mistakes to avoid when getting started.Find Justin and The Hall ATL:Website: thehallatl.comInstagram: @thehallatlFree event venue ebook: Available through The Hall ATL's Instagram.Enjoy!---Watch this on YouTube instead here: tkopod.co/p-ytAsk me a question on or off the show here: http://tkopod.co/p-askLearn more about me: http://tkopod.co/p-cjkFollow me on Twitter here: http://tkopod.co/p-xFree weekly business ideas newsletter: http://tkopod.co/p-nlShare this podcast: http://tkopod.co/p-allScrape small business data: http://tkopod.co/p-os---
