IDEAS WORTH REMEMBERING
5 ideasA niche service is a fast path to $10K a month
Shaan says that instead of newsletters or e-commerce, he would pick one business niche and help it make more money, such as email marketing, lead gen, or conversion optimization.
Content can win clients without money
Shaan suggests posting teardowns of what other companies do to improve conversion, so that after repeated posts people think you're smart and hire you.
Many successful businesses lack digital marketing skills
Shaan's father-in-law's senior living facilities and the personal injury lawyer both get clients through referrals, which suggests an opening for lead generation or consulting with revenue sharing.
Context matters for 'what should I do' questions
Sam says he hates being asked what someone should do with no context about their strengths, while Shaan empathizes with the asker.
Ghost targets a timely excess-inventory problem
Shaan explains that pandemic supply swings left retailers with too much stock, and Ghost lets them sell it privately to liquidators instead of discounting publicly and hurting their brand.
