His $11 Website Pulled In $35K of Quote Requests

Chris Koerner shared a site he had AI build for a business he doesn't own πŸ‘€

It's laredocranerental.com, a quote page for crane hire in Laredo, Texas, and the requests go to a real crane company...

I've never rented a crane. I barely know what cranes are. I've never been to Laredo. And I've already gotten three leads from people that want to rent a crane from me in Laredo, Texas.

One lead was a $3,000 lead. One was like a $23,000 lead. And one was like a $9,000 lead, okay? Within a month.

That's the value of the jobs, not money in his pocket, against $11 plus a few dollars of AI usage 🀯

Chris' playbook...

  • He skips dentists and plumbers, since everyone builds sites for them
  • AI finds a service where Google Maps shows only a couple of businesses, with few reviews
  • It checks plenty of people search for it and ad clicks are cheap
  • It buys the matching .com and builds the site
  • It sends him a report every Monday on where the site ranks

He offered the leads to the only Laredo crane company with much of a web presence, already booked three weeks out, telling the owner...

I'd like to charge for these leads one day, but that's not today. For now, they're free. All I ask is that you tell me how they go.

Once he sees who closes, the plan is to rent the site to one company for around $800 a month, the model Luke Van Der Veer scaled to $185K/Month across 230 sites πŸ’°

Chris is running the same play on shower doors in Brownsville, Texas.

Find a boring, high-ticket service with a thin Google map in a city near you, put up a quote site, and give the first leads to whoever can do the work.

Get Paid $25 an Hour to Video Chat With Strangers

Babel Audio pays people to make small talk with strangers on camera πŸ‘€

It pairs you with whoever else is online, you both pick a topic from a list, then you chat for a few minutes.

The recordings get licensed to AI companies teaching voice assistants to sound like real people.

Babel is run by David AI, an audio data startup valued at $500M in 2025.

A long-time contributor, ryanvango, shared a guide to getting in, starting with the pay...

it pays $50 per recorded hour right now, sometimes more if you have a bonus running... The "effective pay" works out to around $20-$30 depending how efficient you are with deliberation and whatnot.

Deliberation = you and your partner choosing a topic, which is unpaid.

The catch is the audio check, which picks up everything...

Me, I have my blanket fort and I even unplug my mini fridge because my mic is too sensitive and can hear it...

People have gotten flagged for tummy grumbles.

Flagged calls cut your daily call limit, and enough of them gets you removed from the project 😱

So most of the work is getting a room quiet enough to pass.

The video role is open to people in the US and Canada with a General American accent, a laptop or desktop, and a 720p webcam.

Acceptance is low, so test-record yourself in your quietest room before you apply 🀞

$125/Day Selling ‘Junk Journal’ Files AI Whips Up in Minutes

There's a whole world of Etsy shops selling digital "junk journal" assets... distressed paper, vintage stamps, botanical prints.

One shop has racked up over 487,000 sales.

Joshua Mayo explains the appeal πŸ‘‡

These are digital assets, which means they make them once and they can sell them over and over again as digital downloads.

One bundle pulled in about $2,766 in 22 days – roughly $125/day in revenue from a single listing πŸ‘€

The clever bit: instead of designing each file by hand, you point AI at a style that's already selling and have it build a generator that pumps out a whole bundle in minutes.

The same trick works for seamless patterns – wallpaper, wrapping paper, fabric – and SVG bundles for Cricut and t-shirts.

One SVG shop has pulled in an estimated $1.7M πŸ€‘

It's not free money – you'll need volume, sharp mockups, and consistency.

But the grunt work just got a lot cheaper 😎

$3-7K Per Client For This AI Cold Email Playbook

Someone on Reddit set up an automated outbound system for his buddy's 3-person marketing agency. Before that, he explains…

their whole strategy was posting on instagram and hoping someone would reach out. spoiler: nobody reached out

The system took 2 weeks to build. Tool cost: $200-300/mo. Result for the agency: 0 booked calls β†’ 15-20 per month, 4 new clients closed in 2 months.

Here's the 6-step setup πŸ‘‡

  • List building – targets pulled weekly from a lead database, filtered by intent signals (job postings, funding rounds)
  • Infrastructure – separate sending domains, multiple inboxes, automated warmup, auto-pause on deliverability dips
  • AI personalization – first line per lead generated from real company data
  • Follow-ups – 2-3 email sequences triggered by opens and replies
  • Reply routing – AI categorises replies; only positive ones reach the owner's phone
  • Booking – interested prospects sent straight to a calendar page

He targeted tree service, plumbing, and construction companies for his buddy. He says his average ticket for building the same system for paying clients is $3-7K πŸ€‘

The kicker: there's no sci-fi AI in the setup at all πŸ‘‡

no AI agents. no chatbots. no fancy demo. just emails going to the right people at the right time with the right message

Pick one niche, build it once, sell it to small agencies or local service businesses on a setup fee + retainer πŸ”₯

One Client Pays Him $3K/Month to Manage Reddit Reputation

πŸ“ A solopreneur asks what to do with the business he's built on his own…

I built a Reddit intelligence platform: It tracks how your industry's Reddit is doing, what narratives exist about your brand and your competitors... it tracks hourly so you can respond.

He tracks which threads rank on Google too, and which ones get quoted back by AI…

Reddit threads on Google makes or breaks your revenue by a significant amount, and you don't even know where that thread is.

He's onto something. Nearly half of Google's AI Overviews now include Reddit content πŸ‘€

Monitoring is only half of it. Sounds like he also researches each thread and drafts replies for the client to approve and post.

πŸ€‘ His one client – an AI tennis ball machine company – pays him $3,000/month.

He landed that client by pitching them directly.

Find a brand whose worst Reddit thread outranks their own website, and offer to watch it and write the replies πŸ”₯
