Hyper-Niche Biz: $60,590 in 1 Month

Eric Turner tweets about his hyper-niche, bootstrapped business, Japan Dev 🇯🇵

It has no employees — just my wife and me.
It’s earned $60,590 so far this month.

The business is a simple job board for modern tech jobs in Japan. Companies pay a fee when they make a successful hire via the site.

The domain was only registered in March of 2019.

More remarkably, the target audience is tiny: English-speaking tech workers who want to live and work in Japan 🤯

Here’s what Eric attributes his success to…

choosing a business in my “zone of genius” helped. Everyone knows a lot about a few things. For me, it was:

• Living in Japan
• Programming
• Developer careers (worked as a dev + hiring manager for other devs)

And Japan Dev is at the intersection of all these.

If you were to draw up a venn diagram like Eric, might you find some ideas or opportunities at the intersection? 🤔
