📝 Joshua Z writes

I made $34k after a year of printing out text messages into books.

His business…

My Forever Books. A website where you can upload your text messages (iMessage, WhatsApp, SMS, etc.) and get them printed into a real, physical book. Top use cases being anniversary gifts or preserving the texts of family/friends that have passed.

Exactly a year ago today, I made my first organic sale from a random customer in Tennessee… A month later, I quit my job and went all in on the business

Looks like he’s now averaging about $4K in monthly revenue 💰

Could be an opportunity to do the same thing in different languages / countries.

💡 I brainstormed with ChatGPT and it came up with a similar idea…

Family Groupchat Yearbook: Pull the best photos, jokes, and quotes from the family chat and print annually. Sell as a subscription (“We ping you every December with a one-click reorder.”)

This also reminded me of Framed Tweets, which was earning $25K/mo a few years back 😎
