Welcome to Biz Brainstorms –

My name's Connor.

I go down weekly rabbit holes of business ideas, lessons, & good finds.

Then, you get this 200 second email.

Today's Outline:
100K Idea – Real Estate Maps
$1M Idea – No Burping
$10M Idea – Scrapbooks

Todays Sponsor: Constant Hire

I’ve hired ~50 people for my own companies.

We got really good at hiring (to the point where we’ve sold $12M+ in our e-commerce business and completely removed ourselves from the day-to-day).

Part of that involves writing a killer job description.

Here is the template I use that gets us 4-10x the normal amount of applicants.

Ariel & Retail Logo Maps

Everyone in real estate knows the phrase:

“LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION”

It’s one of the most important things when buying property.

It’s always the reason that when any broker is selling a commercial property, there’s almost always a photo in it that looks like this:

Or this:

Well, here’s the good news. These are put together manually. Which… sucks.

When validating a business idea I love to search Reddit and find 2 things:

1) People with the same problem as me
2) The top voted comment explaining that they do it manually

Here’s the better news:

You can outsource this work to someone overseas for as little as $10.

So what's the plan?

• Build your site (LogoMaps•com)
• Get a list of every commercial real estate broker
• Give them a credit to make their first map for free
• Charge $149 per afterwards

Napkin math says average broker does 10 deals/year

Find 100 brokers. Offer 24 hour turnaround every time.

$149,000/year minus expenses (software, COGs, marketing, etc.)

People Can’t Burp

Here’s something crazy:

r/NoBurp has 31k members

It’s an entire community of people who can’t burp.

Why is this a problem?

Well if you’ve ever chugged a whiteclaw, you understand that the pressure in your stomach and chest builds only to be relieved by a massive belch.

There are people on this planet who can’t experience that relief. Hence, the no burp community.

But… there’s a new practice that allows individuals to inject botox into the cricopharyngeal muscles in their neck (I’m not a doctor, this is not medical advice).

This supposedly provides instant relief and let’s individuals burp again.
