🧾 receipts
- Trends.co + Greg Isenberg's Late CheckoutTrends sold to Hubspot for >$10M after a few years on this exact pattern (curated business ideas + community). Late Checkout earns $1M+/yr on aggregator-style biz idea content.source ↗
- Escape 9 to 5 itself (Loya is running this play right now)Escape 9 to 5 = Money Moves vault + Armory + Cheat Codes + AI News digest. The aggregator IS Loya's $97/mo product. Pattern is therefore proven for him; the speculative bet is whether OTHERS can run a copy in their own niche.source ↗
🚀 how to start
- 01Pick ONE niche operator type as your audience. NOT general 'aspiring entrepreneurs' — too broad to monetize. Examples: 'AI agency owners $5-50K MRR', 'creators 5-50K followers', 'engineers building side projects'. Tighter is better.
- 02Build the daily-scan engine: rettiwt or browser-harness X scraper + Reddit feed pulls + GitHub trending + Product Hunt. Run via cron. Output = ranked feed of patterns that actually shipped revenue.
- 03Curate ruthlessly. The MOAT is what you say NO to. Escape 9 to 5's pattern: 5-15% kept, the rest ignored. Aggregators that publish everything get drowned in noise; aggregators that publish 1-3 hot signals/day compound trust.
- 04Pricing model: $20-100/mo membership for the curated feed + a free public sample (one issue/wk). Or one-shot $97-297 quarterly playbook PDFs. Subscription beats one-shot for engaged niches; one-shot wins for cold-traffic + lower-trust audiences.
- 05Honest risk: this is the longest-term + highest-effort speculative play in the vault. 6-12 months of free output before $1K MRR is normal. Capital + time floor higher than most other categories. Asymmetric upside if it lands — Trends.co exit shows the ceiling.
