Hey there!

This week I'm headed to MIAMI! I'm hanging with founders and builders.

And enjoying a little tennis on the side :)

Today: 5 tiny side projects that turned into thousands per month.

These people prove that building MVPs and validating ideas is the best way to start a business.

No hacks or gimmicks. Just action.

I love it.

Welcome to Sunday Breakfast!

1. The Orange Juice 🍊

They turned $150 into $10K/mo

These indie founders were focused on building digital products.

But after creating a few things, they were stuck at $5K/mo.

For their next project, they decided to ship fast and keep costs low.

They invested $150 bucks into Bubble and built a new product in 3 weeks.

Then on launch day, they made $1K.

Within 6 months… they had made over $60K from this one product!

Read the full breakdown here.

2. The Coffee ☕

He made $5K without a landing page

This guy has been building side projects since 2021.

At his FT job, he ran into an annoying problem.

So he decided to solve it for himself.

He shared a simple demo on Twitter and people loved it.

But he didn’t even have a landing page!

So he set up a quick way to collect payments, and made $600 bucks on day one.

Here’s his formula:

• Find a problem

• Build a simple MVP

• Validate

• Scale

Check out how he did it.

3. The Eggs 🍳

$300K with zero employees

This guy was obsessed with making money online

(w/o selling his time).

But he didn’t really know where to start…

He loved using Notion, so he decided to build a business around it.

The first few months were rough (literally $0).

But he kept building.

Two years later, has a 200K following across social media

And he's sold $300K worth of digital products.

All by himself.

How did Miko grow by 115% GMV in just one year?*

He leveraged 2-day shipping with Walmart Fulfillment Services.

See, Miko had products sitting on his shelves that previously did not have 2-day shipping.

But with one click of a button, he increased GMV by 1573% on those items.

That's the Walmart Marketplace difference.

4. The Toast 🥪

This simple side project made $18K in one month

So this guy is obsessed with one thing: golf

He drives all over the states to play with his buddies.

But he’s annoyed by this tiny problem that he couldn’t find a solution for.

Not even the ‘big guys’ can fix it.

So… he built it for himself.

Turns out a lot of other people have the same little problem.

Now he makes $3K/mo and he just started 3 months ago!

Read the full case study

5. The Pancakes 🥞

$25M business validated in 3 hours for $5

This guy saw the same problem over and over again:

Where do you put your bags when you travel?

He had a wild idea:

Could bag storage as a service be a thing?

But he didn’t want to spend thousands to build a solution.

Here’s what he did instead:

• Built a basic landing page w/Typeform

• Ran a $5 Google search ad

• Landed his first customer literally within 5 minutes

In one year he bootstrapped it to $100K

Wow.

But wait 'til you read about how the biz almost died and what he did to keep it alive 👀

This story has so many twists and turns, you’ve just gotta read it for yourself.

Full story here.

That's it!

I hope you have the best Sunday, and are getting ready for a great week ahead!
