Issue #8 · Saturday, October 31, 2026

☕ THE COLD OPEN

  • 💄 She doesn’t code. Her beauty app peaked at $150K a month
  • 🍰 Sell HVAC shops the funnel agencies charge $20K for
  • 🌸 A flower business that sells zero flowers: $375 a booking
  • ⚡ Reddit’s CEO says Google’s AI Mode sends no traffic
  • 🧠 Same traffic, 2.6x the revenue, one switch

No tricks today. Just money plays. 🎃

5 minutes. Money first. Let’s go.

👀 ALSO MAKING MONEY

🎀 $6K MRR in month one: The publisher behind a $100K MRR maps app shipped GoGirl, the same idea in pink, made for women. They say it did $6K MRR and 7K downloads in its first month and hit #75 in US Navigation (per Social Growth Engineers, one small post, so treat it as a claim). It charges $6.99/week or $39.99/year. Pick an app that already works and build the version for one specific crowd.

 

💰 THE MONEY DROP

ONE NON-CODER, 400M+ VIEWS A MONTH

She doesn’t code. Her beauty app hit $150K a month.

👉 Your move: Don’t want to be on camera? Nicole’s advice is to sign up 2 to 10 creators and train them until one goes viral. She finds hers through tools like SideShift. Post one creator gig for your app this weekend and give one channel 2 to 3 weeks. Find your first creators on SideShift →
