5 validated startup ideas to get you paid (steal these $1M+/year ideas)

The Startup Ideas Podcast

I’m joined by Chris Koerner who owns 8 RV parks + 7 companies, as we jam on 5 ideas he would start tomorrow:

1) Content Management for underserved platforms

• Instagram Reels can be cross-posted to Facebook
• FB Reels get massive organic reach (100k+ views/hr)
• Clickable links allowed in comments (unlike IG)
• Opportunity: Build a tool/agency to automate this for creators

2) Programmatic SEO Franchise

• Use tools like Zapier, TagParrot, Whalesync to create 1000s of local landing pages
• Target undersaturated home services niches
• Sell as a "business in a box" for $10k + monthly fee
• Cheaper than a franchise, potentially huge ROI

3) Viral-Content Finder

• Content often goes viral on one platform, unknown on others
• AI could scan for viral content in your niche across platforms
• Automatically repurpose & post to your accounts
• Bonus: Add viral potential prediction feature

4) "Lifetime Warranty" DTC Brand

• Inspired by Shady Rays ($130M sunglasses brand)
• Offer lifetime replacements, factor cost into pricing
• Apply to other niches: flip flops, accessories, etc.
• Key: High margins + emotional connection to product

5) Shopify Abandoned Cart Call Center

• Human outreach converts WAY better than automated messages
• Target high AOV Shopify stores (100$+)
• Offer no upfront cost, take % of recovered sales
