Your skills are a business
Ideas we have for people in sales & business.
The same experience that earns a paycheck as a marketing manager can start a business. Here are real ideas from our marketplace that fit this field.
Start a Done-for-You Quote Post Service for Local Businesses
Keep local businesses, coaches, and realtors visible with a month of branded daily quote and tip posts, delivered as a flat-fee subscription service they never have to think about.
Start an Infomercial and DRTV Production Company
Produce direct response video for product companies that sell by demonstration: classic long-form infomercials, two-minute DRTV spots, and their fast-growing descendants on YouTube, social, and streaming TV. The script's job is measurable response, not brand applause, and clients pay premium rates for teams who know the difference.
Start a Nightlife Social Media Marketing Agency
Run the social media and influencer marketing that clubs, promoters, and events depend on for guest-list generation, since a promoter's follower count and social presence is their primary sellable asset.
Micro-Influencer Outreach Tool for Small Brands
A tool that lets a small brand run influencer marketing without an enterprise platform: find micro-creators in their niche on one platform, manage personalized outreach, track who agreed to what, and follow each campaign's content and results in one place.
You could hire marketing managers, not just be one.
We have a staffing calculator to price the work and a full course on how to start a staffing agency, so you can turn a field you already know into a business that puts other people to work.
