The Truth About AI and Business Opportunities

While the entire internet is getting crazy about AI, AI tools, and AI side hustles, and how to make money with such, don’t get me wrong, it’s a golden opportunity. I’ve covered that so many times. But the truth is that many of the most profitable businesses globally have nothing to do with AI.

The Hidden Potential in “Boring” Businesses

In fact, some of them are so boring and not sexy that most people ignore them. And that’s exactly where smart entrepreneurs, the ones that can look beyond the shining objects in front of them, are able to get in and win disproportionately. Those are the ones that are turning non-sexy ideas into multi-million dollar businesses silently, quietly, with no hype, no golden reborns.

Purpose of This Article.

So, in this article, I’ve gathered three non-sexy ideas that can get you very sexy money while everybody else is running after AI. So, if you’re ready, I’m ready. Let’s do this.

Idea 1: Rethinking Drop Shipping

Drop Shipping Isn’t Dead

Let’s start with something that most people think is dead. I’m talking about drop shipping. But they’re completely wrong. So, I’m going to guide you on the smart way of doing drop shipping. Not the scammy, not the oversaturated one that you see on TikTok or on Facebook ads where people are selling the same things all over the internet. Zero identity.

Smart Private Label Drop Shipping

I’m talking about smart private label drop shipping that can really stand out by using a platform, which is called Prolo, that powers thousands of brands behind the scenes globally.

The Problem with Traditional Drop Shipping

So, most people think of drop shipping as selling cheap stuff from AliExpress with long shipping times and zero brand loyalty. That model is broken. It’s 2015. Everyone is selling the same stuff. Consumers tend to forget the source of their purchases. I mean, this is the ultimate failure for an entrepreneur, right? Zero branding memory.

How Prolo Changes the Game

So, here’s where the game changes. It lets you build your own brand without ever touching inventory. You choose things from their inventory, but they let you add your branding and logo, personalize your packaging, ship worldwide with quicker delivery than AliExpress, and manage fulfillment and refunds rather than delivering your customers random stuff. So, you’re not just selling products, you’re not just drop shipping, you’re building a brand people can remember and can reorder from because that’s where money is.

How to Start

So, how to do it? Choose a specialty, such as stylish pet accessories, ergonomic workstation equipment, or comfortable loungewear for ladies. Use free traffic channels like TikTok, IG reels, Pinterest, and blogging to test product interest. Launch your site using Shopify or WooCommerce like my website, for example or even a simple landing page where you can even build your own product shop and then let them fulfill everything under your own brand.

Building Trust and Professionalism

The hardest part in e-commerce or any other business is building trust and a customer experience that is positive and that’s where it gives you an edge. You look professional from day one without doing things that can hurt your brand.

Exploring and Listing Products

So just explore the products in the catalog, start listing them, and add them to your store with a couple of clicks. It’s that easy. You can even select if for example, you are selling from the US right from the made in USA free shipping catalog, where you have so many choices to source products from the US directly without having to wait forever for them to come from China with super competitive pricing, like this one for example.

Fast Delivery and Better User Experience

You get all the details of the product. You have articles of the product that are super important in 2025 because you have the product photography but also actual usage of that listed on your website. So as you see on the website, delivery time of product has nothing to do with the typical drop shipping timings that are 30 days or 25 days. This is 3 to 6 days delivery time.

Simple Integration Process

So after selecting your Shopify store or your WooCommerce store, all you have to do is select the item, add it to the import list and just push it to your store. So for example, in your WooCommerce store, you need to add the plugin of Froolo. I will search it right here. This is the one. I will install it. I will activate it, and then I will find the plug-in right here on the left, as you see. Connect to Prolo and that’s it. Seconds later, I’m able to import products from Ero directly to my WooCommerce store and start selling.

Example Product Import

So, I want to add the products on my website, right? And it’s an easy-to-install, really affordable item to work out everywhere in every single room, even when you’re traveling. I will add to my import list. Push it to my store. Click on import. It is being imported. The import was successful. 

Choose a specialty, such as stylish pet accessories, ergonomic workstation equipment, or comfortable loungewear for ladies. And you can see product listings in stock on the website, ready to sell. This is the listing. And as you see, the product looks very professional. The description is ready, the features are ready, the photography is ready, and all the details on how to use it are ready.

It took less than 2 minutes to create this listing. And we have it ready in our store. You see the stock, right? I have unlimited stock without even having it anywhere near me. And you can brand that with your own logo, as we said before and start building a brand easier than ever.

Idea 2: An Accidental Business

The Birth of a New Service

Now the second idea is based on an accidental business that a friend of mine started a few months ago, which started making 200 bucks in just 3 days. So he was at his house one day and he wanted to carry one big item from the first floor to the second one. So he searched online and guess what? He only found big transportation companies asking hundreds of dollars to do this simple gig that probably would take 3 minutes for a couple of people or even one who was quite strong.

Identifying the Market Gap

So he couldn’t find anything. So with his digital knowledge, he searched for cutting stuff in Athens. That’s the search you see right here, Kuvala Athena. Right? So he searched online. He didn’t find anything. Only super outdated pages that didn’t work. The phone was not leading anywhere.

Building a Simple Landing Page

So he built a simple landing page. A website that doesn’t have any eye component is not a fancy design marketplace. It’s just a simple landing page saying exactly how it works. Having smart keywords inside that cover all the keywords needed to rank on the first page.

How It Started Growing

And as you see the website, that’s it. A couple of paragraphs and a phone number that you can call, and this guy started connecting people’s needs. people asking for help to move items, to carry simple stuff from A to B, from one floor to another one or from one street to the other one. And he started getting requests—two requests the first day, five requests the second day, 15, 20 requests within a week.

Connecting Workers with Side Hustles

So what did he do? He found people, everyday people, right, that are looking for side hustles or for extra income that can have a motorbike for example, so they can be anywhere really fast. and he was helping them make 50, 60, or $100 per day with one hour of work.

Simplicity and Domain Strategy

I mean what other jobs or what other kinds of side hustles can you offer to people for that amount of money? So by finding a need in the market, his own need and transforming that by searching online, he got a smart domain like Kuall Tesr, which is like carriers.com, for example, an equal name, exactly like I did with my website, the best free AI websites, because guess what? People love free AI websites.

So I was looking for them online. I couldn’t find a gallery that had everything together. So, I went to a domain search website and I started searching for ideas for a domain that I could get for me. And guess what? I found the best free AI websites. So, I got it. I built a platform and now I get 15,000 visits per day from people who are looking for free AI websites.

Key Lesson: Simplicity Wins

I mean, that’s how you should be searching online, trying to match problems that you have and searches that you make with available solutions and how to turn that into a business. As I said before, simplicity is everything. There is so much money hidden in real-life problems that everybody is ignoring.

Idea 3: Becoming an Instagram Memories Capturer

The Social Media Era

Idea number three, we’re living in the era of social media show-offs, right? People love sharing their moments. Polish, looking great, beach parties with friends, birthday parties, a gathering at your house, a night out with your friends, a bachelor party, you name it. so many unique moments with our friends, with our loved ones, and a big trip, right, with somebody.

The Problem: Poor Content Creation

So, what if most people lack the ability to create content, capture moments, and then put everything together to create something stunning that you can share with your friends on social media, rather than you taking pictures like a tourist?

The Solution: Instagram Memories Capturer

So, what if you come in that equation and you become an Instagram memories capturer, right? So you go and you create a landing page which says for example a capture your best moments in the most magic way or something like that and you target people that are having beach parties, birthday parties, big gatherings, weddings, baptisms, you name it.

How It Works

And you offer a service where you go with your drone and your phone, and you capture their moments and then you upload them to a Google Drive so that everybody can access beautiful moments from this gathering from those moments so that people can create beautiful posts, great videos, and drone shots, and you just show up for half an hour, 45 minutes, or 1 hour. 

You capture the footage, you go back, you edit it, or you go to Fiverr and find somebody who’s good at that, and you create killer footage that people would love, right?

Pricing and Potential

You can charge $200 or $300 for such a meeting. If you’re good, you can charge way more. If the people are spending tons of money in that gathering, if it’s a yacht gathering or a yacht party or whatever, you can even charge somewhere in the thousands.

Why This Works

And most of the time, those events are not covered. It doesn’t make sense for people or professional videographers and photographers to go and capture them because the cost is too high. They have super expensive equipment. It doesn’t make sense for them to be there. So, you come with your great smartphone and with a cheap drone and you create killer shots for them so they can share them on TikTok and on Instagram, create different footage with that and be creative.

So, you enter a beautiful moment of people and you make it even better by making some money. Let me know in the comments which idea you are going to explore and why. And guess what?
