Your next 7 fig idea

How to find winning startup startup ideas.

Hope you’re having a productive Sunday, my friend.

It’s 11:00 AM, and I’m already three coffees deep, so you know I am!

Let me give you some sauce today.

No fluff, just straight to the point.

2 ways to guarantee a good idea

  1. A Niche Version of an Existing Product:

    1. Find a successful product.

    2. Identify a specific audience or use case it’s not fully serving.

    3. Create a version of the product tailored to that niche.

  2. Copy an Existing Idea into a New Language/Market:

    1. Identify a successful product in a different market.

    2. Translate and adapt it to a new language or region.

    3. Launch it with localized marketing and support.

Now how do you find these ideas?

Let me help you out there.

I’d love to execute all of them, but I simply don’t have the time.

That’s why I’m starting an exclusive monthly newsletter.

I will research, find trends, and give you a full execution plan to set you up the best for success. I’m gonna do this for 5 high-conviction ideas every month.

What are the most important factors before picking an idea?

First and most important: The Market

  • Is it growing or shrinking?

  • Is it big or small?

Here’s the thing—competition doesn’t matter if you’re in a market that’s accelerating. When the pie keeps getting bigger, there’s enough to go around for everyone.

Go to Google Trends and verify where your market is right now

Next up: Validation

  • Are there already companies in this space that have had massive success?

  • If the answer is yes, that’s huge. It’s like getting a green light to go full speed ahead. Why? Because the idea is already validated.

Think about the Samwer brothers.

As I’m German I’m very familiar with their story.

These guys were famous for copying successful American companies and bringing them to Europe. They weren’t just lucky—they were strategic.

They saw that if a company raised hundreds of millions or had massive revenues in the U.S., there was a good chance the idea would work elsewhere too.

Most startups struggle with validation. But if you take an existing idea and tweak it for your local market or niche, you’re already ahead of the game.

How Journalist built a $2.8M business in 11 months

tryjournalist.com (I know these guys personally).
Their SaaS is pulling in $60k per month.
What do they do? It’s an AI blog article writer. Sounds generic, right?

They started less than 12 months ago.

$60k / month = $720k / year

$720k * 4 (moderate SaaS valuation)

= $2.88M business valuation (in just 1 year)

But here’s the twist—they didn’t just create another blog tool.

They saw huge companies like Jasper (a billion-dollar blog writing tool) and built a niche version focused on AutoBlogging. This means it not only writes but also publishes the articles for you.

So, what did they do?
They copied a successful idea and made a niche version of it.

Simple? Yes. Easy? No. Effective? Absolutely

And here’s something to keep in mind as you build:

You want to be right 999 out of 1,000 times, not 1 out of 1,000 times. Because you don’t have that many tries in life. But you also just need one business to succeed to be set forever.”

This is why it’s crucial to stack the odds in your favor.
