This is a perfect first company for anybody to start. So it's Google Ads for XYZ. And then you create an agency that's around that specific thing. It's going to be like shooting fish in a barrel. All of these companies or people are searching for Google Ads for XYZ.
And if you go to the front page of Google, what's ranking for the majority of the pages at the top is a stack pack of three YouTube videos. So if you just name the video, Google ads for apartments, and you walk through literally, how do you set up Google ads for an apartment complex?
And you're just going deep on like the strategy, the tactics, the philosophy of this for a lot of people, they're going to look at this and be like, Oh my God, like, I don't want to do this. Like this looks mind numbing. So I'm going to go and I'm going to buy this service from a person. And then basically, you know, get 30 clients and that's a million dollar a year business.
Like I'm obsessed with this right now. It's like YouTube is the top of funnel for service businesses. Some kid who's 24 can go do this tomorrow. And I guarantee you, if you did a video a day for the next 200 days, you could easily be at 30 grand a month doing this. What is this, a week later?
So I guess it went well. So we recorded most viewed pod, most downloaded pod since the beginning. And I've had everyone from Alexis Ohanian on here, Jason Kalkanis, David Friedberg, Morgan Housel, Sahil Bloom, you name it. But I don't know, there's something about you. You're an idea machine that people couldn't get enough of you.
I love it, man. I'm stoked to be back. We got a lot more. I've got eight in the chamber, but two are software, one's a creator business, and the other ones are all like service companies. But anyways, I totally juiced the numbers, by the way. I was like just running Twitter ads. I wanted the top spot on the Greg YouTube channel. Yeah.
And you did. And it worked. So thank you. Let's start with service businesses because they're easy to start. And I want you just to bang through all these service business ideas because some of them are really good.
Cool. Should I start with the creator one or go to the service one?
Whatever you want. You can start with whatever you want. But what's important to me is that for every idea that you talk about, just being, giving people the tactics around like, here's the idea. And this is how I'd actually go about starting. Yeah, exactly. Cool.
