A short YouTube presentation by Chris Koerner pitching a small business idea: installing pocket doors sized for pets and babies. The speaker argues the pet market is large and lucrative, lists minimal tools/skills needed (hole saw, drill bit, painting/drywall skills, PVC), suggests a $1,000 price point, and recommends acquiring customers by partnering with existing pet-focused businesses and offering referral commissions.
Look at this freaking thing right here. This may appear to be a pocket door for pets and babies, but what this really is is your next business. There are more dogs than children in the United States, and people are spending more on their pets than ever before. If you think that starting a business installing pocket doors for pets and babies is too niche, look at all these well established pet industries that seem too niche. Billions of dollars of value right there. People spending too much on their pets. All you need to start this business is a hole saw, drill bit, some painting and drywall skills, some PVC, and a couple of YouTube videos. I bet you could charge a thousand bucks for this. How do you find customers? Oh, that's the easy part. It's all about piggybacking, baby. Remember these business ideas. Go reach out to owners of those businesses and piggyback on their customer base. They already have paying customers that are spending way too much on their pets. Ask for referrals and give them 20% of the revenue they generate. But for the full details right here.
