4-Hour Hustles
Profitable, automated businesses that work while you don't. Set-and-forget freedom machines in one juicy email.
Wednesday means 4-Hour Hustle time, guys. (Inspired by the legend himself, Tim Ferriss - and his book, the 4Hour Work Week).
This is the sweet spot - maximum freedom, minimum babysitting.
Your cardio session for business building.
Not the heaviest lift, but the one that keeps running after you've left the gym.
Today we're diving into a Slide Deck from Course Outlines.
The goal? Build it once, let it run, move on to the next one.
🧠 The Big Idea
Course creators burn $5K+ per deck on agencies while DIY tools make them look amateur. You build education-specific AI that understands how people actually learn, charge $350-750 instead of $5K, and hit $7.4M by year 5.
Who: Online course creators with 6-figure businesses (they control marketing budgets)
Problem: Spending $15K-$50K annually on slide design while their content quality determines their entire business reputation
Your answer: Educational AI that gets pedagogy right
💰 Potential Revenue
Starting out: $10.6K/mo with 150 customers paying $850 average
Scaling phase: $280K/mo because corporate training teams discover you and pay premium rates
Mature operation: $7.4M/yr running subscription + enterprise model
Reality check: Your former tech lead will make more teaching React courses using your slides than you make writing React code
Projected Revenue Growth (2025-2029) for Slide Deck from Course Outlines
🛠 Bootstrap Game Plan
Lunch today: Interview 5 course creators + find their slide horror stories
Tonight: Build landing page + integrate OpenAI for basic outline-to-slides demo
Tomorrow AM: Post demo on Twitter + collect 50 course creator emails
Day 3: Ship working MVP + process first 3 orders manually
Day 5: Close deals showing: their current slides vs your AI output
The Reality: While you optimize databases, some dropout is already charging $500/deck with ChatGPT + Canva
💸Getting Your First Dollar
"I'll turn your course outline into presentation slides that actually help people learn—$150, delivered tonight."
Uh oh... you need to be a paid subscriber to find out the full launch plan..

And if you're not in yet? There’s still time - but not much.
Tool of the Day
Glide Apps: Spreadsheet-to-app converter for rapid prototyping
TL;DR: Converts Google Sheets into mobile apps instantly. Great for testing concepts and building internal tools, but limited customization and scaling costs.
What It Does
Converts spreadsheets into native mobile apps without coding
❌ Before: Commission developers for months-long builds or abandon app ideas due to technical barriers
✅ After: Connect your spreadsheet, drag-and-drop interface components, deploy working app in hours
The Test
Users praise Glide's speed and accessibility while noting functionality constraints and cost scaling.
The strengths:
Zero-code barrier – visual editor lets non-technical users build apps quickly
Live data sync – spreadsheet changes instantly update across all apps
Professional templates – pre-built layouts for directories, inventories, project trackers
Multi-platform – works on iOS, Android, and web from single build
Team collaboration – shared editing with role-based permissions
The problems:
Customization ceiling – complex logic hits platform limitations quickly
Escalating costs – free tier caps at 1,000 rows; pro features jump to $25/month
Performance issues – large datasets cause sluggish user experience
Data dependency – apps break if spreadsheet structure changes
Limited integrations – fewer third-party connections than development platforms
Why It Matters
Product managers prototype concepts before engineering investment. Founders build MVPs for demos and customer validation. Teams deploy internal tools without disrupting core development.
Transforms weeks of development into same-day deployable solutions.
Setup
Three ways to get started:
Connect and build: Link spreadsheet, choose components, customize through drag-and-drop
Template start: Select from 100+ templates, replace data, adjust branding
Team development: Invite members, assign permissions, iterate with real-time preview
Access and learning:
Free tier: basic apps with 1,000 rows; paid plans $25-99/month
Build time: 2-4 hours simple apps; full day for complex versions
Support: video library, community forum, email support
The Verdict
Price: generous free tier; reasonable pro pricing; enterprise costs accumulate
Usability: extremely approachable for non-developers; constraints frustrate technical users
Limitations: excellent for prototypes and simple tools; inadequate for complex applications
Impact: democratizes app creation, accelerates validation, enables rapid internal tool deployment
Worth trying? Yes for concept testing, prototyping, or quick internal solutions. Migrate to custom development when you outgrow platform capabilities.

Prompt of the Day
Marketing teams ship campaigns that trigger legal nightmares
The core problem: Marketing teams launch campaigns with zero legal protection while compliance sits in separate silos-marketers focus on conversion rates, legal reviews happen after launch (if ever), and leadership discovers liability exposure only when lawsuits arrive. This creates expensive cleanup cycles that drain resources and kill campaign momentum.
Why it works: It transforms marketing compliance from reactive damage control into proactive risk management using a structured TREF methodology. By positioning AI as a specialized legal assistant, it generates custom disclaimers that match specific campaigns, audiences, and jurisdictions-not generic boilerplate text that protects nothing.
This systematic approach converts risky marketing launches into legally bulletproof campaigns that protect company assets while maintaining aggressive growth tactics. Our prompt library contains over 1,000 production-ready prompts specifically designed for engineering managers, product managers, systems engineers, and technical consultants who need expert-level technical outputs.
The Signal
When someone signs up to your SaaS, grab their email domain, get a summary from Firecrawl, have an LLM generate you the best starting keywords/configuration / demo project settings for your service.
Run this while they click "confirm" in their email.
First impression: magical.

Most SaaS treats new users like amnesiacs.
"Please tell us everything about yourself again" whilst sitting on a goldmine of signals.
Smart founders flip this. Grab their email domain. Scrape their site. Let AI build their perfect setup.
🎯 That's how you turn friction into your moat.
⚡ Skip the endless planning cycles.
Winners deploy solutions while others debate frameworks.
Your next income stream starts with shipping, not strategizing.
Make decisions quickly, course-correct constantly.
🔥 Execute relentlessly,
Mr. Juice
