Why I Target "Boring" Industries
Everyone builds ChatGPT wrappers. I automate insurance claims. Guess who's profitable?
Saturday morning LinkedIn scroll. Every other post:
"Launched my AI SaaS!" "Built a revolutionary chatbot!""Disrupting content creation!" "Next-gen productivity platform!"
Cool. How's revenue?
*crickets*
Meanwhile, my November clients:
Insurance adjuster: $2,100/month (automates claim docs)
Property manager: $1,500/month (tenant applications)
Title company: $1,800/month (closing documents)
Medical billing: $1,200/month (insurance forms)
Construction: $900/month (permit tracking)
Total from "boring" industries: $8,500/month
Why boring wins:
- Pain is acute: "I hate processing 200 claims daily" vs "I wish content was easier"
- Budget exists: Boring industries already pay for manual labor. Easy to justify automation.
- Less competition: Everyone chases shiny. Nobody wants insurance.
- Proven workflows: They've done it manually for decades. Just replicate digitally.
- Sticky revenue: Once automated, they can't imagine going back.
The Opportunity Matrix: High excitement + High competition = Low profit Low excitement + Low competition = High profit
My "Boring" Research Process:
Search Facebook groups for:
"Drowning in paperwork"
"Manual data entry killing us"
"Spending hours on documentation"
"Need help with forms"
Found my $18k/month business in complaints.
Current "Boring" Pipeline:
Waste management (route optimization)
Funeral homes (permit processing)
Veterinary clinics (patient intake)
Equipment rental (maintenance logs)
Each conversation starts: "Nobody else wants to touch this industry..."
The Reality Check:
Sexy startups: 3% succeed, fight for venture funding
Boring automations: 80% succeed, self-funded from day one
What "boring" industry is begging for automation in your network?
