The Main Dish | Business Ideas

Hyper-Targeted Online Marketing for Doctors & Lawyers
🔦 The Pitch: A boutique marketing agency that helps doctors and lawyers build trust, authority, and patient/client pipelines by creating credibility-first digital content, reputation management systems, and ultra-local lead generation campaigns.
What’s Cooking? (The Opportunity) 🍪
While generic marketing agencies serve “everyone,” most fail to understand the unique challenges of regulated, reputation-sensitive industries like medicine and law. Doctors and lawyers don’t just need leads—they need trust-qualified leads who are more likely to book and retain services.
Your agency does three key things differently:
Customer Persona Deep Dives — Build campaigns around exact patient/client types (e.g., personal injury clients, cosmetic dental patients, immigration law referrals).
Content that Converts with Credibility — Every strategy centers on showcasing trust: expert videos, reviews, FAQ answers, real case stories (compliance-friendly, of course).
Hyper-Local Authority Domination — You help clients show up first when people in their zip code search “best family doctor near me” or “top DUI lawyer in [city].”
Recipe (The Solution) 🧾
Core Services:
Google Business Profile domination & reviews strategy
Local SEO & content that answers real client questions
Targeted landing pages for specific client types (e.g., “immigration visa help in Austin”)
Email nurture flows customized for legal/medical compliance
Monthly video snippets that answer FAQs or showcase authority (think “Meet Dr. Elkins”)
Add-On Services:
HIPAA-compliant email marketing (for medical)
Social media video content with subtitles for auto-play
Attorney-client trust funnel with retargeting and referral tools
Startup Costs:
Website & branding: $300–$500
CRM & project management tools: $50/month
Niche copywriter (contract): $100–$300/project
Video editing software or subcontractor: $0–$500
Ads budget (optional): Client-funded

Check, Please (Monetizing) 💲

Strange Brew | Lets Get Wierd
Lasagna Lords
A delivery-only food brand dedicated entirely to the majestic, multilayered glory of lasagna.
You run a ghost kitchen or delivery-only brand that serves nothing but lasagna—all kinds, all vibes, no distractions. Classic meat lasagna? Yes. Truffle mushroom lasagna? Absolutely. Vegan, keto, gluten-free lasagna? You bet. Dessert lasagna with Nutella and mascarpone? Don’t tempt us.
Customers order via app or website, and you deliver steaming-hot trays of love straight to their door. Each box arrives branded like royalty: gold foil stickers, dramatic fonts, and possibly a printed “Lasagna Manifesto.”
🍽 Offer single-serving, party-sized, and “emergency freezer stash” options.
You lean hard into:
Nostalgia meets niche obsession
Food theater in a tray
Bragging rights for ordering from “the lasagna-only place”
Why It Could Work
✅ Niche food brands crush
Single-product food startups (think cookie-only, chicken-finger-only, grilled cheese-only spots) often go viral for their clarity, weirdness, and craving-to-doorstep simplicity. Lasagna is beloved, nostalgic, comforting, and surprisingly underrepresented.
✅ Perfect for delivery & leftovers
Lasagna holds heat like a champ, travels well, and even gets better the next day. That makes it ideal for delivery and meal prep.
✅ Fun = Shareable
There’s humor and joy baked into the concept. Who wouldn’t post a reel unboxing a comically thick lasagna labeled “The Meat Boss XL” or “Lady Veganza of House Ricotta”?
✅ Upsell opportunities galore
Custom garlic bread add-ons, house sodas, tiramisu shots, lasagna-themed stickers, and “Mom-Approved” wine pairings.
Slack: Talk to me
Slack isn’t just for big teams…it’s a secret weapon for solo entrepreneurs too. Use it to organize your business brain: create private channels for projects, clients, or content ideas, integrate tools like Google Drive and Notion, and even use it as a personal command center with reminders and pinned messages. Bonus: you can invite freelancers or collaborators when needed and keep all communication streamlined in one place.
The Big Score
What if launching your business didn’t take months… but just one weekend? Noah Kagan’s Million Dollar Weekend breaks down the exact steps to validate, launch, and scale a business fast with zero fluff. It’s a playbook for turning ideas into income, no matter your starting point. Entrepreneurs, this one’s a must-read.
