01 THE IDEA

Partner with local bars and restaurants to install TVs displaying rotating short ads for local businesses. Charge advertisers $10/month to appear on the screen. With 50 ads rotating per TV and 70+ venues, the operator in Nick's example nets $20,000/month. The ad network creates community loyalty — local business owners naturally frequent the bars where their ads appear, driving additional foot traffic for the venue.

The model scales by expanding the number of venues and advertisers in a territory. Sales effort is required to sign up both venues (free to them, mutually beneficial) and advertisers ($10/month is a trivially easy sell). Hardware costs are modest; the main asset is the relationship network.

03 THE VERDICT

Proven real-world example generating $20K/month with a simple, scalable model. The $10/month price point is an almost frictionless sell to local businesses, and the network effects (business owners visiting partner bars) are a genuine moat. Low startup cost and semi-passive once the network is established.

Verdict: MAYBE — read why above. Still convinced? A vetted builder can pressure-test the scope before you commit.
