Strategy 1: Latch on to a Popular Hobby, Passion, or Craze
Popular diet plans come and go, but a few of them stick around. The Paleo
diet, which encourages its followers to eat a lot of some things (meat and
uncooked vegetables) and very little or none of other things (grains, dairy,
sugars, etc.) looks like it’s here to stay. Like all strict diets, Paleo attracts a
passionate following in addition to a passionate group on the other side that
questions  its  scientific  basis.  Situations  like  these—an  industry  or


movement with lots of lovers and haters—always present a good business
opportunity.
Enter  Jason  Glaspey,  who  had  adopted  the  lifestyle  after  reading  The
Paleo  Diet,  a  popular  manual  for  Paleo  followers.  Jason  noticed  a  big
difficulty  with  trying  to  follow  the  diet:  It  was  complicated.  “Eat  natural
food  and  avoid  grains”  sounds  simple  enough,  but  adhering  to  the  whole
diet  requires  a  fair  amount  of  ongoing  planning.  This  is  another  sign  of  a
good business opportunity: when lots of people are interested in something
but have a hard time implementing it in their daily lives.
Jason  got  to  work  creating  a  solution.  He  understood  that  the
demographics  for  hardcore  Paleo  followers  were  more  male  than  female
and  tended  to  fall  in  the  age  range  of  twenty-five  to  thirty-five.  More
important, however, Jason noticed that people of various backgrounds were
attracted to the Paleo lifestyle but weren’t sure they could devote much of
their time to planning for it. Thus the opportunity: Provide a comprehensive
resource  that  “gave  them  the  fish”  (no  pun  intended,  although  Paleo
followers do eat a lot of fish) by telling them exactly what to buy, cook, and
eat each week. Jason started Paleo Plan, a one-man business, in three weeks
with $1,500. Within a year, the business grew to earn recurring income of
more  than  $6,000  a  month,  requiring  a  grand  total  of  two  hours’  work  to
update the site each week.
