On last week's show, Dan and Ian  talked about the many entrepreneurs finding success with productized service business. One of the reasons for this is that these businesses can be started quickly, and with little/no capital outlay.

So, for today's episode, they have asked their friend and expert 'ideas generator' Tristan King of Blackbelt Commerce to return. The last time Tristan was on this program listeners took the some of ideas he donated and turned them into successful businesses (Bean Ninjas being one).

Listen in to hear yet more of Dan and Tristan's thoughts for productized service businesses that can be started up this weekend.

Listen to this week's show and learn:

  • Why productized service businesses seem to be maturing. (3:20)

  • One of Dan's business ideas that is based on finding the right email marketing software for a client. (8:27)

  • A business idea that Tristan donates that is related to the Shopify ecosystem. (16:34)

  • An idea of Dan's that uses Instagram to help eCommerce stores. (19:53)

  • Why Shopify Ninjas became Blackbelt Commerce and what that process was like. (32:27)
