In this solo episode, I break down how to make money with Meta Muse by mining Facebook groups, Marketplace, and Instagram to match buyers with sellers. The idea came after my wife and I had a baby and the agency we hired for a night nurse admitted it found candidates in Facebook groups. I demo Muse finding night nurses at $30 an hour in Montreal, show how to give it a phone number through Bland AI, and share the Marketplace and Instagram tactics I'd use. I close with my four-level framework for growing a matching side business into a trusted list, a community, and a vertical software company.

Key Points

  • Muse mines public Facebook groups, Marketplace, and Instagram to match buyers and sellers in any niche and city.
  • A clean list of names, needs, prices, and trust signals is an asset I own and can sell later.
  • Facebook groups, business pages, and IG niche pages look undervalued as Muse agents start crawling them.
  • I tell Muse where to look, and Facebook groups gave me the highest quality data.
  • My four levels: mine the data, own the list, own the room, then build technology.
  • A lean cost structure lets me charge a success fee of a few hundred dollars and keep high margins.
