Ben Tossell (Ben's Bites)
- Independent confirmation
- Defined figures and no red flags
Ben's Bites started as a daily AI newsletter with 100K+ subscribers. Tossell then turned it into a paid AI education portal sold on a lifetime plan. The library grew from 50 tutorials to over 300, and he says it has taught 10,000+ people to use AI to save time and automate work. AI is the product: the newsletter covers AI news, and the paid tutorials teach AI automation, prompting, and AI tools for illustration and video. He moved away from advertising and toward selling AI education directly. Income claim: Claim: Ben's Bites is described as a "7-figure business" that has scaled "to $1M+". In "less than a year" it "already made more than his last exit". The portal had been running about 9 months at the time of the interview (Peter Yang's Behind the Craft, Sep 29, 2024).
