Remember when your teacher told you "There's never a dumb question" well she was right. I bet you never asked her if there were dumb ideas, because her response would have been "F*ck yes there are plenty of dumb ideas!"..... Well, she might not have said it exactly like that lol.
A dumb idea can be profitable online if you target the right (dumb) people. If you're selling a cat leash so you can walk your cat outside, it's a dumb idea, but someone will buy it. The majority of cats, probably 99.9% of them, don't like to be on a leash because they're free spirits and do what they want. So putting a leash on them will annoy the sh*t out of them and they'll just flail around like they're stuck in a bear trap. But I'm sure if you go on Google right now and type in "Cat Leash" there will be hundreds of different types from various companies for sale. You can probably get one with rhinestones on it if you want to be classy/flashy lol.
The idea for this discussion didn't come up when I was thinking of dumb cat leashes, the idea of it started when I saw someone mailing potatoes to customers. People are actually paying a website to write, or print, a message on a potato and mail it to themselves, a friend or a colleague. I'm sure there are plenty of purchases through this website specifically for sending potatoes to someone a person got in a secret santa at work lol.
The websites I'm talking about, and I hate that I'm about to share it, is potatoparcel.com. I'm not even going to link to them because it's such a dumb idea, so just copy and past the URL into your search bar lol.
This company allows you to write a custom message on a potato and send it wherever you want. If you want to get fancy, you can even have the screen print a picture onto the potato, for an additional fee of course. These damn potatos even sell for upwards of $15 a piece wtf! I like how it shows "As seen on Shark Tank" like they were some big hit and they really just got laughed off set by the investors.
So if you ever think that your idea is dumb, just remember that someone is dumb enough to buy a potato with their message on it for $15 lol. They could literally go to the store and buy 10 potatoes for $4, a sharpie for $2 and then write on their own potatoes...
Lol, thanks for reading

If you're selling a cat leash so you can walk your cat outside, it's a dumb idea, but someone will buy it.You better believe it! Do you remember in the skype group chat I said I saw a woman today in town who was walking a cat on a leash! I don't know if she actually purchased that leash from an actual cat leash supplier lol or whether it was just a dog leash that she was using with her cat. The point is, it's often these what seem like ridiculous ideas that take off and do so well. Everyone mocked the send your enemy glitter website at first but they got so many orders for glitter that they spawned a hundred of these sites and now you are basically spoilt for choice in who to use to send glitter to your enemies with lol.

I thought my website for getting a custom made 3D printed mobile case was a pretty dumb idea after I launched it but never got any sales for a while. It took a couple of months of advertising and promotion and then the sales started rolling in. I eventually flipped that site in the end as it wasn't making a lot of sales and I never had the time to maintain it, carry on the promotion and handle doing the orders. But afterwards, I started seeing all these other sites popping up that were based on my idea to get a custom 3D printed mobile case.
It just goes to show though that any idea, no matter how silly it might seem, can seem perfectly good to somebody lol :)

Anything is possible in this world the silliest thought in your mind could be a good one or maybe a dumb one but hey some are making a profit of them. Anyway good post Razzy Mate. Great post now I must say this is something totally different. When I clicked on your discussion I didn't think it be about cat leashes or potato LOL. But you are right the dumbest things in the world can make you money or even inventions. The other year I saw on TV a few dumb invention's for example a shed which was a car lol or stupid things which some people do want . Anything is possible in this world the silliest thought in your mind could be a good one or maybe a dumb one but hey some are making a profit of them. Anyway good post Razzy Mate.
