The Internet is a Great Place to Buy and Sell Weird Stuff
Why didn’t I think of that
I struggle to find ideas to write about, so I bought a book on producing ideas. I read the short book in a few days. One thing the author wrote that resonated with me. He wrote that the reader should buy some index cards and write down things that he found interesting.
There are many things online that are interesting, and because I’m always short of money. People making bank online are particularly interesting to me. Especially when what they are selling doesn’t exist.

A consumer with money to spend and very little sense, can go online and buy digital toilet paper. At the time I read the article, a roll of non-existent toilet paper was going for $ 4,100.
People with too much money, and not enough sense
I don’t know what people are thinking. Someone else is selling digital perfume. The developers used neon Infrared spectroscopy to scan the packaging, the bottle, and the fragrance. The molecular wavelengths of “ Cyber Eau de Parfum” sold as an NFT for $18,000.
A former glamor model sells ear candling devices online. the video rolls as she lies down. Her boyfriend lights one end of the candle, while she holds the device with the hot candle to her ear. After several minutes, she pulls a huge gob of wax from her ear.
It would be fascinating, in a gross way
Dr. Sandra Lee has a thriving online business. A customer can buy skincare products and other merchandise. She built her business by videotaping cysts and pimple removals. She is known as Dr. Pimple Popper.
My personal favorite, one I wish I had thought of, A woman in Connecticut, is soon to be a millionaire. To date, she has made 200,000 selling her farts.
I bet she’s having a gas
She farts in the jars and sells them online. She ruined her diet by eating foods that promoted farting. She ended up in the hospital, so now she sells virtual farts as NFTs.
She sold 1,000 virtual farts for $ 200.00 each. She is getting rich by selling farts online that don’t exist. Virtual digital tokens that represent a woman’s fart in a jar.
Now, why didn’t I think of that?
I read these articles and shook my head. I’m struggling to get by on my monthly disability checks. I wrack my brains how I can profit from the Internet, but I come up empty.
People like this make the Internet interesting, I hope more people take advantage of it and find weird things to sell. I hope to join the ranks of entrepreneurs someday. As long as it doesn’t involve selling bodily functions.
Final thought:
Never underestimate the gullibility of people, People will pay to watch anything, and they will buy unreal stuff because they can.
