Toilet Paper and Internet Marketing

6 replies
Yep a definite match.

Who woulduv thought it,
people are searching for it online and a lady sells it to them
here in N.Z.

In my gmail account today, which is the primary one for my business
selling point of sale receipt paper rolls, was an ad selling toilet paper.

Intrigued, I clicked on it.

Delving deeper inside I discovered she found there were 2,000 searches
for toilet paper on Google in N.Z. every month and set up a website to sell it.
She sourced it locally and gives the names of suppliers.

It's a business that could be swiped.

The strange thing is, there is hardly any searchers online for what I sell,
yet every shop, retailer, hospitality place uses what I sell.

Have you found anything kind of weird being searched for and sold online?

Best,
Ewen

        Thank you Charles.

        You never know who or how you effect others.

        Many are those you have never recognized untill they make themselves known,
        like yourself.

        I was at a Meetup group for internet marketers this evening.
        I'm seeing lots of newish people to this world looking for help.

        There's something really special about these people.

        After they see me again they come up to me and tell others in the group
        I'm really good.

        Great feeling and keeps me going back.

        They ask me what I'm doing now and I tell them,
        I've walked away from internet marketing because I wanted a new challenge.

        I think they like that I get to the heart of their struggles and have an unbiased
        point on where their next move should be.

        Thank you for stopping by and making yourself known.

        Best,
        Ewen

    That is a great little story, I think you will always find a lot of surprising niches to uncover if you dig deep enough. Most are right under your nose until one day they finally hit you!
    Like I said nice little story and it shows that it pays to have an eye for details.
