When You Have a Hammer, All Challenges Look Like Nails

One of my most successful products sold on my ebay store, Holyland Treasury, is a set of Langding Gear for dji quadcopter:




These legs were developed by Hanan, a 3D printing guru who is also in love with quadcopters. He knows how to 3D print, I know how to sell online - cooperation makes lots of sense to both parties.

And... we started to ask ourselves "what else to print and sell?" In other words, what the world need and we can imagine and produce? So here is the catch: virtually, we can print anything, but what is the object which is a true cure for a real pain?... Not an easy question. Suddenly, we find ourselves withno answer. We really don't know what are the paains we can answer.

Currently, the only answer we came up with, is a holder for a thermic cup than can be attached to bicycle and to be sold with the cup.

I wonder if anyone is actually looking for such a solution?!?

Selling Online is a Tricky Business

I'm selling kufiya by Hirbawi for almost 2 years now. My ebay store sales are not bad... but I hardly find my items via google. (Hey! buy some SEO consultency!)

Today, I found that the rest of the world is looking for KEFFIYEH, not KUFIYA. So, while other were buying some cheap chinese KEFFIYEH, I was selling really good stuff, almost secretly (-:

I revised my listings as fast as I could on all 3 sites: my ebay store, my amazon store and on my own Holyland Treasury store.

Now, i have to wait and see if I don't end up with 1000 "stronger" search results instead of being the king of my (small) neighborhood
