Business ideas sometimes comes from trivial and useless things. Do you still remember Pet Rock business? Initially that idea may be the most bizarre business inspiration ever and would make your forehead frown. But, in fact, the pet rock was successfully penetrate the American market.
Not long ago, this kind of idea began to be invented by many people. One who found it is a young man named Alex Craig.
Believe it or not, this man had a profit of $10,000 per month. Though the business is really underestimated, because he only sells potatoes.
Absolutely, it's not fried potatoes, but really a complete round potatoes with brown leathery skin. Does Alex use magic or may embed some kind of lottery in it? No, he simply repackages these potatoes with a brilliant idea!

Just like the idea of Pet Rock before, the idea of selling potatoes also leading into a mockery by many people, especially Alex's girlfriend. This young man still remembers when his lover said, "You won't be able to sell a potato. This is the stupidest idea I've ever heard. "But the reality is quite extraordinary. The second day after undergoing this business, Alex has successfully earned $2000s in a while. Hmm, apparently mistaken to call this idea "stupid".
Alex himself has been promoting his work to Reddit and got 2000 potato orders in less a month. In May 2015, Alex has consistently pocketed $10,000. Anyway, what made this man's potatoes became so viral and well-sold anyway?
Actually it's very simple even not many people can't guess what he did. He just wrote a message on top of the potatoes and then send it to the address you want, that's all. In essence, this potato is just as a message mediator.
Perhaps because of Alex's method is unique and also his good handwriting, a lot of people interested to order.

Alex realized if the message's model is more likely to be striking, than an instant chat or similar. He said that these potatoes have touched the lives of many people in a unique way.
Just imagine, when you have someone to be loved, and you send her/him a potato with unique message, he/she will surely be surprised, but a second later would smile happily. Moreover if you include the name underneath. Well, this kinds of emotional things are what Alex wants to achieve. Hmm, smart enough eh?

Alex classified the price of his potatoes based on the size and word count. He sold at a price of $8, for medium size which fits 100 word characters. For the larger sizes, he priced it $10. These potatoes can be sold through social media, first the customer transfers the money, then Alex sending the potato(es) to the destination address.

If it's just writing on top of the potato, every person can do it right?However, Alex also integrates his beautiful writing when packing the potatoes. So, there will be no failure message unreadable.
Well, the idea is quite interesting right? In many place, people hasn't think of something like this. Maybe you can try and get the same success story as Alex. Especially if you are good at drawing, it would be a unbeatable potato message and can be priced at a great price.
Alex still quite remember when the lover laughed at the idea first. Now this 24-year-old man can raise his jaw, proving that his idea wasn't stupid, while going to the bank getting money from thousands of his customers.
