5 Weird Stuff You Can Actually Buy Online



Believe it or not, I have tried selling textured paper (namely, paper I have crumpled and then scanned) online. Ever scrolled through online marketplaces and stumbled upon some real head-scratchers?  Here are five things that'll make you raise an eyebrow and maybe even crack a smile.


1. Digital Art of Crumpled Paper: Yep, I've sold photos of textured paper. Some folks are turning crumpled paper into digital art. It's like finding beauty in the crinkles and creases of everyday life. Sure, it sounds a bit out there, but hey, art is subjective, right? Who knows, maybe a crumpled paper masterpiece is just what your digital gallery needs.


2. Cat Pics with Attitude: Cat lovers, rejoice! You can now snag photos of our feline friends making the goofiest faces imaginable. From derpy grins to puzzled looks, these snapshots capture the essence of cat shenanigans. Perfect for spicing up your Instagram feed or giving your walls some purr-sonality.


3. Dog Pics That'll Make You LOL: But wait, dogs want in on the action too! Sellers are peddling pics of pups pulling all sorts of hilarious faces. Think tongue-out poses and bewildered expressions that'll leave you chuckling. Whether you're a dog person or just appreciate a good laugh, these doggo pics are guaranteed to brighten your day.


4. Vintage Goodies: Ever browsed through vintage stuff online and stumbled upon the downright bizarre? We're talking vintage medical gear and retro kitchen gadgets that'll make you do a double-take. It's like stepping into a time machine and discovering a whole new world of quirky treasures. Who knows, maybe that vintage toaster with a mind of its own is just what your kitchen needs.


5. Spooky Stuff: Feeling brave? Dive into the world of haunted dolls and cursed objects. Sellers swear these items are packed with paranormal energy or cursed by spooky happenings. Skeptical? You're not alone. But for those who love a good scare or enjoy a dash of the supernatural, these eerie artifacts are the stuff of legends.


I need not tell you that the internet is a wild place, filled with all sorts of weird and wonderful goodies from oddball people who would sell them. Whether you're into offbeat art, animal antics, vintage oddities, or the occasional ghost story, there's something out there for everyone.

Common and Oddball Niches to Pursue on Amazon KDP

 In my blogs about making money online, I mentioned selling journals and logbooks on Amazon KDP. In some cases, I make journals out of ideas and inspirations I get from my life as a librarian, mother of a young adult, and a restaurateur/party caterer. I may sell the journals myself (selling mined gold) or sell them to people who might want to develop them as their own products on Amazon KDP (selling shovels for others to mine gold with).  If you want to find out more about the latter, here is the link to my Creative Fabrica store:  https://www.creativefabrica.com/designer/ruby-cari-galvez/ref/2135193/ In my brainstorming, I thought of several oddball and common niches that I could develop products around. Here they are... First-Time Homeowner's Planner – Step-by-step guidance and to-do lists for managing house projects, budgeting, and maintenance. Solo Hiking Journal – A log for solo hikers to track routes, wildlife sightings, reflections, and survival tips. Eco-Conscio...

What is Special About a Coming-of-age Novel?

A  coming-of-age novel  has distinct traits that set it apart from other genres, primarily through its focus on personal growth and self-discovery. Here’s what makes it unique:        1.     Focus on Character Development        -     Core Theme:     The central theme of a coming-of-age novel is personal transformation. The protagonist, usually a young person, matures through experiences, gaining insight into themselves and the world.    -     Compared to Other Genres:     While many genres focus on external conflicts (e.g., fantasy battles or mystery puzzles), the coming-of-age novel centers on   internal   conflicts—struggles with identity, morality, and self-understanding.        2.     Transition from Youth to Adulthood        -     Rite of Passage:...

Playtime is Library Time: the Library as a Place of Adventure

When I was a kid, the word “library” meant one thing: boredom. It conjured up images of stuffy silence, stern librarians, and endless shelves of dusty books that seemed more interested in gathering cobwebs than capturing my imagination. Yet, I’ve since learned that this perception couldn’t be more wrong. The library is not a place where fun goes to die; it’s a playground for the mind. So why do we, as adults, so often pass it off as a dreary destination for last-minute study sessions or research marathons? I can’t help but think we’ve done our children a disservice by failing to frame it as what it really is: a place of adventure, discovery, and, yes, play. Imagine for a moment if the library wasn’t treated like a "last resort" when you've exhausted all other options for entertainment. What if, instead, it was seen as a treasure chest waiting to be opened? Each shelf a new map to a far-off land, every book a ticket to a new world where anything is possible? This shift in ...
