I tried to sell SMC stuff once. Not even my mom would buy anything.
I used to import hermit crabs a long time ago. Do you know how many crabs you have to sell to pay the rent? Too many, trust me!
My parakeet farm failed miserably but I enjoyed raising them.
I wanted to have a traveling monkey show but I only had one monkey and he had no interest in learning tricks. In retrospect that was doomed from the start. lol wtf???
I tried to start a business transferring 8mm and Super 8 movies to DVD but I sidetracked myself and killed it before it could really start. Long story short, thousands of dollars in ads, one sale for $40, sigh.
Countless dumb websites.
On the bright side, I have all of that stuff out of my system and I'm on track now. Too bad it took so long.
So what dumb businesses have you tried?
