I made a sample and sold it quickly, but still skeptical. Is there enough feedback?

Hey guys.

I came up with a simple idea, took a simple product and added a funny text on it. I received the sample a couple days ago, posted in the FB marketplace and today I received a message and a person wants to buy it. I will send it to her tomorrow.

When I had this idea, I thought it has pretty much potential. My plan was to make 3-4 different texts and start in my home country, then move outside and make the text in some other languages too. I love humour and want to make people laugh with this. But then I started doubting again because the product itself is quite random.. When I got the message today I was really surprised and happy though. Also the post on FB got a lot of laughing emotions. But that doesn't mean anything, right..?

I haven't seen anything quite like my product before. I had to work to get it done and learned new skills along the way. I am in Estonia so it's possible to start here, then maybe slowly make the same product in finnish and latvian etc. and in the meantime also in English and sell it on Amazon. The scale is there, but it's also not very difficult for others to start the same thing. But I shouldn't worry about others, right?

If the first sale is already in the bag, maybe there's something in it? Could it be that I provide enough value just with a funny text?
