Foldable Stand
A better way to have a desk to work anywhere.
I have managed to sell two pdfs.
It's not much money (and you have to take out the taxes and payment gateway fees), but it's a validation that people are willing to pay for the assembly instructions.
Now I have to figure out how to reach more people.
I discard the idea of manufacturing the product. It's too much work, too little margin and I don't have time for it. I prefer to program as a web developer than to cut cardboard and manage mailings.
After almost two months, and little time available for this ...
I have modified the landing, added affiliate links to amazon, created an instruction pdf and set up a paddle so people can pay for that pdf.
The project is now 100% digital. I am selling the instructions, not the finished product.
Seeing that it has gone viral, I quickly create a landing page and buy a domain.
Result: nobody leaves me their email address.
A disaster. It does not serve as validation.
I start thinking about whether it makes sense to make it and sell it or not...
Working at the coworking in Tallinn a guy comes up to me and asks me where I bought this portable desk. I tell him that I made it myself, and he takes some pictures.
I think to myself that if he likes it others might like it. I post it on twitter and level retweets it and it goes more viral than expected.
