Default I dont want to sell t-shirts

Assalam Alaikum friends,

So i'm wanting to use my website, that i previously launched as an ads service, for selling something online. The website has started attracting good traffic which was my first target, now iI'm planning to target a niche store for Pakistan only, it could be bakras but that wont run throughout the year.

I'm having serious thoughts about selling stuff people shy away from buying off regular stores on my side of the pond, like the erotic apparels married couples might want to buy for bedroom.

Any suggestions?

Well if you go into an Erotic apparell direction be careful not to comprimise your personal biases in order to turn a prophet. Get you wife to pick out the female things and a female to deal with that side of things.

Also you'd need ot find a reputable supplier.

I thought everybody in Pakistan bought lingerie from men anyway.

Okay, if you're thinking of apparel specifically, you could take a cue from HijabMan's book: HijabMan: HijabMan's Secret: Perfect For Valentine's Day! C'mon, they're hilarious. But duh, make your own. Don't steal his ideas.

What other things do people in Pakistan prefer to buy online?

Make a list and we can get a better idea of what it is you could sell.

No no no, I dont want you guys to suggest me what sensual apparels I should put for sale.

Just pass on ideas about other items that I could target.

Thanks.

I had to read your post twice to understand it properly. First I thought, how would selling sexy short dresses make me a prophet, upon reading it again I realized that you meant 'profit'.

Oookay sir...

Crocs (Crocs - Home). I bet there'll be a huge market for them

they're sure getting more stylish:

I had to read this three times to make sure I was properly comprehending what you are saying. Wow. Just wow.

On a serious note, I was going shopping once in Pakistan and we walked past one of these sort of stores, and the stuff they had on display was truly hilarious/gaudy.
