I want you to think about this for a minute. 7.26 billion people in the world own a smart and feature phone. That is 91.54% of the world's population walking around with one of these devices. That is a big number.
If you could make an accessory for smartphones and sell, point one percent(.1%) of the smartphone owners the product for $5, you would make 37.5 million dollars. In 2018 Apple announced that it had topped a trillion-dollar market cap. Apple had a revenue of $275 billion in 2021. That's almost enough to live on.
If you start a company and your market capital chart looks like the one below you have a pretty good chance of staying in business. Your expenses would have to be pretty radical to wipe out 2.75 trillion. The US government has no problem spending that much but a CEO would be toast if he allowed a his company to spend like the government.
This tilting smartphone stand is cut from 1/4" Baltic birch plywood. You will also need a 1/4" 20 x 1 3/4" bolt. Two washers and a wingnut to fit the bolt.
If you earn 37.5 million dollars selling these on Etsy to that .1% of the worlds population could you cut me in for a $5 donation? If that is too much I understand. Times are tough. 😁
