-===== Cobra Craft Wands =====
+Moved to [[art:Wand Business]]
-{{ pocket_wand.png?256|Josh with a wand in his pocket}}Josh runs a handcrafted wand business which he conducts through his online store, Cobra Craft Wands. More of an autistic fixation that amuses viewers than a legitimate business, Josh's venture has garnered attention and sales primarily amongst his YouTube followers via the Etsy online marketplace.
-===== The Wand Crafting Process =====
-Josh creates wands using materials that are often found or repurposed. They are always made out of wood sourced from sticks found locally on the ground. They are typically painted, and occasionally have random trinkets or garbage attached that Josh found eye-catching.
-===== Business Operations =====
-Josh typically announces available wands directly on his YouTube channel, as this is his main method of communicating with his fanbase. For instance, he listed two specific wands for sale on Cobra Craft Wands' Etsy site in one such video. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8zlWJnIe_c&t=10s|Wands for sale]] He also uses his channel to announce sales, like a separate instance where he informed viewers that a recent batch of 11 wands had been put up for sale and swiftly sold out. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53OQuILqgak&t=-3s|wands sold]]
-Reflective of his generally disorganized demeanor, Josh's marketing strategies are rather informal and closely tied to his YouTube presence. He often shares updates about his wand craft, highlighting the success and quick sell-out times of his homemade products. Successful sales are mentioned with enthusiasm, suggesting good turnover and customer interest. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nio-8OKAgk8&t=588s|cigar review]]
-In spite of the fact that he is only selling sanded, painted sticks, Josh has incorporated his wand business into his delusions of grandeur, believing that people know him around town as a "professional wand maker." [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aG6iMGZMeqU&t=806s|night video]]
-Josh's delusions of grandeur are reinforced by his viewer base always buying them, no matter how ridiculous of an offering the wands are. In one instance, he decided to sell a batch of 5 wands for $420 ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USYBpKFWuc8&t=254s|Bug Bowl]]) or a batch of 11 wands, which sold out immediately ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JenguByjFsY&t=947s|Fan mail]])
-===== Recent updates =====
-In the recent months and years, as Josh's mental and physical health have declined and he struggles to maintain a good relationship with landlords, his wand business has declined. Josh rarely talks about selling wands anymore, but viewers continue to send superchats on his YouTube videos, indicating that stopping his wand business hasn't harmed his income much.
