Help my Etsy shop is too successful and I’m scared to fail by not being able to meet demand

I made a product for a hobby and I sell it on Etsy. My shop has been running about a year and I’ve made over 4K sales so far. I sell an original invention and yes, I need to get it patented which is also confusing to me as well. I sell out within minutes, which sounds great however I have started getting messages of people saying they are simply fed up with the unavailability and are simply going to stop trying to purchase. I love the idea of expanding and trying to make this into a company with employees and other products I have ideas for but I’ve never been to business school and simply cannot keep up with the demand by myself. I just have a great invention that works and people love, and don’t know where to go from here. Any help or tips would be appreciated!

A business idea that's been on my mind for a while now - Hydroponic Grocery Store

For about the past year I've had this idea of starting a grocery store where 90%+ of everything sold is grown there in store via hydro/aero/aquaponics. I've already been growing successfully (for myself) for the past 2 years so I know I can produce. The selling points I believe are 1) it would have the freshest produce anywhere in the market and encourage healthier eating, 2) it will reduce transportation, storage, logistics and resource costs and 3) it would benefit the environment be reducing input requirements (see #2). A few concerns I have is it would have heavy upfront costs to purchase all the equipment and get the systems in place, but the costs to maintain supply and inventory would decrease drastically as it is scaled. I'm also unsure how it would stack up against competitors like Walmart and other grocery stores who are already operating groceries at scale and have a ton of resources to back it up. What are your thoughts on this idea and do you think it's viable?

The retail investor frenzy has a new target: silver. Silver futures climbed to levels not seen since 2013 as Reddit-inspired speculators took aim at the commodity. The rally follows a jump in demand for bars and coins. Like the buying stampede in GameStop, the metal's advance can be traced to Reddit's WallStreetBets forum. But silver differs in important ways from stocks like GameStop — for one, the scope for a short squeeze is far less obvious. Link in bio for more.

The richest person in the world says one of his startups has a monkey with wires going into his brain that’s able to play video games. Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, backs numerous other futuristic projects — including Neuralink, a startup focused on developing a brain-computer interface. "He's a happy monkey," said Musk. "We have the nicest monkey facilities in the world. We want them to play mind-Pong with each other." Link in bio.

Finally hit over 1% Conversion rate in a full month

Since I started my shop in Sep 2019 its been a grind, It actually started picking up pretty decent in January 2020 and in to February but then Covid it and I noticed it changing. Since I went from Printful to learning screen-printing myself, and controlling the quality and shipping times Ive noticed a huge increase in interest. I still don't sell enough to make it a full time thing but I enjoy the learning process and getting to know my customers, and I see a lot of them returning which is awesome and since I also increased the quality of the art, it really took off last month. Last year I was sitting at 0.4 - 0.5 in conversion rate but in January at one point I was as high as 1.9%, ended up at 1.44% for the entire January. The grind is real.

Let me know if you guys think this is a good idea

So I want to make a service that fills out job applications for college students and adults. The client will have to tell us what kind of job they want (business, CS) maybe job title as well and location of course. And I will outsource the work to other people. It will probably be like 20 dollars for 200 applications or something like that
