    You know, when I created this thread, I was ready for a "This sucks, that sucks, you suck." I was also ready for a couple, "Try this, maybe it will work" or "Just keep at it" I don't know why I, but I wasn't expecting the specificity and time investment that these responses have in them. Or the...

    Ha! Kind of the Anti-PR guy! Great thought Integrity. Thanks.

    Steve, thanks man. I think the promo party is something I'm going to get going. The photos I have on there are iPhone 5 and the concensus has been that they aren't good enough. I may be able to get better lighting and see if that fixes it somehow.

    "The logo is pixelated" If I'm going to convince people to use a product they've never heard of, that goes on their skin and may harm them, they have to believe that I'm not a meth addict putting together a product in my kitchen with the same lab equipment I used to make my meth. I can only do...

    Deki_mal, I agree. I need more visual stimulation to get my product across. I need those visuals to convey quality, but also that this is not a sticker tattoo and that you will be drawing your own tattoo. As for models, no way I can afford to pay models to agree to not only be photographed, but...

    Jon, Yes! That is what I need. Something like that. I also think I need to keep myself OFF of camera. I don't look like someone that would put people at ease about buying a new product that they've ever heard of. My 16 year old daughter has volunteered to do video talking if I need it and I...

    Coalission and Bigguns, thanks for the vote of confidence, but it's just a byproduct of the beard. Beards make everyone look bad a$$. If I shaved it you'd see that I'm actually 5'9 and 125lbs.

    Coalission, Great ideas. I live in a military town (Fayetteville, NC), but we do get plenty of festivals and such. Also, I'm a veteran, so getting on base during MWR stuff would be no problem. I think I'm going to go both ways. I can't go the retailers route though. This is made from a plant, so...

    Mike39, you're absolutely right man. I need to educate my customer WHILE keeping their attention. It's going to have to be very visual. I don't think this is going to be possible without dropping some dollars on professional pictures, professional video and editing, and professional web design...

    Biophase, the fact that you asked that question tells me a lot about my page. It's $4.99. I wanted to make sure that the customer knew the whole time so there were no surprises so I inserted it (rather clumsily) on the top bar of the website. I had a feeling it couldn't be seen.

    SeanKelly, That movie was hilarious. "Not even one letter?" I am trying to convey the idea of no regrets (as a permanent tattoo may leave regrets). I'm not married to the name, so if I get a lot of negative feedback, it's early enough to change it. Bigguns, thanks for the encouragement! I think...

    That's extremely helpful. Thanks Integrity. I'm definitely staying away from ads right now. I will work on picture quality. I may be able to pay for a few professional pictures. I'm going to have to figure out the balance between photos and educating.

    Not harsh Tafy. Honest. I appreciate honesty. It was much worse earlier today, before I started getting advice from this forum. I absolutely have $40, but I looked around for Shoppify web design and the going the average project rate was $1500. Can't come close to that. Never heard of fiverr...

    Profit, I think I'm going to stay away from adwords for now. I need to fix my bounce rate and conversion rate before I start paying for ads. I'll try other means of driving traffic until I start doing a better job of selling.

    AllenCrawley, home page. Tafy, I appreciate the advice, but it falls outside of the contextual parameters I set. "Secondly, I have very little money to use right now. I am just a thread on a shoe string :)"

    Niftyg, Thanks man. Working on the logo, margins and menu will take me much longer than changing the title. Like I said, I have no programming ability at all. I have a video of NogretZ in action, I will work on adding a few more pictures of it in action today. I sent out 20 samples to friends...

    Profit, thanks for the help. that is my complete campaign right there. The keyword phrases were "Henna tattoo" and "Temporary tattoos". I have A LOT to learn about advertising. I did try a facebook ad, but it was for page likes. I recieved 120 "likes" in 2 days, but haven't been able to convert...
