    Pricing, Market Research & Bad Reactions

    MARKETING 
    My product it's self isn't something revolutionary, but it is a a great product. If I can't get more information I'm running with my 50% margin for the retailer.

    Getting Product into Store Checklist

    I am in the process of launching my first product and getting it right into stores. I have never done anything like this before. After some pilot runs of internet advertising I have come to the conclusion that people want a selection and not a single item, which made me think of the B&M store...

    Adult Friendly CPM/CPC... That are not porn.

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I was wondering if anybody knows of any traffic buying websites that are 'adult friendly' that aren't necessarily porn or 'adult' networks. I'm not promoting anything crude, but is classified as adult, stopping me from promoting on Facebook. something that caters to the ladies. Any ideas?

    Burning Your Boat VS Playing it Safe

    HOT! MINDSET 
    It would more be along the lines of going all in at marketing and building websites to fund the fast lane venture better. I could make tons more and I could also crash and burn. One can argue I could double dip but it just saps all the energy I have out of me. Maybe I'm just making excuses...
