    I'm no Bio as well, but yes you can. You can certainly get samples made for $500 or less. I got mine made for 1/5 that price. After getting samples made, go get a small batch, and test the market. Or you can go the presale route. A lot of way to maneuver around the battlefield. You have...

    Thanks for your input. That was my concern. If you have different names for all product niches then you would have many Amazon accounts to ensure the names match up. I also have been studying this outside of this thread. I like Bio's approach because it seems organic. Improve a product and...

    Hey Bio, If you have several niches, ranging from say kitchenware to athletic shoes, what would be the benefit of having their own separate names as oppose to falling under one big name? If that sounded confusing, why not just call everything Biophase? Biophase pan, Biophase basketball shoes...

    Hey Bio, What are your thoughts on buying/modifying items with minor electronic/electrical components from manufacturers in China? Minor being say a cup warmer that plugs into a USB port. The concerns would be sub-par quality and I believe if it contains batteries, it may be restricted (not...

    Very cool concept. Nothing beats a presale. Since it's B2B...do you just Google for firms that may be interested in buying your products and sell them to the public? As a noob, I see that may be something that takes a bit of maneuvering.

    Yo Anthony! Damn. That's a great intro. We definitively need to link up before the trip though. I need to hear more of your stories. The grind is respected, my brother. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    By due diligence, I meant you studying how product X is made, find ways to improve it, and say launch in 2 months from now to help keep things moving along. Since you came from an engineering background, I thought this may play a factor since engineers typically demand the product to be perfect...

    Hey Bio, How do you determine that you've done enough research before just launching your product? Do you have a set date and launch it whether or not you feel you've done enough due diligence? What would you do in this situation? I found a product I want to improve upon. I emailed a couple...

    Do you only do this with manufacturers you have built relationships with? Is there any measure you take with a new supplier? Granted the first orders will be of low quantities. I would figure PayPal fees may be worth it in case you need to dispute a transaction. In regards to your thought...

    Funny you mentioned that. I do listen to Podcasts, usually during my drive to/from work..good way to kill 45 mins to 1 hour. A lot of them suggest to stay with products around $50-100, obviously going for higher volume here. In your friend's case...he would be an outlier and would be more...

    I may be having a brain fart here, but how did funding your first order with a credit card tie in with PayPal fees? I know they take a cut when you take a payment if the sender didn't mark as personal, but I only use it sparingly so I may be missing something. (PS starting with $1,500 isn't...

    Infinite rep, Kenric. Can't wait to hear you drop some more gems in Feb. at the event. Back at the mid way point of the thread, you mentioned about seeing the long goal and compare to NBA player blowing out his knee or something of that nature. When you first started, did you say to yourself...

    Hey Kenric, I read the thread in its entirety a while back, and been reading new posts and revisiting old ones here and there. Apologies if some of these questions were already answered or if I got some of the info confused. You have a master's in engineering, how did you get into...

    It's awesome that I already know my roommate and myself have so much in common! We are set...synchronized our flight times and all. Truly looking to meeting everyone. I don't really post/browse on this board unless I'm on my laptop...that way I can really focus and read the posts and take the...

    My hat goes off to the OP for being a hustler at such an early age. In regards to getting someone to do the physical job for these fields: Mobile car detailing, Maid service, Landscaping, and Painting houses. How do you deal with labor laws, and such? At the very least every state has to...

    Great post, Ben. It's a shame I just found this now because there are a couple coming up next week...can't take off work that soon sadly. Also, very surprisingly Los Angeles has nothing! Gotta go a few (or 50+ miles south) for the two on there.

    Hi all, I see there are other meeting threads for SoCal already, but they are segregated by different areas. I'm not sure if this idea will catch on, but since there are so many places to eat/drink at in SoCal as a whole...it would be awesome to have a monthly meeting (or every other month...

    Yes! Uber was super affordable when I was there. Granted I only used it to travel a few miles to bars/lounges at night, it was less than $5 per trip. Same situation with Los Angeles...Uber will drop you off, but you have to be off airport 'property' to get picked up. Lyft doesn't even...
