    A Little Air - An Introduction from LA & A Thank You

    Btw, do you mind sharing a bit about what films you have worked on, or what kinds of effects you've done that we may have seen in movies? I've always been fascinated with special effects and CGI work. :) Thanks.

    Beverage Company Idea

    IDEA 
    Lol.... no shit. Way to bump a 2 1/2 year old thread, and spam the forum with new beverage threads out of the blue. :)

    How many of you idiots want to give me money?

    GOLD! INVESTING 
    ...and just imagine how many more people wouldn't even think about due dilligence if you were asking for lower numbers. (Naturally, the more you ask for upfront, the more skeptical *some* of the people would be). But instead of $100k or $1M, you could amass even more "investors" even quicker...

    Creative ways to marketing niche book

    MARKETING 
    Kindle is great, like CigarMan suggested. You could also try the bit-torrent route like Tim Ferris recently did with one of his books: basically have a brief 'teaser' version of the book (maybe the 1st chapter) available as a free download spread across p2p download sites to entice people to get...

    Eskil's Progress Thread: Starting a Supplement Business from Scratch

    EXECUTION 
    Not at all. Most manufacturers I talked to have this covered.

    Hmm no, not at the top of my head but I'm sure you can find something by searching Amazon or Google. Maybe some smaller mom and pop shop packaging companies can also provide you with affordable, small quantity sample sized pouches.

    Eskil's Progress Thread: Starting a Supplement Business from Scratch

    EXECUTION 
    Quick update here at the end of the week since everybody else is updating their progress threads too :) Well, my manufacturer is now delayed yet again on when they said they will have the first bottles shipped to me. They're now over 2 weeks late so I'm getting a bit anxious. Communication is...

    Yikes, yeah like I thought - those sample packs aren't as cheap to make as one would think. To go the DIY route, you could get something like these: Amazon.com: Capsule Connection, CAPSULE FILLER MACHINE FOR SIZE "0": Health & Personal Care Amazon.com: (5 Scoops) Micro Milligram Scoops 12 - 15...

    Here's a tip for wanna-be SEO experts

    MARKETING 
    Indeed. I have been shocked time and again to learn how little small and even medium sized businesses know about how the internet works (in terms of company/site visibility). Yeah to most of us here, e-mails like those are just annoying and ridicilous - but I know companies who have fallen...

    Yeah sample sized products isn't a bad idea at all, especially for products where you can feel the effect quickly. But keep in mind too that the packaging and printing of each sample size isn't exactly free, so you might be looking at like $1-$1.50 give or take for each.

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Yes pretty much just that :) How much of profits you want to share is up to you, but as magneto pointed out earlier - the most important thing isn't to make profits from day one, but rather to see if these will be flying off the shelves, or if they will be a bust (which, in this case I doubt)...

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I think you will find that getting small convenience stores, gas stations, or smoke shops to test them for you could be easier than you think. If you go into these types of retail locations, you will see all kinds of crazy stuff sitting near the cash register - where people make impulse buys. In...

    8 Eyewear: From Idea, to Launch, to Growth (And Quitting the Job)

    IDEA 
    That book (22 Immutable Laws of Branding) is very good. I just started reading it this week and already got some good ideas, and do's and don'ts. :)

    First, shop around some more for other manufacturer who could give you a lower MOQ. You could tell them you're willing to pay them a little extra per bottle at first - in return for doing a smaller test run for you. Some manufacturers will do this if you let them know you are serious. Jason K's...

    Thanks for sharing this. Always inspirational to hear about guys like this, and especially to see that they had their start on a forum just like any of us. And I'm sure - to the mass media and the rest of the "99%", this guy will be a "lucky, overnight success" (event, not process)...lol

    Very good, thanks. If you've settled on particular brands for these that you feel work best - feel free to share them here too.

    Vitamins????

    Interesting.. care to share a little bit more about these? (I know I can Google them, but I rather hear it from someone I trust vs. sifting through sometimes questionable and SEO'd articles on all the benefits) ;)
