    [PROGRESS THREAD] Starting a Food Business

    EXECUTION 
    Speed+ for a nice writeup and a firm plan of action. One question I have is how you will handle shelf life / expiration of the product. I know every food manufacturer deals with this obviously but, I'm just curious of how your approach will be on it. I have a friend who for a while was thinking...

    EXECUTION 
    I've been pondering a few different options lately actually. I haven't looked at Amazon shipping yet. Yeah $2.25 sounds about right for what I figured as well.

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

    EXECUTION 
    You can get started for less than $5k. I spent considerably less than that even, but that is also because I wanted to start with a very small test batch to begin with. The reason being that my product is something new and untested in the market and I didn't want be too much into it money-wise in...

    EXECUTION 
    Not much more than me still getting things ready for when I get my shipment. I heard back from the manufacturer this morning, and they said they would have my product ready for me by the end of next week. :)

    This issue is somewhat divided. The thing is that if the brand wants to protect anyone else from using their brand name in ads - they have the rights to tell Google to prevent that from happening. They must prove to Google that they are the rightful trademark owners of the name, and Google in...

    I use just Google Analytics for the most part these days, but I was also an avid user of Tracking202 for a few years. That is still a good tool, especially for quick testing of new campaigns, and for A/B split-testing. It's up to the last-second accurate - whereas GA can give you delayed...

    As LightHouse pointed out - it is correct that new ads are given an initial score and then given a brief "tryout" period. The most important factor for your QS however is going to be your keyword VS ad copy VS landing page relevancy. QS is essentially Google's way of grading your ad based on how...
