    Critique my tea website

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I like the overall feel of the site- simple not cluttered and it is certainly in keeping with the current view of tea as a some Zen medicine for the mind and body. Personally not a big fan of the first tag line -I think it is the direct reference to kidney - too medical to draw me in. - Azule...

    Soft Launch Direction Needed - Your Advice?

    Thank you for the comment. I guess the next step is defining the minimum viable product. I would love to say it was a SAAS, but nothing as involved. The basic premise is a niche blog that I can develop into a community forum with a significant social network element and gamification. A simple...

    Really need your advice

    I address this ype of argument quite frequently in my slow lane life. The best place to start is by putting all the relevant data down on paper (spreadsheet etc) and see how it looks. Part of this depends on where start. If you have a product in mind you can readily workout how many units you...

    agree totally. I know from my own personal experience that a change of diet and lifestyle can have profound effects within a relatively short time (4wk). As with the MFL, the first step is changing your mindset- be open to alternatives that might be better than the traditional model.

    Does any one have experience with setting up a niche social network? If so any suggestions as to the best software? I have been looking at the Buddypress pluging for wordpress but do not have any direct experience of this or other options such a Ning etc. Any comments would be appreciated.

    Getting my Ducks in a Row - Product Launch in immanent

Designs right /Copy right and trademarks can be...

    How do I start an affiliate marketing program?

    MARKETING 
    I have seen similar problems in my slow lane life: a good product/ price but not realising potential sales because no-one knows about it. It comes down to marketing as you have identified. However, there are business models offer than affiliate marketing that could generate revenue from the...

    The fashion chain French Connection UK have been playing this games for years with the FCUK campaign without much complaint. Not a fan of this myself but shows how careful you need to be. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Making it better: A snuggie analogy

    New to this forum so please excuse any poor etiquette. Getting a patent will help in the USA/Europe if needed. However, it wont stop a Chinese manufacturer copying a great product and would prove very difficult/ expensive to enforce. I have seen this first hand. Exported from Europe to Chine for...
