    Nutritional Supplement Advice (Amateur Questions About Starting)

    This seems like a pretty solid plan - thank you! I'm pretty certain that I will set up with Shopify once I get the products manufactured. In the meantime, I'm about to check with the laws in my state for establishing a single member LLC and what the specific tax laws are. I'm also looking into...

    Nutritional Supplement Advice (Amateur Questions About Starting)

    Thanks. True, I *do* plan to sell it online first now, and branch out to retailers during that time. My biggest roadblock is that I have absolutely NO connections, but I suppose I am very fortunate to live about 15 minutes from NYC, so I can visit a lot of different places to pitch my product...

    Nutritional Supplement Advice (Amateur Questions About Starting)

    Not too harsh at all, I sincerely appreciate the honesty. I was about to email the supplement seller about stocking my emerging product since the saleswoman was indeed receptive to my offerings, but you're right that I *should* attempt to sell first on my own and establish credibility and...

    Nutritional Supplement Advice (Amateur Questions About Starting)

    This idea is quite new to me. My head is always spinning with projects I want to develop in the near future, but my major hobby has always centered around spending hours reading the latest research on nutrition and longevity. I stumbled upon new research using a unique combination of nutrients...

    Prototype --> Manufacturing --> ? How is inventory and shipping handled?

    Hi, and yes I've been reading this forum for around a week and looked around before I post threads/write replies. I have not seen my questions covered, but if you have, I'll really appreciate it if you could direct me to them. The last thing I want to do is clog up the forum and pester people...

    Prototype --> Manufacturing --> ? How is inventory and shipping handled?

    That's more cheap than I initially thought it would be, so maybe it's not so bad ... if one gets to the point where one NEEDS storage, that is. One more question ... does one also usually need a special packager (like if you need a picture of the product on the package and transparent plastic...

    Prototype --> Manufacturing --> ? How is inventory and shipping handled?

    Thanks for your inspirational post. It seems our most formidable enemies are ourselves. Methods that yield high returns or save a lot of money are usually risks to an extent and I understand that with China. Is having a product produced for a fraction of a worth make it worth it? I'll have to...

    Prototype --> Manufacturing --> ? How is inventory and shipping handled?

    That's true. I didn't mean to sound like I was getting ahead of myself. Still though, if a business meets with a manufacturer and makes their first order, often times the manufacturer will say a minimum order is 250 products or worse ... $1500 of product with could be over a thousand products...

    Prototype --> Manufacturing --> ? How is inventory and shipping handled?

    For people who have small apartments or have small businesses without warehouses to store their hundreds or thousands of product, how do they deal with manufacturing? Similarly, if a business owned by 1 or 2 people, who ships the products if they do not have enough time to ship thousands of...

    What makes it so expensive?

    Wow, congratulations to you! That's very assuring to hear. I hear so many stories where people complain or sometimes boast about spending around 50k just to get their idea and product to the forefront which obviously scares off most working/middle class people with great ideas with limited...

    What makes it so expensive?

    Thanks for your substantive answer! You cleared a lot of things up. Concerning the Nail Pak lady, I understand now. Still, though ... if that were me, I wouldn't dump thousands upon thousands into products. I think I rather allow my customers to wait a month to receive their product as...

    What makes it so expensive?

    Before I ask my question, I'll start this off by saying sorry for how stupid and ignorant I'm going to sound. For the record, I'm really young and just learning about the business world if that helps. Now, I'm wondering why entrepreneurs who build a business around their product have to spend...
