    Are you going to manufacturer domestically or overseas? Be carful with the claims you market and list on the label. Dietary supplements are fairly easy to sort out with FDA. Any medicinal claims throw you into a different realm of FDA.

    Find someone in that space and go work for them for a bit and learn everything you can. Take whatever they are willing to pay you. If they aren't willing to pay, then be an apprentice. You aren't looking to make a living of off them, you are there for a "free" or "paid" education.

    Hello Sebastya, The short answer is yes. Cold calls, knocking on doors, generating leads, networking, etc. These "old school" methods are still effective as long as you are consistent and persistent
