    I will definitely check out the Jeff Walker book. I develop products as part of my actual job, but our distribution channels are already solidified. This eCommerce stuff is new for me. I'm confident in my ability to identify problems and find an innovative solution, but getting the word out...

    I did try a landing page earlier in the year (landingcube) but didn't have much succcess. Drove a few people to the page but wasn't able to get them past the landing page to the amazon page. Most of my success getting them to the landing page was from facebook ads. I tried youtube ads too but...

    Good to hear I'm not the only one in this niche! I've done some PPC but only had a handful of sales come from it. I think a lot of people are interested in my product but they don't have a house with the construction that the product requires. So I am basically wasting money driving them to...

    Thanks for the prompt @FitRay ... Here is a little update. I've still been selling pretty steadily over the course of the year. I've pretty much stopped advertising as I haven't had much success with it. All of my sales are organic through amazon, meaning I have no idea about the customer...

    Finding Skilled Labor for Making Hardware Prototypes

    Does anyone have experience finding someone to machine, weld, etc. for making physical prototypes? I'm currently looking for an experienced machinist who can help me makes some cuts for a prototype I am working on. My product is a piece of exercise equipment that I am hoping to make in a more...

    Soft Proof and Prototype

    One software to look into is Freecad. It's an opensource CAd design software I've used for my 3D printing models. Also would recomend the Prusa line of 3D printers if you go that route. Don't try to buy one in the $200 range beccause youll end up spending all your time troubleshooting instead...

    Time for a little update. The product sold fairly well through the holidays. I am making decent margins on the 1-pack variation but the 4-pack is where I am really doing well. I have sold more four packs in fact that I have sold 1's. The problem is, my reviews are all on the single...

    Facebook ads are back up and running. Had a decent week this week but might be running into an issue. The Amazon money is tied up. I have around $500 is profit (amazon profit) this month but am only being distributed $150 on the 18th. It will barely cover my costs. Does anyone have...

    Update: Facebook has deactivated my facebook ads privileges because of "suspicous" activity. Whatever that means! On the bright side, I did get another sale today. That will help. I am on the verge of being profitable for the month. Still need a few more months of sales at this level to...

    The facebook ad has finally converted. First sale since I started them. Here are my stats so far. I am considering doing a second ad with a different description and see which one get more clicks. The glaring problem I am seeing now is that I am sending people to amazon but don't know if...

    This is quickly turning into a progress thread. Unfortunately, no sales since last week but I have a couple of facebook ads running now, starting to grow the facebook page for the company as well. I'm still running the amazon PPC but it has failed to convert thus far. I'm getting very few...

    Product video is complete! So I started facebook ads today. I am sending people to my amazon page directly but also think it will help grow my facebook product page. I will let you all know how it goes. Keeping the budget low at $3/day to see where that gets me.

    Well. Everything is pretty much on hold for another couple days. I had a video produced on Fiverr and still waiting on edits to come back. That should help a ton when I start facebook ads. Hopefully the strategy of using Facebook alone for generating my audience scares me a bit and definitely...

    I haven't updated in awhile but things are going fine. I have sold around 10 of the items so far. No thanks to Amazon PPC, which has yielded no results after around 30 clicks. I think the sales are related to posts I've made on facebook groups and organic sales through amazon. Good news is...

    Lost item finding Ai camera

    I have some experience with these AI products using cameras at my day job. I would suggest finding a specific application or object with which to track. A general tracker is going to take a lot of training and your accuracy will suffer

    Glad you are enjoying it! Yes, it's intended for an unfinished basement, most modern homes (last 20 years) would be compatible. What piqued my interest in facebook was the microtargeting, I can target people who just moved, for example. I do not think it would work in most garage gyms, but I...

    Dude, love it! Yes I think I will need to go the facebook route. I think testing the market for something like this on amazon is not going to be as quick and dirty as I thought it would be. Totally understand the concept from a SW standpoint (day job), so I like that approach. Definitely can...

    I ended up holding off on the facebook ads for now. I wanted to see if I can get some sales, which I expect would increase after I get some reviews. Although currently it is not looking good for the PPC route. 21 clicks with no sales so far. I am thinking a curated advertisement such as...
