A marketing idea that I'm scared of

[klix]

I've been pounding my head thinking how am I gonna promote my product. It's a physical product that most men in the world could use.

I've made prototypes / at home versions of it, and have been trying to sell them (unsuccessfully.)

Just this morning I was kinda depressed on how am I gonna sell this shit? I've come so far, I just need to sell one. I can't give up without selling one, and I've been feeling desperate.

You might accuse me of having bipolar or whatever, but I don't think so, I'm making this post to highlight the emotional rollercoasters entrepreneurialism is known for.

I have a marketing idea I am scared / excited of because of the demand it likely will generate. I can feel it in my bones, I have never felt this way about a marketing idea before. I am worried about how am I going to fulfill all the orders. I don't have any idea on who I'm going to use to manufacture this.

Pretty ballsy to make this post... we'll see how it goes.

Are you going to sell the products before the products are manufactured, or are you going to sell products that you made at home like the prototypes? To whom have you tried to sell the product so far and how did you market your product to them?

Edited to add: I find that if I "feel something in my bones" and it doesn't come to fruition, I'm disappointed. If I treat it as though I'm indifferent and go through the motions, I'm more level-headed and objective when judging the products and the outcomes. Feel it in your bones that you have the ability to weather whatever outcome happens and that you can continue forward.

Why scared? Why not excited?

That sounds troubling. If the idea is so great, why have you had trouble selling it?

This forum is littered with people who thought the market would need something and then found out it didn't (myself included). So make sure this product will sell before you pour money into manufacturing and all the other costs that come with that.
