This is very important and will save you thousands of dollars and possibly months or years of your life.
Get sales before anything else.
Whether it's putting together a SUPER professional kickstarter/crowdfunding-type thing
Or making really good ads (like purple mattress

)
Or whatever...
You need to be able to prove that it can get sales.
Make video content explaining it in a very professional way.
I'm talking Harmon bros. level quality.
Or make a rock solid instagram page and start paying micro-influencers to review your product.
Or make youtube videos "How to fix dry nose" and make tons of them.
Sponsored blog posts...etc...you get the idea.
Sell it, before you ever pay anyone to bottle it up. It doesn't matter if you piss off 10 customers. You need to prove that you can push a button and get orders rolling in.
This will save you SO much money and more importantly, TIME. But since you work for little pay, time and money are the same thing for you right now, so don't blow it when you could be operating intelligently.
So many people in your shoes are STUPID because they don't get EVIDENCE they can get SALES. They think you set things up and then get sales. No, you get sales and a reason to invest and set things up. Don't be like the thousands of people who start a business and 'take a risk' only to F*ck it all up by not proving demand. Business is not that risky, being stupid is risky. Always test demand. It's okay to dupe 10 people into 'buying' a product that isn't ready yet, just don't take their money. They will forgive you.
