I woke up one day and realized that I need to stop changing money and fulfill needs of the people so decided to promote a product that possibly might sell really well, the issue is I haven't created it yet. My philosophy is if I get a lot of orders that's when I decide to make it. Is this a wise decision?
Well I mean yes test the markets interest, but accept money for something you don't know you can build yet... (If this is a product) I wouldn't. Getting near scamming there.

In my experience, yes you should do it. I have also read this somewhere, doing this will also validate market need.Hello everyone Im Charles.

from article below:there’s definitely laws against it, I believe it’s called dry testing.
what I would do is make the payment page not work so that you can test if people are actually paying but not take thier money at the same time
In his article Tim outlines some FTC guidelines and then shows you exactly how to create this type of survey yourself.
“The Federal Trade Commission is normally OK with tests like this, so long as four conditions are met:
- No representation is made that the product definitely will be produced.
- There must be adequate notice of the conditional nature of the offer.
- Those who order are promptly informed if it is not produced.
- There can be no substitution of another product.”
I always chuckle when I read advise like this. I dont mean to pick on you specifically and this is more generally to all the people that bring up enforcement action.I also agree with previous posters - do it but don't charge their cards.

There are many creative low cost ways to get some really terrific behavior based research done these days. Tim O’Connor, CMO of PCDI/Ashworth our guestwww.questionpro.com
I wouldn't charge their card even if those points above are covered - if someone will get angry for being charged and not getting his item he might start some FTC procedure.
Not worth the time.
literally absolutely nothing will come of it. Zero chance.
