You can outsource many stuff like design of labels, fonts, logo...at few freelancer sites like fiverr.com where people do such jobs for $5 or multiplies of $5.
I had a hand written cartoon type of video made by a guy from fiverr for $5 with any text and drawings plus music in HD quality - and this video got over 20,000 views. Best $5 spent on advertising my website and a service offered on that website.
I like how you treat your clients and know stuff about new ingredient but I think you could use a guy that knows stuff about online marketing and getting social momentum going for your products at Youtube, Facebook, Twitter...
I'm happy you got TongkatBoron.com - I didn't post it here in this public thread cause there was a chance somebody would register this domain before you.
It's all about good karma - you do good things for people so this is my small contribution to help you in making more money with future products (I'm sure many of us could benefit).
Thanks I appreciate any information that can help us move forward.
Understand that BLR is pretty much just me. I designed the products, labels, website..I do all the marketing and shipping and ever FN thing there is.
At this point Im overwhelmed. I do have significant business experience as I used to work for a multibillion dollar corp leading a R&D branch.
At some point we will work on more vigorous marketing but Formeron is sort of grey area and I dont want to draw too much attention.
Part of the reason guys get whacked by the F D A (think primordial) is because they are too loud. PP for example was advertising "leading the steroid revolution" on their website and banners all over the net. Its like putting a giant target on yourself.
I had a friend offer to run affiliate marketing and other things for us but this type of advertising is expensive.
Affiliates often want 50-70%. At this % they would have to increase sales by 500 bottles a day to even be consistent with current sales.
So for now Ill likely continue as things are with regards to marketing.
Eventually..Formeron will go away and we will begin aggressive marketing in magazines and social media. For now...in order to be able to continue offering formeron I need to fly under the radar.
Im working hard to develop new products though that will fill the void. 3 that you guys know of currently in R&D phases.
I have also been testing everything I can find AI wise just in case Formestane gets banned. You would be surprised....most of the known legal AI's are pretty much inert. The strongest we tested achieved 30% aromatase inhibition at super high doses...far above what could be cost effective. This is disheartening.
But Ill keep throwing money and time at it.
Im also open to suggestions. Any person who believes they know everything is an idiot.
There are over a hundred thousand members on this forum alone. Its HIGHLY possible one or more have spent some time looking into herbal or chemical AI's and might have suggestions. Ill take em. via PM.
Generally speaking our goal is to produce products that fill existing voids.
We created a fat burner....honestly its one of the best in its class. It doesnt sell well, partially because I didnt market it much but also because there are so many fat burners out there.
When you look at our other products there are not many competitors. We want to continue to be innovative moving forward.
Id hate nothing more than to be just another supp company with BCAA a fat burner and a PWO....blah.
WOW....whats in this coffee O_O
