I created a nutritional supplement to help me code longer and be more productive:

It's been an incredible learning experience in terms of building an ecommerce business from the ground up and putting all of the pieces together.
Plus I got to code a custom CRM for the backend because I couldn't find anything to fit my needs.
But I'm running into the serious limitations of having a physical product business-inventory, shipping, returns, phone support, etc. For example, due to various regulatory and logistical issues I can only sell to the United States, which severely limits my market size...I've had to turn away more than a few Canadians...so I'll be jumping into the SaaS startup world soon.
ECommerce is a LOT of work- for anyone choosing between selling a physical product or software, unless you have an awesome idea I would recommend software- a lot of the issues traditional stores face are automatically taken care of in a webapp.
- danilocampos 16y agoHow does the supplement work?
- pinksoda 16y agoI checked out the ingredients and it looks pretty good. I bet this stuff really works. Focus supplements are BIG right now and I've always wanted to create something but just haven't had the time. I know a guy who is a GENIUS at marketing stuff like this. Let me know if you want an introduction.

- Gormo 16y agoSorry for the nitpick, but I noticed that you misspelled "dimethylamylamine" on your product label. What made you go into this market? It seems that this is a highly competitive product category.
- reynolds 16y agoI used to deal with products like this quite a bit. There's a huge segment of the industry that is involved in rebill scams and are almost impossible to cancel. Is your product like that as well? It looks exactly like the type of landing page that does scammy rebills for "free" trial offers.
- il 16y agoIt's a simple sale, no rebill or free trial just one charge of the purchase price. I use that landing page style because it converts better than anything else I have tested :)
