Absolutely amazing. Thanks for the detailed effort tht went into making this.

[ISDATBIGBEN]

It don't take 1500 to start that it's took me about 300 and the first 6 months I make 2k

[zeylani]

Lucky me
I have done extactly the same things but without prior or preguide. Follow what my mind says. But i did in farmore perfect way. Thank you. Increased my confidence.

[JD-ouce]

I love your videos. They are perfect to learn how to start a business that will never turn profit

[betweenthecolors]

I’d love to see a similar video, but with barbecue sauce as the example. This is still helpful to me though. Love the videos man.

[therealestatedrip]

Does FDA need to approve anything? Are you able to blend spices yourself? Or the fulfillment center handles the blending and logistics (shipping)?

[runezrap]

Love the out of the blue cutaway to b-roll of bacon

[annamarrero]

all the red tape though. licensing, do you send your labels off to the warehouse/fulfillment center do they set the labels and fill the bottles?

[upperelementaryantics]

Question I’m interested in making my own blends can you give me more information on how fulfillment works

[davidfreer]

This is great! I stumbled upon this. Great info. Really excited getting this going!! I will definitely share my progress with you. Baby steps all the way!

[rajashrichavan]

I am from India selling Kashmiri chilli powder

[storyonthego]

Hi My uncle owns a factory in Egypt that does spices. I am wondering how can I help him sell his products to companies here in USA?. As of right now he only sells his products to companies in Europe.

[AquanutAcademy]

If I am understanding you correctly you must have a fulfillment center make the product if you are going to sell it online?

[treatsnclouds]

Would you recommend me starting with Walmart fulfillment center to ship outside of state ? Because the state I’m in isn’t profitable for what I’m selling.. I feel like I’ll lose money starting here.

[jasminelewis]

Can I send the spices off myself from my local post office? Or is that illegal? New to channel

[jaylen]

I am currently using a co packer producing my spices for me. I am currently doing research so I can scale up and getting my own warehouse so I can sell more Blends faster. Do you have a suggestions?

[MichaelJADavis]

@marketingfoodonline how can I legally sell small-batch, homemade spices online across state lines (no fulfillment center)?

[askabidi]

Can I use a co-packer to manufacture the product but then instead of using commercial fulfillment warehouse services; can the product be shipped from a personal residence in Florida?
Reason 1: Quality Control / revalidate the product/package before shipping the product to the customer until the trust is built with the co-packer.

Reason 2: I have 800 sq ft (three temperature-controlled rooms) which are unutilized and can be repurposed for inventory /shipment.

Thanks

[rezakamui]

How can I get in touch with you? Thanks.
