Let's suppose you knew of a product that was largely unknown, but is an exceptional, something of a "miracle" product and could be the next Acai berry or green tea?

There aren't affiliate programs of note for this product, except for some vendors offering 10% of sales.

What would you do with this knowledge?
 


My honest opinion is that, if you don't know what to do with it, then you don't actually have a

I may underestimate you, and I am sorry for that. I dont really know you. But I have friends and colleagues yelling excited at me all the time about the "next big thing".

And then I ask them their business plan, their expected ROI, their market absorption, their need capital, and their expected competition. And the reply I get is "Huh?"

So, sorry.

You may be misunderestimating the purpose of my questions. I'm not only shouting "the next big thing"; I want to know what would you do if you knew of one?

The business plan is what's lacking, and I'm trying to figure that one out. I want to understand the process from the beginning.

Capische, boubelah?
 
if you are talking about fleshlights, nachoninja already has a death grip on the market
 
I often have clients coming to me, with what they think will be the next hot supplement category. If I start hearing about it from a few independent sources then, I'll look into it more.

However one of most important factors in determining if a category is going to become the next big thing, is to see what the media is saying about it. If there is a media buzz, then people will be looking, if no one is talking about it, then it will be very tough to make the category take off.

Creating a buzz about something new is almost impossible on a nationwide scale unless you have some help from the media or you're going to spend tons of money on TV / Radio / Print etc.
 
I Googled the product, Manuka Honey, and got 336,000 results so there's been media coverage. The product kills superbug staph germs that are antibiotic-resistant, and I've been using it to treat my headcold. My sore throat is gone after one day, and I generally feel much better after taking it in tea.

The really potent healing stuff has UHF 16+, although all honey has antibiotic qualities. The New Zealand FDA lists it as a drug, so it's verified as a legitimate healing product and not a sham.
 
Well you won't be able to call it a drug in the US, and I wouldn't say that "heals". Those are FDA redflags.

The key would be the delivery system. Can you put it in pill form? Can you make a tea and add it to that?

The one issue is that people might not want to take this daily, so you won't be able to do a monthly recurring autoship with this type of product. You want to make it so its a part of their daily routine.

...or you could just drink Bleach. That shit can even kill cancer cells, and it costs what, $5?

WARNING: Drinking bleach has a good chance of turning your insides into liquid shit and very likely killing you in the process. Read the label, only take with food. Do not operate heavy machinery after taking it. If you don't die immediately afterwards and still have a hardon that lasts for more than 6 hours, call your doctor. If you truly believe any of this, then you should definitely drink it and ignore this warning.
 
At least drinking Bleach is more fun than watching Bleach...

Blueyonder: So you're a kiwi then?

You're right in that all honeys to have some anti-bacterial qualities. It kind of has to to be the only foodstuff that actually NEVER goes off (seriously, honey does not expire, although it does crystallize) without the aid of preservatives.
I'd imagine that the bee vomit (honey) would contain some of the properties you'd get out of a tea tree bush as well.
But other than use as a topical treatment (I can see alternative uses for that too, actually), tea tree oil doesn't actually do anything, so I doubt this honey would either.
The Royal Melbourne show is coming up, so there'll probably be some samples of it there in the agricultural section.

Having just read a bit of the literature, it sounds like the next "royal jelly" to me.
Royal Jelly is great as a topical treatment (it does speed up the healing time of cuts and burns), but the pills are useless and don't do half the shit they're credited with.
However, most idiots will believe a brochure because it has pictures, versus articles from scientific magazines.

Perhaps if you talk to a pill manufacturer, and make sure it's loaded down with B complex vitamins, do give people a bit of a perk up, and that way they'll assume it's the honey doing them some good?

I have a terrible secret that I haven't revealed thus far, which would give some insight to my lack of Fleshlight knowledge:

I haven't the odd appendage to use it with. I was born without a penis! :eek7:

To HarveyJ - I'm a Yankee, a NY'er actually. The honey has put my cold on the fast track to oblivion. I imbibed no bleach today (which costs about $1.39 a gallon).

WTF You mean you were only born with a set of balls? :repuke:

Seriously though, who gives a fuck if this shit works wonders or not. If the mass media starts touting it as a miracle cure there will be rubes lining up everywhere to buy this shit. And thats where we come in!

Yeah! But it's not a shit product. It has genuine health benefits.
 
I'm not saying its a shit product. Just saying if more people hear about it, then yes, it could be the next big thing.
