Hi all,
I am finally taking steps to get out of my 9-5 and looking to launch a product online. I have done a lot of research and found a unique product that is tailored to the industry where I am currently working in, so I believe i have an edge in that regard with minimal competition.
So far the steps I have taken / will take are below, what are your thoughts? I am looking for some advice since i have ZERO experience and will probably stuff up a lot, but more than happy to learn and see what things I have missed out on, thanks!
- Ordered samples, will analyze the quality/durability
- Setting up a modern website
- Needing to film/photograph high quality content for both my website and media channels
- A lot of marketing, whether its TikTok ads, influencer marketing (which I think i will put most of my time into, Instagram/Facebook ads etc.... anything else I should consider for marketing)
- Once all of the above is good to go, pending my samples are up to par, I will to a medium size order (money I am willing to lose) to ensure inventory
- Continue marketing, see how I can optimize sales (any advice)
Let me know your thoughts, I know there is A LOT of work in the above but is there any key items I've missed / should consider? Thanks in advanced

Thanks for the kind words and advice, I will definitely look into what social channels my target audience hang around. I have some ideas but your comment is making me think about this a lot more indepth.

Thanks!
