    Dr. Money, that's a great article.

    Jcard0520, I don't know what specific field you're interested in, but a new mlm just launched that customizes vitamins according to a persons dna. They are on the forefront of the new trend in neutraceutical sales.

    Whether you're open to network marketing or not is up to you. There are many lively debates on this forum and others. But if you're interested, or just want to know about the field in general, you can pm me.

    Private Labeling

    I would suggest finding a company that offers private labeling on products they already manufacture , just make your own look to their products.

    Supplements is what I'm looking into too. I'm thinking about buying from the manufacturer and then sell it to customers. For example, I'll buy a bottle for $3 + shipping and sell it for $25 in my country.

    But how much do I need in start up money before I can begin? Also, I'm not sure which brand I should choose to corporate with. Now Foods has more quality, whereas Source Naturals for the most has better prices.

    Go for prices it's my experience that people could care less about what exactly they're getting but more interested in a flashy label.

    Hey @jcard520 - are you still searching for information on a manufacturer? If so, word to the wise - DO NOT LISTEN TO THE LAST POST! (@ bennihan) - price is so deceiving! Haven't you, as a consumer, been duped before at something that looked too good to be true, and after you bought it and tried it, you realized it was!!??

    Vitamin and supplement manufacturers absolutely, positively have to be GMP-certified to even be considered! Once you've narrowed down your options, look into pricing - there is typically flexibility, so dont take your first price for your final one. Ask about what other services they provide - do they bottle, label, package, sotre and ship your product? Do thety offer marketing consultation? The well-known, valuable players will have the resources you need to get your business off the ground and in the right direction towards success. PM me if you need further information....would welcome the opportunity to discuss how we can help!

    Thanks!
