Creating a product that prob wont work

    im new to the world of Ebizness and i have many ideas. I have talked to a few ppl and read many posts the last week. I am interested in possibly selling a line of beauty products and supplements for certain interests.

    My question is..for example if I sold a natural face soap that helps cure acne, or a cream that helps hair grow faster What happens if my product does not work, which it probably wont. I see it no different as commercials for Clearsil that promise clearer skin or supplements that promise huge muscles but do not deliver. But, I feel like if it does not work ppl will want their money back and I dont want to develop a product just to have everyone return it.:mad:

    The real question is, why do you want to sell something you know won't work? It will only get you complaints, returns, bad reviews and no returning customers. It's not a sustainable business model.

    Find a product to sell that actually does work, then you won't have to worry about it.

    The user can sue you coz it doesn't work.
    Or you can give some reason such as maybe their skin type is not suitable for the cream you sell that why it not work.

    Remember this the 4 G's...Good product + Good price + Good message + Getting that message out = SUCCESS!

    Thats the only way. But honestly, and I'm not saying I advocate this type of business, but getting the message out is the most important. 99% of that crap on the TV at 2am is garbage and still makes millionaires.

    You won't get very far selling a product that doesn't work at all.

    Many commercialss may over exaggerate the results of a products but that doesn't mean they don't work at all.

    i want to promote products that i believe in.... However if i can make a profit in a certain niche, I feel I should not over look it. How does a product like Extenze(penis enlargement pill that does not work) still sell. I heard that they have sold 5million pills, but nobody has seen results. Another example I think of is Muscle Tech. they claim outlandish results like 26times stronger 8 pounds of muscles in one week . As someone that lives in the gym, i can say these claims are false.

    FAKE FAKE FAKE...this is a major player in the supplement world

    Today, while looking at a products i stumbled across a bunch of affiliates that created sites promoting oil treatments for herpes and warts. from the credible reviews i read and not the ones from affiliates, it does not work. Personally, I purchased a cream for my hair because it was shedding and it did not grow my hair back lol

    I see these industries making big bucks off of people and I dont want to miss out. Iam a n00b at this and plan on starting affiliate websites to get my feet wet and I am looking for what sells

    Good luck, I got into the diet pills area at one point and put in probably 150 man hours, little to no success. I made back maybe $60.00 of a $500.00 investment.

    If you have the money, resources, and branding skills all power to you, but that field is VERY competitive.

    I have heard of a product that has a caption : "Money Back"
    Well that product is not a beauty product but a food supplement and the buyers (MOstly) are
    satisfied with the products and they even return with testimonial..
    actually one thing yo have to do is to make sure that your product would really work...
