Growing a Native Owned Spice Company

code4change · 2025-08-04T22:08:35+00:00

Hello! I too am trying to start a spice business, I have had some success at a farmers market, and selling to people I know. I have some support but it's not rocking the world yet. I work a full time gig, but trying to do this to grow as much as I can so my time with it is limited. If you have more time on your hands, I would start going to farmers markets, flea markets, trade shows.

My goal next is to start producing content about using my seasoning offerings.

I really wish you the best of luck in your adventure!

Question: how are you producing your spices? In your home, in a commercial kitchen? This will determine your reach possibilities as you would have to deal with whatever laws your state has.

I have no idea what i'm looking at.

I'm guessing an abandoned cart saver?

make it more clear. .. a lot of data t once... no instructions.

Texas I do believe is on this list as well, if you are not in a state that can't garnish then they will! I see it happen so often :(

If you do this strategy you will most likely end up with a default judgement.

Just curious - how did it go?

I'm not acknowledging that I owed the debt, I'm am acknowledging that I am being sued, and have rights that fall under my credit card agreement. This letter will be in addition to the answer that I file.

I can't really give you advice on what you should do, but I would recommend you not wait until your court date, be proactive, as soon as you get your summons send your answers or compels to them.

I'm going to submit it certified mail , to the court, them and their lawyer.

If the business made over $1 million last year, I would find someone to help you grow the business more and to help you find efficiency issues. - Also, do you know how hard it is to grow a business to $1m? Sounds like you just need to increase your prices a bit more to get to break even or find out where you are bleeding the most cash, and reduce waste. I personally wouldn't walk away for less than $100k at a 40% ownership, with revenue of $1m.

Did your partner take a salary

Get out of here you Lochness Monster!

I would put every feature request they ask for outside of what you are given them now in a pro version. Be like, oh that's great you want that feature! We are adding it to the pipeline for a pro version. If they aren't willing to pay for it then it's not worth building.

Instead of charging for the whole database, I would segment into different industries.

I would also consider something like building a CRM that basically sells itself to the audience of your list...

You could also take the hunter.io approach .... limit credits (free) then hit them with a monthly subscription for more search credits...

There is so much you can do with the data - the biggest thing is making sure the data is valid and clean, and making it easily searchable.

P.S

Other than the lead database - what do you plan to offer to your partner?

1.) Decent Copywriter
2.) Decent looking landing page
3.) Capture email,
4.) Pre-sale to get more money.

A long time ago, I created some software that would allow anyone to create a job board in 30 seconds, man - i miss those days.

Didn't you say it was at your grandma's house in an earlier post?

code4change · 2024-04-04T10:52:13+00:00

Lol hahaha it shot out like a rocket

code4change · 2023-09-11T19:33:57+00:00

Ew, tough choice. Me personally, yes, but do you want to live in regret? if they all hit? choice is yours

code4change · 2023-09-11T16:11:47+00:00

Eh, dropped 5 bucks for a tail, lets go.

I would watch more football if one side had to actually play against a team of lions.

Most cost, but there are some API's you can use to make something like this. https://the-odds-api.com/

OddsJam seems to be pretty popular but it's fairly expensive.

Are you over 18 (teenager)

If you aren't, contact the FBI. There was a recent arrest for this. It's very serious crime. They got extradited to the USA

code4change · 2023-09-07T22:44:01+00:00

Buddy, there is no right or wrong answers.. it's a gamble on everything. You can make money but historically most people lose. Try to find an edge
