How feasible is it to make your own protein powder and sell it? I'd be happy making 50k a year

Others have done it, but it is a saturated market. There are only so many wholesalers/custom producers. Most have famous spokesman or bodybuilding celebrities to market to the public.

Unless you have some kind of super unique market changing product. I don't see it happening.

If you are looking into whey protein market, it's refined milk product, there really isn't anymore you can do to it. It's been engineered out and scaled to economy already.

So unless you are a chemist with a ground-breaking new formulation what exactly are you selling that isn't on the market yet.

Whey is a byproduct of making dairy products. So if you happen to already own a dairy farm, then yes, you could easily do this.

Back in the day they used to just throw it away, until someone realized, "Hey, weightlifters would actually buy this shit."

OK, so its around 66K US dollars, still not that hard to get to.

do you think we don't regulate our markets, cunt?

everything he says is accurate, to successfully sell such a generic product in a saturated market you'd need tens of millions at a minimum to even have a slim chance of starting a successful company

So $66,000 US.

Which is also pretty fucking easy to obtain, even if you're just a fucking welder over here.

This is true. There is no such thing as small companies and never has been. Everything was all cavemen and dinosaurs, and then, poof, mega corporations appeared out of thin air and started running everything.

i'm 43, I like to anonymously look at fat people hate threads and fit girl threads, sue me.

I'm not selling anything different I'm selling protein powder, other people sell it so why can't I

Hey me too bud but I'm 25

Average HOUSEHOLD income in 2017 in the US is $56k...

You can try, but your costs are going to be too high to compete.

If you are very good at marketing you can try to reach a niche audience with some kind of angle if you have one.

If you think you can make it, go for it. Keep us updated.

all I need is some bulk powder from China, some labels and tubs and I can sell it on Amazon, easy as pie

Good luck then user. Keep us posted.

>what is economy of scale

if you want to make a sarcastic comment make sure you don't look like a dumb fucking idiot when you do it

do you think an obviously underage simpleton like OP has the resources to "make his own protein powder" or is creative enough to think up a method of differentiating an objectively bland and simple product in a way that major companies can't?

Still not that hard with skilled training to break slightly ahead of 10% of average.

Selling food products is in general extremely complicated because of regulations and the bureaucracy would be time consuming and costly. That being said it's a growing market for meme food items like preworkout, energy drinks and high protein bars, snacks etc so there's probably an opening in the market if you know what you're doing.

If you have to Veeky Forums it isn't feasible for you.

A household is on average a lot more than one adult.

Totally trivial to get custom made and labeled shit yourself. 99% of it is going to be marketing at this point, though. You need something special to stand out in the marketplace. Are you a YouTube natty faggot? Pro athlete? Model? Or otherwise famous or professionally attractive? If not, you're probably going to lose more than you spend.

>Totally trivial to get custom made and labeled shit yourself.

How to do this?

Understood, but it is still not that difficult to get some training to get to a 65K plus career field within a decent amount time/effort put into it.

100K plus fields takes much more education/certification.

you're starting at the wrong end, you need to establish your brand first, then you can start selling garbage products and inflated prices.

no wonder you guys have this problem

wtf is going on

why doesnt he just run over those pathetic branches from the start

people on there begging to do it for you

You have no idea just how shitty the U.K. is right now.
Unless you have a specialist degree in a career like engineering or accountancy or are a banker, wages are unbelievably shit.

I know carpenters that get paid 15k and an architect who earns 40k and he's in fucking London of all places.
Truck drivers get paid between 18k and 25k here.

The whole country is completely doomed.

In the U.K. it's almost impossible m8.

The only people earning over 60k here are boomers who lucked out on their career ladder, bankers and successful entrepreneurs.

Sounds shitty, sorry.

Understood, i was talking about U.S.

50k a year is a lot of money, I couldn't imagine making that much considering i make 22k a year now working 45 hours a week labor job

tfw make 16k a year working full time on night shift

life is shit
