Instead of creating a new thread, maybe I'll ask in here as it seems like there are some knowledgeable guys here.
The one thing I know far more about and am more interested in than affiliate marketing is sport training, specifically MMA/training fighters, etc. It's something I'm genuinely interested in too and have always wanted to do it, and I know a good deal about supplement formulations and used to kinda build my own by buying ingredients in bulk and mixing them. They worked well too.
Anyway, what needs to be in place to start your own supp? I know of a couple companies already that will basically formulate the product (a couple listed in this thread), I can get the landers and all that done well like most here.
Where I am kinda stuck/lost on is the merchant account and support thing. I wouldn't want it to be a scammy rebill.... for the most part it would be a pay per sale product, and I might offer a free trial like Force Factor but I'd prefer to have good customer support and provide refunds where needed/eligible.
I keep hearing that for supps you need these fancy merchant ID systems and such, but no idea where to start for that really. As far as I know, product development, site development, and initial marketing testing could be done fairly cheap with what I know and my resources. For this type of product, would simply going to your bank to get a merchant account suffice? Would you want systems like LimeLight in place? sorry for my "noobness" on the subject.
Any insight on this would be great.... to the OP sorry to hijack your thread.
