Our
little home based business:

won back to back
"Scovie" awards for our chili
has 27 national
culinary awards
and has even been
featured on
Culinary Compadre,
If you've ever had anyone say to
you, "This is the best ____ I've ever tasted! Why don't you market it?"
Well, I know how you feel. Over a decade ago, I started playing around
trying to duplicate the enchilada sauce of my favorite texmex
restaurant. After much experimentation I actually did come up with a
sauce that I (and my friends) thought rivaled any place in town. The
problem was, I was recently divorced and totally broke. I might add I
knew nothing about starting a food company, or even about running a
business. And I had a regular job to boot. (still do)
So I started researching. It was a slow and
arduous
task. I spent what felt like hundreds of hours on the Internet and
bombarded every food industry person I could find with questions. I
learned a lot, but not all those insider tips. If you ever considered
starting your own food company (even if it's just a hobby) and just
don't know where to start, well I know exactly how you feel.
But your problems are over! Start
Your
Own
Food
Company takes you by the hand and guides you from
start up to production to distribution. Even those insider tips are
here. You'll learn how I did it with very little money, and I've
included many of these tips so you can save a bundle getting started.

Hello
Bob,
I don't know if you remember me or not but I purchased your book a
couple of years ago and decided to start my own salsa company in
Rockwall. Texas. I started my company in August 2009 working from the
trunk of my car and have since sold almost 5,000 jars of salsa. I
currently have my products in 6 Kroger stores in the Rockwall area and
6 or 8 other retail locations. I submitted my Smoky Sweet Salsa to the
international Fiery Foods Festival and won a Scovie award for third
place. My business is growing every day. The Dallas Morning news has
informed me that they will be doing an article about my small business
success later this month. I just wanted you to know how much I
appreciate you for taking the time to write your book and for providing
the inspiration that I needed to get started. Best wishes to you and
your family in the future.
Respectfully,

Hi,
I'm writing today to tell you how grateful we are to have found your
book, "How To Start Your Own Food Company". We had been wanting to
bottle my husband's Barbeque sauces and rubs for years now, but we were
always too overwhelmed with legalities to make it happen. I am a flight
attendant and about 3 months ago was on a long layover and googled "how
to start your own barbeque business". I can't tell you how many times I
have googled that same thing over the past couple of years and all of a
sudden, there it was. Your book. I downloaded it right away and and we
were off and running! Two and a half months later we're all legal,
Uncle Bob's Sauces LLC. We have our own website
www.unclebobssauces.com, we have sold hundreds of bottles of barbeque
sauce in the last two weeks we have been open for business. We are
barely keeping up. Thank goodness I took these couple of weeks off from
flying. When I read that you had started the same way that we had
always wanted to, and that you were an airline employee, I knew this
was it. It was really going to happen.
I ordered off your website a few weeks ago and have already made the
tortilla soup and enchiladas, YUMMY! I will be spreading the word. I am
sure you get many emails, but I really wanted to write and tell you how
much you've changed our lives. We live in Montgomery, Texas (50 miles
north of Houston). We are still tweaking and learning new things, but
at least we are up and running and sending Christmas gift packs out
like crazy and recovering our start up costs.
Anyway, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!
Merry Christmas, you have been our blessing...

100 retail locations all over the country with no issues at all.

I
purchased
your
book
"Start
Your
Own
Food
Company".
It
contains
literally
more
information
that
I
have
been
able
to
acquire
from
all
other
sources.
I
attempted
my
venture
in
1998
only to scrap the idea
because I could not find any information or anyone that would help me.
After purchasing your book I am 100% confident that I can do this!
Thank you for a candid book with loads of information.

Hi
Bob,
Here's a testimonial and a question. At first I thought your book was
not worth the money I paid for it when I saw how basic some of the
business entities information was. Also the number of pages for an
ebook seemed like I had gotten ripped off. By the time I was half way
through the book I saw how some of the information you provide could
save at least $$$ thousands for my business as it gets started. I have
worked as a business consultant and studied economics at Harvard and so
I can see the true cost of getting some aspects of a business wrong.
Thanks and your book is more than worth it.
Now my question...
Leighton!

I
read
your
book
"How
to
start
a
food
company".
I
found
it
to
be
inspirational,
practical,
and
having
very,
very,
useful
information.
At
this
point
in
time,
I
am
trying
to... It will be great if you can share
your recommendations. Once again, thanks for an informative book.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Manoj
I
purchased
your
book
this
week
and
have
already
read
it
cover
to
cover.
I
am
amazed
at
all
the
information
that
you
have
provided
to
your
readers.
Thank
you
very
much for all the hard work that you have put
into this book. It has definitely made me think long and hard about
what I want to do.

Bob, bought your book yesterday and enjoyed it immensely. I honestly
had pretty low expectations (which of course were exceeded) and was
pleasantly surprised at the quality and depth of info contained
within. Thanks for putting it all out there for those looking to
get started. Those that know aren't sharing, and everyone else seems to
be clueless as to how to get started.
Robert H.
My name is Wendy, and I purchased your book online today. I read it,
and I must tell you that you provide a lot of great insight as to
what's not really said about getting into the industry. A lot of what
you mentioned I was already aware of, but I really enjoyed your
feedback on the real truth behind food shows and copackers/distributors.
Bob, I'm almost done reading your book and I must say, probably the
best $37 I've ever spent!

My
wife and I just downloaded your book and was impressed by the details
you've mention on marketing a food product. Your story alone gave us
the inspiration to continue our dream in doing our own business and
must thank you for getting this information to us. Again thanks for the
information and looking forward to get some more of your
entrepreneurial expertise.

How to choose
how
your business will operate (sole proprietorship, corporation, etc.) and
an explanation of each so you can decide what's best for you
How to

business with the county clerk

and a food manufacturer's license

to do it")
Help in

What outside

How to find
someone
to produce your labels (they must be professionals)
Labeling rules

code (here I'll save you BIG BUCKS!)
Establish a

Tips on
packaging

What tools I
find

Shipping tips
An invaluable
section on different type of shows and conventions with an ROI (return
on investment) guide for each type.
This alone will save you a ton of
money.

and a history of my first distributor, also subtitled "This is not
how you want to do it"
How to get
insured.
Don't proceed without insurance

provide you with enough research and reading material to become an expert ...you know you've already
wasted too many hours researching this stuff...I provide you with the
links you'll need to research all aspects of the food industry!
My book will get
you started and pay for itself many times over with the money AND TIME you'll
save.
BUT! as an added
bonus, I'm throwing in 4 bonus ebooks!
The first is the
best reference I've ever seen for getting started on the internet that
didn't cost $200+! It's Stone Evans' "DOTCOMOLOGY". There's literally
more information in this book than you can imagine. 300+ pages!
Next is "Outsourcing Survival Kit" a great
reference to getting someone else to do what you will waste your precious time on. We all think
we have to do it all in the beginning and it just ain't so! This will help you
get the help you need inexpensively!
And third is "Creating Your Own Publicity"
by Dr. Paul Hartunian. A noted publicity expert in the real world and
the online world. Excellent stuff!
And last, "Guaranteed Success Thinking" by
internet guru Jim Edwards. Keep focused, keep positive because it will
be a long journey to the promise land!
