WhenI DMed Lienjang at @lienjang_english, they had me send a photo of my face and describe my concerns. They then suggested some options and booked me for an in-person consultation and appointment.

Muse Clinic, on the other hand, has a super comprehensive website of the treatments they offer and pricing so you can reference that prior to booking. While it does seem they have the ability to book an appointment online, I just DMed them at @museclinic_gn to make my appointment.


The in-person consultation here was super helpful; I went in having no idea what services I might want and they did a great job of narrowing down the options based on the skin concerns I told them I wanted to address.


While I no longer (for the time being, at least!) get filler, I believe filler costs about US$50 per syringe/ml, and they do have many brands we have in the US like Juvederm and Restalyne. Compare that to US$900/ml I paid a few years ago in Los Angeles and you can quickly see how the savings can help pay for your trip!


You can get a tourist tax refund on your treatments if the price exceeds 30,000 KRW (US$24 at the time of writing) and the clinic you visit participates and offers the right paperwork. The refund for skincare treatments should be around 10%.


The three apps above are the more important ones to download, but to communicate with certain businesses, you may find yourself needing KakaoTalk (similar to iMessage or WhatsApp). While most businesses I interacted with for bookings or reservations were happy to communicate via direct messages on Instagram, there was one that I could only reach via KakaoTalk so downloading this did come in handy.


This trip, we stayed in Gangnam at the newer Andaz Seoul Gangnam indicated by the orange arrow. Gangnam is super posh and often analogized as the Beverly Hills of Korea, but staying in this area required a much greater reliance on our translation apps, we experienced some anti-foreigner sentiments in this area, and we ultimately spent more time in the areas indicated by the orange arrow.


The public transportation system in Seoul is unbelievable and we used the subways and buses a TON as it was often faster to use public transportation versus getting a taxi, so you want to make sure you have a T-Money card to take advantage of the public transportation.


I will be visiting Seoul very soon, and wanted to explore skin treatments. Your post has such wonderful information, I did not miss any of the pictures. Thank you so very much for putting all this great information in one place!


Over-ordering inventory. This was the biggest mistake. As soon as you get your first run of product, you are already tweaking it and making it better. Bargain and promise the moon on future sales, and keep the inventory low. On the second order (blister packed EarPeace for venues), I over did it. Thank BUDDHA the initial run of boxed EarPeace for internet sales are still almost perfect.


Ask as many smart people for their opinion as you can. The forest quickly gets lost for the trees when you are in the thick of operational, distribution, creative, and financial decision-making. Give 5% of the company to a couple of clutch advisers that will give you 1-2 hours per week to review strategy, make introductions, and help drive sales. You CAN NOT do it all by yourself. There are so many marketing communications decisions that make it impossible to do everything alone. And, as quickly as possible, hire someone part-time to do continuous PR.


I found my manufacturer through Alibaba.com and GlobalSources.com. I contacted all of them through my business email, because using a Gmail account will not get you serious feedback. I started off with a list of 20+ potential suppliers and sent them all emails. Based on how quickly they responded, the quality of their English, and their willingness to answer my questions, I narrowed that list to about ten. I sent those ten an NDA and narrowed it further when there was no response or issues with confidentiality.


These all happened through adviser introductions, lots of blind phone calls, and PR. And, being out there. EarPeace had a presence at every major music festival in the late summer. That is a phenomenal work lifestyle.


I also used PRLeads and HARO to gain exposure for the product (as mentioned in the book). The idea was put into motion, and Summer Jasmines has since appeared in the Style Network website, attracted the attention of celebrity stylists, and is in the hands of Paris Hilton.


Finding a manufacturer was tough, as I wanted to make sure they made the product exactly as I designed it. I searched in the United States with no success, and it took me three months, multiple Internet searches, and a flurry of follow up e-mails before I found a reliable manufacturer. This manufacturer was willing to prototype my designs, with minimal cost initially (around US $300) per style. When I saw that the sandals were generating a good market response, I was able to order in bulk.


Hewley products (L-Carnitine Shampoo and Saw Palmetto Conditioner) help men and women combat thin, lifeless and limp hair with a daily 2-step regimen for thicker, healthier hair, as well as new hair growth.


We did research on scientific journals and studies with respect to stimulating blood flow to the scalp. We discovered some exciting results and found that there was a viable niche, and that the pricing of the products allowed for necessary margins.


Our first muse concept was fish oil. We found a great Icelandic company that has a terrific product that they would sell to us in bulk. We tested the concept using 4HWW tools, but found there was too much competition and not enough differentiation.


Once we proved the concept and decided it was time to outsource production, we started playing detective. In addition to Google searches, we took each shampoo product that we studied during our product development and looked for clues as to where it was manufactured (whether it was made in-house or outsourced). We also asked each potential vendor to name a couple companies that they thought were competitors. With this multi-pronged approach, we found many more manufacturers that were initially accessible on the web through simple Google searches.


My advice for first-timers: Start today. Commit yourself to your muse by putting the idea out there as fast as possible. We know a lot of folks who have read the 4HWW and love to discuss it and their ideas, but time moves on and nothing happens. Call a potential business partner and share the tasks; tell all your friends that you are launching a product on X date; build your test site and get it out there. My partner and I have learned that the fastest way to get something done is to commit to it. You always have time to perfect the product later.


We are going to be featured in an upcoming issue of a magazine with 100,000 readers. It came about by reaching out to a rep from the magazine and showing her the brochure. We have also been approached by other sites looking to add our product, but are cautious to protect our margins (4HWW).

wow! This is an outstanding post, and perfect timing. I have been working on a muse for the last year, started off with an ecommerce store which is going well and now going into info products including teaching others how to build an ecommerce store. Thx for the great post again!


The great thing about someone like Shopify, is you can literally have your store up and running in a few days but it is highly scalable if you want to grow down the line. Where as wordpress is not, and you will probably have to hire a programmer to move your store over.


First of all, thank you Tim for inspiring me with 4HWW and thank you for adding on with all the great material you publish on your blog. After reading 4HWW and watching a friend go through the process of creating a muse, I have started on my own journey into joining the NR.


Import from China. Good step by step guide on how to import from China that has helped me so far in getting product samples and saving a decent bit on commissions when compared to quotes I received from import agencies.


Something particularly interesting about these case studies is they all involve a physical product which is awesome. Obviously there are lots of people making money with virtual products, but is great to see people taking a smarter, faster, cheaper approach with physical products.


Great Post Tim. I would like to see a lot more like this and I think the next best thing would be to do a case study on a business from start to finish. From brain storming to having the first sale. It would take a lot of work/time but I think a lot of people would benefit from it and be happy to watch how you would go about it from start to finish.


Excellent read Tim. And its got me thinking. I have a 2 products I was going to pitch for licensing but am now considering only licensing one of them and making the other one a niche product of my own.


I am an accountant and agree with Tim. From the limited information given, an LLC is a good way to go because it gives legal protection and provides tax benefits (taxed as partner instead of being double taxed as corp).


I would advise you and anyone else to make sure you structure it properly when you set it up because that is where the legal protection comes from. If you have partners this is even more important. You may want to get an attorney to help with this so that you are sure you are covered.


Digital products are never going to be money-making ventures for people who are not computer geniuses. It is better for most people to focus on products that other people can see and touch. Peope feel connected to products that they can interact with. Outside of Facebook, Twitter, and smartphones, people are not really that interested in technology. Technology usually just becomes too complicated and expensive in the end.
