Forums: Discussions for entrepreneurs and small business.

hi guys, I'm Becca, I've been running a small cd mini factory for the past 13 years. Basically rode the crest of this dying technology from the a relative peak in demand for this product to the present where it's all but dying out, giving way to downloads and file sharing. Used to produce about 50 million compact discs a year, now down to less than a million discs per month. Mostly for local record and movie studios here in Asia, and some bit work for small studios in the US and Canada. My question is... is there anything left to produce on CD? In my opinion I've done well with my manufacturing line, I'm 35 now... been doing this since my early 20's after scraping up a family loan to purchase the stamping equipment. It broke even in it's 2nd year and has allowed me to establish a fairly solid business foundation for ventures into other enterprises, some successes, plenty of failures. Any discussion and ideas welcome. Not looking for customers, just ideas and any angles I might have missed before I sell my equipment for scrap and take up deep sea fishing. best wishes, Bec

Hey Becca,

In the entertainment world CD manufacturing may
have declined, but information products, I believe
is where it's stabilized.

Have you looked at niche it down to create products
for consultants, schools, training programs and so
on?

In the internet marketing industry, product creation
just doesn't stop!

Continue to have a great week!
