ABOUT:
The best Dan seasoning on the market.
Taste and see why we say "You don’t know till you Dan-O!"
Low Sodium = More Flavor
When using Dan-O’s, you can be a lot more aggressive than you would with other seasonings, because you’re not using a bunch of salt.
By sprinkling Dan-O’s aggressively we are adding flavor and allowing the herbs and spices to really penetrate our food, cooking real flavor into it while not overpowering your dish with salt - all while still getting a great, natural sea salt flavor!
Dan-O’s still has a great salt flavor because we use an all-natural, unrefined sea salt. Most other seasonings not only use too much salt, but they also use cheap, chemically broken down salts that are actually bad for you.
All the Dan Uses
Why Dan-O’s is the Most Versatile Seasoning on the Market!
Pan sear, grill, smoke, bake, blacken or fry Dan-near anything.
Create soups, sauces, marinades, and vinaigrette from scratch.
Try replacing your salt and pepper shakers with Dan-O’s for a week to sprinkle on everything from eggs, potatoes, pizza, pasta, rice, chili to even casseroles.
Mix Dan-O’s and parmesan cheese in a separate bottle for your own Dan good parmesan mix that’s great for pizza, pasta, or even on popcorn!

[@mazza7419]

The mere fact he came out on KZbin to give a tutorial on hue to start a business shows you the man has humility and of good upbringing. His soul is pure. God bless him always.🙏❤️

[@bluemagic3800]

So refreshing to see KZbin advice go straight to the point and not trying to sell a damn course.

[@Brian-yw7yd]

Blue Magic, I agree

[@arcvideos924]

This seriously deserves more views and likes. This man basically lists exactly what to do, like literally (and I don't say "literally" often) follow the steps and anyone can yield gold from what he's talking about. Great video!

[@philg3763]

Hey I just turned 20 and I’m considering starting a food based business. Thank you for making this video firm and to the point. It’s what I was looking for!

[@Tale_of_meow]

What type of business bro ?.. where are you from

[@Mr.BillsBBQ]

I really liked how you laid it out in plain honest words. Not beat around the bush or sugar coat things. I do very much appreciate this video and thank you for doing it. I am working on my own recipe now so this was valuable to me.

[@traibunny9005]

Absolutely loved this video! So informative and straight to the point. I’ve been watching videos on this for 2 days and couldn’t find anyone discussing the true difference between doing it at home or using a copacker. Thanks so much!!

[@user-lr1tu6op3f]

Ok buddy you have found success and you're trying to help someone else. I appreciate that. My out look for you in the next five years is that you will continue to grow in so much that more warehouses manufacturing sales etc you get the idea. Now when you do keep this review and get in touch with me I'll be wanting a job. I've always wanted to help folks to. We see you're product in Chattanooga TN. Great price excellent flavor. It's got an outside feel to it. It makes you want to get folks together get out away from the cell phones and cook and enjoy. Ok man I'll be waiting you'll be working. Keep the review. Dan'os get you some. You folks read this support people like this guy who really is trying to help someone else UP.

[@a24396]

You deserve every bit of success you ever experience. Such an impressive ethic you are showing here! Thanks so much for posting!

[@gregorymcduffiemcduffiesfi1212]

This tutorial was very helpful to me and others. Hope you will do more like this later on in the future. I am new to your channel and I’m starting a new business once again thank you for this insight.

[@BrandLabelinc]

5:20 this is great information for people to know! When people come to our art department, they tend to only know a couple of things

[@War_Thunder_Napkin]

I’m 17 and in high school. This is very helpful as I want to create a business and be successful. I see an opportunity I have and I want to take it! Thank you so much for your time to make this video and the willingness to share information to others.❤

[@anthonyjones2771]

I’ve been BSing for a while. This video is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you

[@logicoutloud]

wow so random I was just doing some food research, and remembered your product and searched it here on YT and you JUST uploaded this vid... pretty cool

[@Frumious-Bandersnatch]

One point I feel you missed is how and where do you get your food tested to have the calorie breakdown done for the ingredient label?

[@MrJohnSmalley]

Honestly Dan...you have grown on me. Your story is inspiring and I respect the hustle. You turned this "hater" into a fan. Just bought your seasoning for the first time a month or so ago and it's a solid choice I like to use for my cilents as my job is being a personal chef. Keep on grinding Dan-O!!!

[@theForrestGalantey]

Lol much respect but what fid you hate him for earlier? Always respected Dan and his recipes on insta and what not years ago. Glad he made it and I buy hos seasoning, its pretty good.

[@MrJohnSmalley]

@theForrestGalantey I'm not quite sure, to be honest, as that was like a year ago. I think a lot of it had to do with being a personal chef and seeing how "cringe" his recipes he was cooking. I would notice the mistakes or bad cooking habits in those videos. But I soon realized that's just ignorant, and as a self-employed person myself, I respect the success and appreciate the journey.

[@jaylen0409]

I started in 2018 using a co packer. I been selling my blends part time since then. I am ready to focus on my business full time.

[@cythcy]

Hi, which co packer do you use?

[@sn2bkng]

I been making my dad’s special seasoning for years. I’m looking to advance it. I got people in 12 states hitting me up. But I need to get more professional looking to this video for help. Thanku. I’ve won every contest I’ve ever entered. From pulled pork to brisket to tritip

[@kathyfann]

It’s so good to Give help to others you are doing a wonderful thing here.

[@stephnee155]

[@Jackknife-TV]

That is so nice of you I will always be at danos customer just for the fact that if you think about it you may be helping out your competition........ But entrepreneurism is what America was built on unfortunately that is going by the wayside and it is nice to know that there are still people out there willing to help others succeed as well.

[@bahskitchen]

Thanks for sharing all the details. This video was very helpful. Until next time take care and God bless.

[@KarlaReyes-tq7pb]

Excellent advice! Thanks a lot for the guidance. I've been told by many people that love my cooking that I should sell the seasoning blends. It's been gnawing at me for years. I'm going to finally take the plunge! We just have a few names/logos to figure out first. Thanks again!!!

[@abundantp]

I'm so thankful for you. Do you get a comercial kitchen first? Do you have to go to the better business first.

[@freddyelias2161]

Dan thank you for sharing knowledge, it is very kind of you.

[@andrecarment7788]

Thank you so much! I was looking for such detailed information.

[@Makemyluck]

I love your voice because, I personally listen to videos at a 1.5 speed or 2.0 speed and for many people it doesn’t transition well. Meaning you’re unable to understand it because of how they speak they tone etc. i can perfectly understand you even at 1.5 speed video

[@CarlinPlayz]

I'm 14 and I managed to make this very good seasoning for hamburgers. I'll probably make a couple of containers and ask people in town to try it out. If people like it I'll probably try to sell it.

[@adamheck3013]

Absolute legend! Thanks for the informative vid man no one else is making content like this.

[@ngandhi220]

Dan Thank you for the best instructions ever! How did you market your products? What else did you do beyond farmers market. I have sold tea from farmers market. I want to know how to go beyond that initial market validation with a limited capital I have. Thanks!

[@glenndanzigg712]

Great energy and drive. They should be teaching this type of stuff in school. All natural entrepreneurship. The seasoning is awesome Dan!

[@danielleg2616]

People don't want anything out of someone's random kitchen so should the seasoning be manufactured somewhere and packaged?

[@nickhart5332]

Stoked I found your seasoning! Love it!

[@michaellangston2856]

Did you start off with an original flavor or did you have multiple flavors to start?

[@ford_rangerxl]

How did you come up with the name? Really love your channel BTW and your product looks great

What kinda of shows are you talking about, is there shows for just like new seasonings products ? Or things of that nature. I really enjoy the information and thank you

[@Kevin_747]

How do you guard your recipes when using a contractor for packaging?

[@dreamiezzz6478]

Thank you so much!! So im still stuck on if i need to establish an LLC first? Anybody know ? Do i need that to move forward and start selling

[@maximemoreau6941]

Nice video buddy. When you were making it yourself, were you using any special equipement to make them faster ? Commercial/industrial scale or a 0,1g 40$ scale ? Any other equipements you wish you had at the very beginning ?

[@overplayed3553]

so your only able to make with co packers or manufactures? co packers being smaller scale

[@hairbychestina5010]

Thank you!!! And much success in your business. Are you open to sharing cost vs. profit?

[@smallfaucet]

How about coming up with a product, manu-ing it yourself, then Co-packit then get another product going and keep that going? Is that the way?

[@krystaaguilar2966]

Super helpful!! Thank you!!!

Thank you for this. Super helpful!!!

[@rossweaver2128]

Ok so I have a product my restaurant I own has been making for over 40 years. Do you think I should still start small or go straight co packer? It’s a very successful product in our local region. Worried that growing too quickly could be an issue. Any thoughts?

[@WTFisLacy]

[@tastefullvegan7128]

Thanks for sharing this!!

[@lutherwaffles90]

When you went to farmers markets in the beginning, did you give samples or just place your seasoning on the table for people to try it out?

[@ricric8293]

I've got a good sauce that'll knock some socks off,its just that good.

[@oj9111]

[@toplyf.]

Great talk Dan.

[@ritewaywelding]

First off great video I love stuff like this, my question for you or any small business with big dreams is how did you finance the big orders? So when you need that 50k or 500k for Inventory where did that cash come from? I find this is the question most often avoided in a success story, do you have investors, bank loan, home equity or are the margins so good you can self finance. Thanks

[@malcolmjelani3588]

[@anasqai]

I know an easy way to have cows and goats milk in special bottle, can survive 1mth shld be alot after that to just sell like a Passive earning(becos have enough or wait for it to become cheese). I wish can do this in normal life(always having milk). The ruling way is weird for living. Having passive imagining kids days would already feel rich. When the crisis occur again(i heard will have alot of death and burns), i think doing this is nice - at least have Milk.

[@anasqai]

Of animal death* and exploding burns*

My moment was when a guy who is a friend tried a pork loin I smoked and he said it would sale like hot cakes in his restaurant.
