How I Started My Food Product Business

In this video, I am sharing with you how I started my food product business. I own a small energy ball company, which I created about 3 years ago. I learned so much in the last 3 years and I hope this video can be helpful to anyone who is interested in doing the same.

Have you ever thought about starting your own food product business? If so, let me know if you have any questions!

[@elliesmith8038]

How did you come up with the name. It’s so clever ❤

[@lizshaw1089]

Yes! Do a video on calculating profit margins! This is so helpful.

[@tanyaannn]

I definitely will! Thanks for watching Liz! :)

[@halalnews]

@@tanyaannn Would love to see the profit margins video as well!

[@XaneDaniel]

You are such a joy! Yay for sharing your story!! ❤️🙏

[@tanyaannn]

Thank you Xane! I appreciate you watching! :)

[@AdrianaGirdler]

I had no idea!! That is amazing. Thanks for sharing how you launched your business. Congrats Tanya, cheers!

[@ShishirKhadka]

Never knew you had a food product biz Tanya. Loved hearing the story of Bytz. I guess you sharing the story will definitely create a connection with the audience.

[@ritikarajpal8700]

This video was super helpful, Thank you for sharing Tanya!

[@tanyaannn]

Of course! Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions.

[@PaulPeixoto]

Great job, Tanya! I took a look at your Bytz. Love the branding/look. Another option for branding help is to go offshore. I have used a company in India over the past 10 years that has done fantastic work for both of my brands for a tenth of the cost. Love'em. Keep up the great work!

[@tanyaannn]

Amazing! Do you find these companies via services like Fiverr or Upwork?

[@PaulPeixoto]

@@tanyaannn Can't really remember. It's been so long. It might have been Fiverr or I might have just googled around.

[@antonioyniguez9340]

wow, congrats Tanya. This is so exiting :)))

Thank you Basia! 💛

Hi Tanya! Thanks for the video. I have always had a desire to make my own supplements due to the fact that some of the options available don't always fit what my patients need. Unfortunately, I've never taken action on this because the whole process makes me nervous. I know supplements are a little different than a food product, but it was helpful to see all the steps you went through and makes things seem more attainable. Thanks as always for the content!

[@tanyaannn]

I've worked with a cricket protein powder company in the past doing some business development so I got to see a bit of the supplement side. I would recommend finding an established supplement manufacturer to outsource the production. Regarding the ingredients, you can either source them yourself, or the manufacturer may already great relationships with suppliers they can connect you with.

[@DrJonTam]

Love your story!

[@tanyaannn]

Thank you Jon! :)

Hiya, I'm kinda late to this, but I'm really interested in your advice and experience on social media around marketing. Thanks for the video

[@sriramdevarajulu5531]

Hi! This is SRIRAM D B from South India. The contents provided by you is very awesome. I recommend you to give a video on profit margin calculations and how to use social media for sales and branding. Thankyou!!!

Good info

[@tanyaannn]

Thanks :)

[@raynechantel2738]

I am starting to sell microgreens - good time for that since food is going to get harder to get.

[@tanyaannn]

Amazing! I love microgreens! I always get them from the farmer's market!

[@battlerealestateinvestment2029]

Any insight on selling things like candy and how to mass produce it?

[@user-xr7zx4dr9w]

What about to preserve the product to maintain the food inside a package? Please

[@bobbobblesworth5634]

The website and social media sites are saying Bytz is closed permanently? What a shame! Wanted to learn more about the ingredients etc as I’ve been trying something similar but with a whole less sugar as most of these balls and bars are 30-45% natural sugar. Have you shared the recipes anywhere?

[@Agentzero200077]

Did you try to get the service of a food consultant to have your product?

[@mdrejoan9626]

Hi

[@johntownsend1837]

You’re not selling these on Amazon?

[@tanyaannn]

Hi John! I ended up closing the business during Covid to focus on other things.

[@OohlalaHolly]

I don’t have a recipe, but I know what I want

[@user-xr7zx4dr9w]

Do you use any preservatives? Please

[@tanyaannn]

I do not

[@JillTherese]

How are you so FAB !!!!!

[@tanyaannn]

Says you!! Thank you Jill!

[@MaroArmoni]

Unfortunately I went to the website and instagram account and it says it’s closed, with no explanation. Since this video is for people to start food businesses, it would be very nice for you to share your full experience as to why your food business has unfortunately came to an end, so that we all can take lessons and learn together

[@tanyaannn]

The business was mainly farmers market based and the farmers market closed during Covid so I had to make a tough call

[@o23o178]

@@tanyaannn Thank you so much for responding and bringing more clarification ❤ And I am so terribly sorry the business closed 🙏 I pray many more doors open for you and are given so much more success in your life and journey. Thank you again for sharing your story with us 🤗

[@LeahElizabeth]

What happened to your Bytz business?

[@tanyaannn]

Moved on shortly after Covid since the business was primarily farmer's market based and that was significantly impacted due to restrictions.

[@LeahElizabeth]

@@tanyaannn Ah I see! Did you ever try to get distribution into stores?

[@tanyaannn]

@@LeahElizabeth Yep! Bytz was in a few local stores.
