What if you discovered a cure for Acne?

But you're a 20 year old poor community college student with little to no resources.Obviously the market for a cure would be humongous. The question is, how do you market such a thing?
What would you do? Write an e-book?
Obviously the first step is to get a patent/copyright on any literature that you establish for such a thing. But after that, what then?

find investors... produce a small batch of the stuff and go to a couple of companies making demonstrations... or get a loan from the bank and produce/market the stuff yourself...

First up make sure your product actually works.. Secondly don't tell anyone the semantics of how it works, and thirdly, if you're 100% sure it works patent that shit and you'll never have to work again.

it's a process, a method, not an actual chemical...
That's the beautiful thing about it. You do it right at home without ever having to go buy anything.
Thus you would come up with a way to demonstrate how and why it works and then market it.
Market is a very simple way of putting it though and i'd be weary of taking it to some big companies. All the products out there only work temporarily and the customer must buy more of it if they want the results to continue.
This thing is going to run a lot of people out of business.
I've got a control group setup already and the results for one person have been beyond perfect. Since he started it 3 weeks ago, he has not had one single break-out and even the scars that he used to have are beginning to dissappear.

fuck, man... that sounds awesome!
if it's not an actual product, then you might want to talk to a publisher to see if you can get a book on the market...

Well not to break your balls OP but there are already natural remedies for acne and the likelyhood of your success is very slim. Use your imagination and figure out something new.

Publisher, yes.. good idea, i'm going to send some emails out to some publishers online and see what kind of response I can get.
All this has to do is hit the market, and it will spread like wildfire.

Acne covers/is confused by quite a few separate skin complaints?
What particular form of acne are your referring too?
Also 3 Weeks is not long enough a test to discount the placebo effect.
I certainly wouldn't go for e-book alone. You need to make a real guide and get on as many radio/TV shows as you can. Just ring hundreds of them up telling them you have a cure for acne, you have the people who were independently tested to testify for its proof and then plug your book.
Once demands there goto a publishers etc and get it all produced then go around creating more demand (TV, seminars, radio).
Anyone can steal your idea BTW. You have to copyright your book etc but they can still take your idea and repackage it. Thats just the way of the business world. If they are very blatant about the intellectual theft you may want to sue but if its some huge corporation with big lawyers behind them - you'd better be prepared to understand what your up against.
If I were you, I'd get the method endorsed by a Doctor (offer them 10% cut or whatever) then copyright the book then get it marketed and sold fast as possible before the idea is plagiarized dries up.

Yeh and over a span of 6 years I have tried and seen them all fail. They may work for a little while but the failure was always inevitable. That includes chemicals.
I myself simply stumbled upon the idea one day by mere luck. Just one can of coke would have me breaking out all over my body for days. I was horrible. That shit put me in depression for a long ass time because I felt that I just wasn't going to find a solution and that I was either going to grow out of it, or just deal with not ever being able to take my shirt off. All those times where I couldn't go to the beach or go swimming with friends.
Within 2 weeks of the initial usage, the acne has cleared for nearly 2 months and I don't see any way possible for it to come back.

I myself suffer from it pretty harshly. My skin reacts to sugar violently. Like I said, one can of coke would put me through hell. Ice cream pffff... i wouldn't touch the stuff before.
I have, or use to have, the type of skin that gets very oily. The kind that where you eat a donut or drink some sweet tea and not even 30 minutes after, i start feeling that oil start covering my face and body. In hot weather outside you can literally just feel the acne forming.
I'm well aware that I need to get it all down on literature and i'm starting that part today. I'm here to listen to other minds who have been through more of life then I have.

I'm telling you exactly how to get the most $$ out of this idea from a business point of view. I used to run a business and I understand a lot about it. Re-read my post I edited some of it.
If I was your manager I'd have the big money rolling in. I know exactly how its done.

Eat a diet of raw fruits and veggies and acne will be no problem, gluten has also been fingered as a culprit.
-------------------- "A human being is part of the whole, called by us 'Universe'; a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest -- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely but striving for such achievement is, in itself, a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security." Albert Einstein

sebum is the oil that gets secreted to your skin which causes the whole issue. If you have an issue where the gland is over producing it ( which is my problem as well as many millions of others ) then fruits veggies aren't going to do a whole lot.
It will help your system run cleaner, but it's not addressing the real issue.

Many doctors claim diet has no significant effect.

They're wrong.
Many people claim this and that. Fact is, different people react differently to different substances. For most of the people out there, it is a mix of the same 3 things which causes it to be the issue that it is.

I know they are wrong. Doctors claim all sorts. This is a fact you will work to your advantage.

Patent it, release it to the world for free, and then sue the shit out of anyone who infringes on your copyright.

Like ego death has already explained to me via pm though. That's not going to work vs some powerful corporation with an army of lawyers.

Unfortunately, capitalism doesn't work very well like that.
Too bad the world doesn't think like that though, sure would be nice.
