I thought of this idea last week. I am a huge instant noodle fan (especially in my college and high school days). Where I live, there are several local Asian supermarkets that sell ramen noodles. However, they only carry a small portion of the ramen that are available in other countries. I was thinking to myself that maybe there is a demand where you can buy a variety box where it includes variety of ramen from around the world. Thinking further, I thought of an idea to make it into a monthly subscription.
Over the weekend, I put a draft landing page together using WIX (Still in draft form). After putting a couple pages together, I ran into some issue.

1. My plan was to create a subscribe page where consumers can choose different options (spicy/nonspicy, different flavors). WIX does not support PHP. I am going to switch to a new hosting (probably godaddy)
2. Fiverr sucks most of the time. I hired a logo designer and asked for a Ninja. I mentioned this several time and they did not deliver. Now I need to find another designer.
3. I went through a couple of people through elance and odesk for help on issue #1. They always stood me up when asking to Skype. I definitely will not hire them. This has happened multiple times.
Plans:
1. Hire a web developer to put together a landing page that will have the functionality of choosing the options of different flavors...etc Completed
2. Buy Domain Name - Completed
3. Test the market using facebook ads and adwords. I will set a $400 budget for this. The subscribe page will go through steps of choosing the right flavor. At the end of the steps, they will put in their name, e-mail and submit. After they submitted, there will be a pop up that let them know that it is out of order or not available at this time. If they complete this process, I know that they are potential subscribers. Do you think I should also put a field in for credit card information? Since I don't have the products, I don't know if I should take this information.
Let me know your thoughts on the idea. On the site, I put it as $20 per box but I think the price is too high. I'm thinking $18 is a good middle ground.
